Come Out of Your Shell
This week’s guest post comes to us from Diane Reeves, and it is a powerful reminder that we do not walk alone.
“To remain hidden in our shells for fear of our weaknesses being exposed is a strategy from the enemy that isolates and imprisons.” Vulnerability can be scary but it is also rewarding. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 reminds us that we were designed for authentic togetherness.

Be Still
Today I will be sharing a poem by John Roedel. Recently I was asked about my ‘creative process,’ something I never expected to be asked. Each morning I prioritize spending time with God and pray that He leads me to whatever it is that I’m going to share with you through this movement. He finally led me to this poem, and it turned out to be something I needed to hear.

This One
This week’s guest post comes to us from Diane Reeves, and it is a poem titled “This One.”
Each morning you open my eyes / You help me to see / A brand new start / You purify my heart
As we walk through the door of a brand new day / I am not sure what’s ahead / But I know I am being led

One of the first songs I learned in Sunday School was ‘This Little Light of Mine.’ Anybody else?
Well this one serves as a great reminder that, my Sister, you were made to SHINE!

Coco
Then, one evening just before her bedtime prayer, the youngest daughter again asked what it would take for them to finally get a puppy. The Father gave a full list of details, a list so impossible he knew it would never happen. Plus, he was confident he would not have a change of heart.

Heard
God hears your call when you feel alone or just don’t know what to do next. Whether it’s a whisper for help or a song of praise, He hears you. What’s even more amazing is your Father hears every beat of your heart and listens for every breath you take. Without words even spoken He hears you.

Powerful Beyond Measure
I’d like to share with you an excerpt from one of my favorite books, A Return to Love, written by Marianne Williamson. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?

Running on Fumes
We were simply not created to give 300% so why do we keep striving to achieve an unrealistic definition of perfection?
We allow the world to define who we should be as women, mothers, wives, daughters, and even Christians. Beyond that we forget the importance of spending time with God and making time for ourselves. So what can we do to make sure we are not running on fumes?

Lunch Table
To be overlooked and left out hurts at any age. But here’s what I know: I am absolutely not forgotten by my Father! His unconditional love for me doesn’t require me to be young, popular or perfect. With God I never sit alone.

The Gift of Peace
Guest post by Diane Reeves
Peace in the midst of what nags you only comes from the presence of the Lord and is a true gift. Sometimes the enemy of our souls nags us and tells us to give up, but just because we have not seen God answer yet does not mean He isn’t going to!

What’s in a Word?
Absolutely everything is in His word!
So if your morning doesn’t begin with spending some time in His word I implore you to begin something new today! Imagine driving in a storm without your wipers on! Ask yourself why you use them? So that you can see what is ahead of you clearly, because it keeps you safe, it helps you navigate through the storm.

You can be confident in your next step knowing God has got you! Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from ALL that God has for you! Yes, when you walk in His destiny for your life it’s scary, and living your calling isn’t going to be easy, BUT if you place your confidence in God He will equip, cover and use those gifts inside of you for His glory!

God of the Gap
He is not only Alpha and Omega, He is the God of ‘soon,’ the God of ‘you’re close,’ the God of ‘hold on, don’t grow weary.’ He is the God of ‘don’t look at the wind, waves or the sea that may be raging around you, just keep your eyes on Me - I won’t let you go under!’

He Sings Over Me
Guest post by Maria Gibilisco
The Lord your God is with you, The Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” — Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
It was 2012, everything in my life that could be shaken was being rocked with a ferocity that threatened to break me. It was then that God used a friend who gave me a card with the above verse written in it. Zephaniah 3:17 instantly became a significant and lasting source of encouragement to me.
