What source are you plugged into? If the Lord isn’t behind what we do then there isn’t true power there. We can’t really help anyone else if our source is disconnected. Let’s get plugged back into the source which produces the true power!!! #sourceofpower #plugintojesus #selfeffort #power #onlyfromjesus #speaktruthonly
Morning Coffee – John 15:11, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” True Joy is something that rests on the inside, and comes from Christ. it’s not paid for, or given to you by man. Why is that important? Well, when life reveals it’s challenges, you have reason to smile…..and no-one can take that from you. Remember, in Christ, true joy is already in you! #onlyfromJesus #trueJoy #myreasontosmile #Jesus #Christianlife

Today a certain someone yelled "I hate you!" to me, but a few hours later came to ask for a good night hug [& there was no explanation or apology, rather an acknowledgement that I guess it's OK to "still want a hug from someone you hate."] I honestly wasn't really offended at all at the comment, but rather frustrated that the request that followed could be made without so much as a second thought. I know that might seem strange to most, but #thestruggleisreal. It's been really new territory for me, being a #fosteradopt mom. I guess I have always felt like we've been blessed with two boys that have always been pretty easy. Sure, there were moments here & there, seasons through these 13 & 16 years of their lives, that I've felt uncertain, frustrated, inadequate...but to be honest, most of the time I have felt rewarded, gratified, and successful as a mom. We've always talked through our frustrations with one another, trusted each others' love, been able to laugh after there's been tension, and been able to say "I'm sorry" & know the other's heart was genuinely contrite & forgiving. The past two years have added many challenging dynamics to my motherhood, my marriage, my physical health, my mental peace, my spiritual faith. I have felt #momfail more times than I can count (definitely more in two years than in the 14 previous), and often daily, a digging deep for grace in light of my myriad manifested shortcomings & failures. It's true. I am admitting it aloud. I'm owning it. I'm processing it. I am leaning into it [well, working on it]. I am not perfect. 😲 And so, Here I am. I'm learning to smile differently (inside & out - does that make sense? I guess I mean literally - with this missing tooth - as well as figuratively). I have to dig reeeaaaallllly deep sometimes for that #grace that comes #ONLYFROMJESUS & then I have to hold onto it for dear life (though sometimes, I let it slip a bit, momentarily, you know?).... I'm OK, & I'm thankful, & I'm determined to learn my lesson & continue to grow. It may be hard, & I may smile weird sometimes...🤪😖😌😁...but it's ALL good! 😉 #trusttheprocess I am learning... #letgo & #letGod. #clichebutstilltrue
Real peace, real joy #HARVEST #f1nd #poplarbluff #quoteoftheday #onlyfromjesus
Received this beautiful hand painted canvas from a sweet longtime friend. Looking at it, reminded me to Worship. Celebrating the birth of Jesus our King. Hands lifted in surrender. This pic illustrates the posture of my heart today. How about you? Are you able to look up and lift those wide open hands and arms to him, surrendering all of your heart and soul to him? The one who was born to save the world. That includes you Baby. Do it sister! Let him take it away (whatever is holding you back) and fill you with nothing but peace and joy. This is his gift to you. Right now. And always. “Let joy rise up Oh heart, believe. Let joy rise up in me. “Joyful, joyful we adore thee God of glory, Lord of love Hearts unfold like flowers before thee Opening to the sun (Son) above.” I love you @sheptupp This is my prayer for you today. @npccfresno @npworship #surrender #joyandpeace #onlyfromjesus
Thankful for these two. 💗💙 Not really sure what’s happening all the time and trying to pull things together daily (as these photos might make it seem like, ha!). I need more sleep, I need a better attitude, I probably need to let others help more, and I need to set some structure in place to just get better at life and help them learn how to live and just have a healthy, fun, & balanced childhood that I know effects the rest of their lives. I definitely know things will never be perfect but asking God to help bring breakthrough in this season of life for all of us and grace on days and weeks like this one where Sarah is getting through her first cold and Joseph is fighting a double ear infection. God, help me to focus on you and depend on you moment by moment in the realness, rawness, chaos, and highs and lows of every day. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 #JosephDavidApostle #SarahSaintJoy #brotherandsister #matching #ChristmasPjs #Peace #onlyfromJesus
Lord, I need Your wisdom not wisdom that comes from worldly sources. Let Your wisdom flow in me to guide, direct and give me insight in every area of my life. Cause Your wisdom to teach me in Jesus name. #wisdom #spiritofwisdomfallonme #guidance #direction #onlyfromJesus #IhavethemindofChrist
I owe You my life I owe You my everything Without You, I'm nothing With You, I can do anything . Thank you for the cross and all the price You've paid . When You said, "It is finished!" I knew my life has been saved . I'm no longer the same. . #goodfriday #jesus #redeemersaviourfriend #myeverything #mightytosave #salvation #onlyfromjesus
Be wild. Be crazy. Life free. When people ask you why, say why not? Don't hesitate to do what you feel you should. Don't resist happiness, or spontaneity. Life is about making memories. Why would you fight those opportunities away? You only get one life, and no backspace button. No second chances in decisions. This is why you think wisely. #knowledge #onlyfromjesus #yahweh #myking
