Today we celebrate the gift of Jesus—Emmanuel, God with us. Whether this season feels full of joy, quiet reflection, or a mix of emotions, my prayer is that you experience His peace, His nearness, and His gentle renewal. May grace meet you right where you are, and may hope rise again in your heart.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, rest, and the reminder that you are deeply seen and dearly loved. ✨

Shout out to the generations of the faithful that lived during the 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments.

The mothers, fathers, and grandparents held tight to the promises of God. They trusted His word, lived as an example of faith, and passed down a legacy of belief. They told their children and grandchildren about the living Lord, His mighty works, and the promises He made for a wonderful future. Even in generations of silence, they did not waver.

So that, when the time was just right, a young Jewish girl would be so full of faith that when an angel visited to tell her that she would birth the Savior of the World, she didn’t hesitate to answer, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” (Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭38‬)

We may be the no-names, the forgotten ones, those that don’t get any notoriety, but don’t forget that our legacy matters. Listen to the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you as a Believer in Christ. Stay faithful, even in seasons of silence, for your faith may just have an amazing impact on those around you.

I got this tattoo about 14 years ago to remind myself that in the music, my heart is rejuvenated. Now, that’s doesn’t mean just any music, but I mean in worship music to the Lord, my heart fills with joy.
🎶 ❤️
When I feel down about circumstances not going my way, I turn my eyes to the Lord who holds everything in His hands.
🤲
When I feel overwhelmed, or like I’m failing at life ( ), I look to Him to remember that my worth is not found in my works.
🙏
BUT, this doesn’t always happen so linearly. I usually spend days, maybe weeks, sulking before I look down at this tattoo and remind myself that I need to turn to praise. I need to turn my gaze away from myself and to the joy of the Lord that is my strength.
😍💪
For me, I find that change in music. I encourage you to find your switch. When you’re down, what helps turn your eyes back to the Lord?
