Humans love titles: king, mom, author, influencer,

Humans love titles: king, mom, author, influencer, speaker, elder, pastor, or deacon.

God loves the heart and reason behind the titles. What are you doing?: “…for the sake of His people” (1 Chron. 14:2)

This year, I’ve gotten to lead a lot behind the scenes, with no notoriety in the small things and in the hiddenness of my home.

Although my human heart seeks a title. I know my God is looking for a shepherd: lowly, and noble that he can use to safeguard His people.

It struck me in 2nd Samuel 5 how despite David’s title: King, all the people knew that David was their shepherd because the Lord had used the word shepherd, “‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.” (2nd Samuel 5:2)

In Chronicles, we find out the reason for David’s Kingship, “And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted FOR the sake of his people Israel.” (1 Chron. 14:2)

It was not about David and his kingship, or even being recognized as a king, it was about the people of Israel whom God called him to steward and shepherd. When we think of a shepherd we think of someone willing to protect, care, and safe-guard their sheep at all costs.

So, the next time you go looking for a title. Ask yourself: is God looking for a shepherd?

Since it’s a thing! #fridayintroductions I’m here for it!

-37 weeks pregnant today with our first little MISS! We have 3 boys-Ages 5, 3, 2 and baby due in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!

-I use too many !!!!!!! sometimes it alarms people and when I text I fire them off one at a time... I have been told I’m the most annoying texter in the universe. Hello emojis 🤣☺️🙂🙌😙♥️😘👀🙃👀

-I get made fun of by my close friends for being impractical. No hand towels, pizza cutters, or good kitchen utensils at my house! Although, I host at least 1-2 times a week and believe it is a part of our ministry as a couple! I also think the fact that I am so impractical is because my mom was extremely practical! 😉 It’s my rebellious side!

-I’m a straight up enneagram 4 with a 3 wing. I’m super eclectic in my home decor and dress, but super ambitious with my life.

-Dreamer by nature! I still dream of writing published Bible studies of my own & owning a large ministry that can serve women worldwide!

-Lastly, I have a passion for hermeneutics and correct Biblical interpretation so I have created both a journal and an e-course to teach women how to study the Bible more accurately!!!

-tell me about you! Are you practical? Impractical? Enneagram number? Annoying texter????????

Your calling is worth the wait. David was anointe

Your calling is worth the wait.

David was anointed King at the age of 16, but did not become King until the age of 30. 👑

For 14 years he was either tending to his sheep or he was running from Saul who was trying to kill him. Can you imagine? Would you doubt God’s call on your life if you spent all your time running away from Saul who was trying to kill you for 14 years instead of doing what specifically God had spoken over your life?

When we wait on God we display a humble submission to the Father’s timing and timeline, and an acknowledgment that His way is the BEST way even if it takes longer and doesn’t look like we thought. #chasingsacred #chasingsacredapp

“TRUE power is to be found not in one’s positi

“TRUE power is to be found not in one’s position in society but in one’s posture before God.”-New American Commentary

As a stay at home mom, this quote jumped out at me.

It is so true that we often give others notoriety for their power, influence, or position in society. But, the truth is-God honors those that humbly submit to him in all they do. So, to those that feel like they aren’t making a difference right, now. Or, that their position is not influential or maybe you’re dealing with an illness, pregnancy, or handicap that makes you feel like you can’t do what you want to do.

Today, instead of seeking to find glory, meaning, or purpose in what you are doing. Look towards Him, and give Him the glory, honor, and awe that he so deserves.♥️🥰🙌 Giving him my posture today, not my position. #chasingsacred

Paul was prevented from visiting the church of The

Paul was prevented from visiting the church of Thessalonica, and because of this he wrote to them instead—1 and 2 Thessalonians. For centuries now, the body of Christ has been encouraged by these letters to the Thessalonians, and Satan’s “block” was actually God’s sovereign plan from the beginning.

“But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face, because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.”- 1 Thess. 2:17-18

It is easy to get discouraged when you continually face opposition, and as you bear more fruit in your life, you will face more and more opposition from the enemy. As we know, Paul faced continual opposition throughout his ministry. In this passage, he had to flee the city of Thessalonica because of persecution, and was actually driven out of the city. He desired so badly to visit the church of Thessalonica, even using the phrase “again and again,” to describe how much he wanted to visit. But people had driven him out of the city, questioned his character, and were speaking badly about his motives. Paul’s “ethos” had come into question, or his character.

Yet Paul knew the opposition was ultimately from Satan, saying, “Satan blocked our way” (1 Thess. 2:18). Satan blocked his way because our enemy has an agenda: he does not want people to come to know Jesus. But what we are not told is that because Paul was unable to GO to the Thessalonians again, he wrote them these letters that we now read today. So many believers have read and learned from these letters, also believed to be the first of many epistles that Paul penned to the churches.

Yet as he was writing this, facing opposition, I am sure he did not realize this opposition would further the gospel in ways he never could have imagined, and that all of us would be reading and studying this today. But God knew. You see, often we limit God, and give too much power to Satan. We think because Satan has opposed God’s work, that God’s work will be stopped. But instead, we see time and time again that God uses hard situations for our good. #chasingsacred
