Last night, as I struggled to fall asleep, I listened to Andrew drift off and I began to wonder what advice that head of his would one day share with our future son. I smiled in the dark because I had no doubt that his advice would be wonderful...but then another question came to mind that would send my mind racing again - “What advice did I have to give?!” After thinking of a million things, for what felt like hours, I finally came up with a lesson I hope to instill in John Ryan, and that I wanted to share with you today. “The happiest people are the ones who allow God to help them see the beauty of the present moment, appreciate the past, and trust Him with their future.” Living with this outlook allows us to live joyfully because we are able to see the blessings in our current phase of life; to strengthen our relationships because we’re able to appreciate the people in front of us rather than worrying about the next thing on our to do list; and to live without regret because we didn’t rush through the moments we’ll someday wish we could have back. Today, it’s my prayer that you would join me in applying this advice to our own lives. How often we need a reminder to slow down and take in the the blessing of a moment we’ll never get back. 🌿 Praying for you today and always, friends. Love in Christ. ***P.S. Tomorrow I’ll be traveling, so rather than having our Weekly Best New Self IG Live, I’ll be posting a IGTV episode tomorrow morning that will continue our walk through Romans! Be sure to let me know you’re thoughts!*** Bag: @karamacollection #helenelizabethspeaks #yourbestnewself #yourbestnewselfministries #biblestudy #biblestudynotes #advice #christianblogger #christianpodcast #womenoffaith #womenofgod #womensministry #littlerockblogger #arkansas #arkansaslife #arkansasblogger
“For whoever will save his life shall lost it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” 🌿 Matthew 16:25 In my experience, living out the purpose God meant for my life first required that I willingly surrender it. While that may not sound like something we want to do, let me reassure you that it is. Giving up our life (meaning, giving up worldly desires/our need for our own way), gives God the opportunity to reveal to us his desires and his plans for us. Nothing else in this world can give our life that kind of meaning, and/or that kind of purpose. Furthermore, we no longer have to envy someone else’s life, or feel the bitterness of not having what they have. It’s my prayer, today, that we would both ask God for the courage to release our hold on this life and all the things we want, so that we might find God’s true purpose for our life. In doing so, I believe we will find the joy and peace we’ve been searching for in everything else.♥️ If you haven’t listened to the latest episode of @yourbestnewselfpodcast, I hope today’s message will encourage you to do so! This quote and this verse are just a small part of what we discuss in Ep. 13: “Specially Chosen for a Special Responsibility”. Praying, as always, that my words speak to your heart, friends! Love in Christ. #yourbestnewself #helenelizabethspeaks #yourbestnewselfpodcast #yourbestnewselfministries #christianblogger #christianpodcast #christianpodcasters #arkansasblogger #littlerockblogger #womenoffaith #womenofgod #womenministry #womensministry
“It’s my prayer that, after listening to this episode, my words would spark a fire in you that changes your whole outlook...from one focused on self-fulfillment, to one burning to fulfill God’s purpose for you.” ♥️ Ep.13: “Specially Chosen for a Special Responsibility” The words above make up the closing statement of the latest episode of @yourbestnewselfpodcast (link in story!), and they couldn’t better express how I feel! Praying, as always, that the words of my podcast speak to your heart this Monday morning! Once you’ve listened, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Let me know in the comments below! 🌿 Love in Christ, friends!
