Quotes
I sensed God asking me, “Would you go back into the church and be a mess in front of people and proclaim my power in the middle of messes?”
I’m so grateful I didn’t let fear keep me from following where He wanted me to go.
At the end of the day I wanted to give a surrendered “yes” based on the faithfulness of God.
There was this sense that God was inviting me on an adventure.
I felt God saying, “You are my daughter, and I am going to take such good care of you.”
God calls us to lean in and to love people who are sometimes hard to love.
We were all made by a really creative God. He made each one of us to create beauty and light and love and send that out into a weary and dark and broken world.
How can we sing, not just with our voice, but with our lives?
When we are real and authentic and show up with a surrendered “yes,” God is there!
