Anonymous asked: how did you grow and develop in your faith? I want that..

Mm, good question and this is as simple as I can put it - Our God is so active and alive, and He’s so good at captivating my heart. The past year has been one of a lot of freedom, renewing my heart, and learning to be comfortable in my own skin. I also have and LOVE the two strong women of God who mentor me and love on me - He really likes to surround us with people that we can run with and encourage. :)

Its also essential for us to spend deep and intimate time with Him, not just because it is encouraged by the church, etc, but also because Jesus Himself is so in Love with us and He actually wants to speak directly into our hearts and bring us closer to Him..Thats His desire; to be close and intimate with you.

The most important thing I can tell you, anon. is that it is ALL so worth it. To give our lives to Jesus everyday and allow Him to make your heart alive, its worth it. And that He’s after you like He’s after me. We are targets of his relentless Love. He sees your hunger boiling inside and its a matter of choosing to say, “Yes!” to him. Whatever life may bring, choosing to love Jesus in that moment is the best choice we can make. 

Keep pressing in, anonymous! Our time here is so short, where every second and moment counts. Know that you were created like NO ONE else on this earth and God’s going to release greater revelation of who you are in Him and how special you are to Him. Keep fighting the good fight! 

Ps. “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” - Mark 11:24 (nkjv)

Pss.Its a huge journey that I am still walking through! But I wouldn’t choose it to be any other way.

And sorry if you sent this a while ago! I rarely check my messages, but I am so happy I did!

Praying for you anonymous.                                                                               Take your rightful place in our lives, Jesus!
