I’ve been thinking about what it means to receive the kingdom of God like a child. What does that look like?
Let me tell you a story .

I wrote a letter to my (potential) future husband, and in it I included what God has taught me are the qualities of a godly man ~ and what I should work on in the waiting myself.
Life is all over the place right now. But that’s what life is. And to trap it in a box the size of a blog post would be wrong.
So here are all the little things God has taught me this week (along with some goofy moments with Lily;)
God’s love doesn’t make sense. Here’s why.
(Also, if you like Newsboys, you’ll probably also like this one;-)
The world has lost sight of what it means to be a woman.
But there’s something beautiful and poetic about being crafted from a rib that speaks volumes about what it means to be a woman of God.
At camp, I started realizing Jesus sits across from me while I pray, stands beside me while I worship Him, and speaks to me in so many ways.
And after that, I couldn’t seem to get rid of Jesus.
Matthew 25:23 says, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
I want to live for the eternal reward like that. I want to reach heaven and hear my Father, best friend, lover, king, and God say well done.
A lot of things are changing, and it can be scary. But Jesus’s love for you isn’t one of them. And this allows you to step into this next season fearlessly and confidently, because you are tethered to the unchanging love of your savior.
My heart is so easily discontented with God’s pacing. Either a season can’t come fast enough, or a season is passing too quickly.
But in every season, God’s love and goodness and mercy and forgiveness will never leave me.
“God, thank you for bringing me so far. You know how much I want to be an author. But–”
And these were some of the hardest words I’ve ever prayed–
“But, if it’s not your will for me to be an author, don’t let me be one.”
