god calls out caleb for being different, for his spirit. he follows passionately and wholeheartedly. he stands out. and so god rewarded him.

what would it be like to stand out to god? to have a passion like the one caleb showed us?

even if we weren’t talking about how we follow our god, and we were talking about our fashion sense or just straight up morals…standing out requires guts to do the abnormal. risks will have to be taken to live a different life than the one of our neighbor. tbh, i believe god is calling us to live abnormal, abundant lives, to stand out from the crowd so that the crowd can be like “hey that girl over there, something’s different about her. let me go see whats up.”

let us stand out today, and everyday. let us follow wholeheartedly and passionately.

tomorrow is the day we celebrate a little baby coming into the world and changing the game forever

what is november teaching me?

it is teaching me patience, not that i have it, but that i need more of it. patience with friends, patience with mom, patience & hope in The Lord.

november is teaching me selflessness. it’s teaching me “how deep the waters of my pride.” loving, no strings attached. taking second place.

november is teaching me to show up. if they need love give them love, advice give them advice. not walking away when i think my job is done. being there. showing up.

november is teaching me to please only One. He loves me for me, i don’t have to do anything to receive His crazy, beautiful love. my only responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love.
