Actually, it’s my birthday. BUT... I want YOU t Actually, it’s my birthday. BUT...

I want YOU to feel seen and celebrated today. And every day! 

Because you were created:
ON purpose. 
WITH purpose. 

And the Giver of Every Good Gift loves you. Sings over you. And delights in you.

So I hope you’ll join me in intentionally looking for beautiful little details in your day & letting them point you toward delighting in God.

If you work with dismantling limiting beliefs or u If you work with dismantling limiting beliefs or use affirmations, this #LittleResurrection is for you.

I’m a novice gardener. I enjoy it’s magic and have heard it’s the perfect hobby for Enneagram 1 Reformers. It helps us rest in the waiting for the perfection we’re convinced is possible.

About a year ago, I planted seeds of Red Russian Kale, Dinosaur Kale, and Broccoli along the side of our back deck.

And when soon after the plant with the red stems came through the soil I presumed it was the Red Russian.

I learned to pick it in the morning as that’s when it’s taste was less bitter, put it in smoothies, salads, atop pizza and mixed into stir fry‘s. And repeatedly affirmed it as kale.

At least until it grew hardy enough and tall enough to crown itself with these yellow flowers and positively affirm, I  A M  B R O C C O L I.

And it’s the same with us and all the sideline gardeners in our lives who sum us up based on what they see & think they know. So on this Good Friday, Silent Saturday, and the Easter Sunday rescue that is coming, I pray you revel in knowing you were created ON PURPOSE WITH PURPOSE. Understanding on an instinctive, cellular level that God sacrificed an incredible amount so that you could walk in that purpose hand-in-hand with your Creator & Vine Dresser.

Oh, man. Today’s #littleresurrection began Sunda Oh, man. Today’s #littleresurrection began Sunday night. A dear friend sent me a song saying, this song “screams Rachel to me. Maybe it’s God wanting you to know this. You are so loved!!”

And this many days later it’s still leveling me to a tearful mess in the resurrection of my instinctive, cellular level recognition of God’s provision.

The link she sent me was for “Jireh”, performed by Elevation Worship & Maverick City. It’s just a YouTube search away if you want to give it a go.

***around the 6:10 mark (there’s a lot of spirit-filled soul scripting that’s so nourishing to me at this juncture!) Naomi Raine recounts, “if he dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor, how much more will he clothe you?”. 
And that’s where the tears start, as shown in pic 2. I spare you the full come apart sobbing that follows shortly after. 

So today in the hammock, where I’m safely held, I asked God, why of all the beautiful lyrics is this the one that keeps leveling me and then resurrecting me in hope?

God said it’s not the physical clothes you needed a reminder on, it’s the spiritual.

Then led me here:
“She is clothed in strength & dignity. She laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 35:21

Guys, it’s been a real stormy season and I am thankful God is constantly working out the come back story. And using friends to make sure I don’t forget it. 

Be blessed! 🙏🏼

New life popping up through the old, raggedy edged New life popping up through the old, raggedy edged life counts as my first little resurrections experience this Holy Week.

I’ve struggled to keep this “easy to grow” “low maintenance” plant happy. But soon after I recorded this week’s Easter Meditation with the challenge to look for #littleresurrections, I saw this. And smiled deep.

I see what you did there, Spirit. There’s no failure or shortcoming I create where you aren’t present and working it all for good for those who love you.

What little resurrections are you seeing? Share below or tag me in your posts. I crave alllll the goodness!

“When I make it happen.” Staying in touch wit “When I make it happen.”

Staying in touch with God, holding awareness, and praying continually is incredibly good. But we need a balance of foundational, focused, sit down, quiet Bible study time. So necessary for staying grounded! And it only happens when we make it happen.

The Ultimate Bundles team has created a stack of digital study resources specifically for this purpose; intentionally seeking God in all your relationships, roles, seasons, and responsibilities.

To keep the price low, the sale is only open for 4 days & ends tonight at 11:59 pm EST! 

See if it’s right for you.

Throughout the Bible, hyssop is used physically an Throughout the Bible, hyssop is used physically and symbolically. This was highlighted for me this week in Lysa Terkeurst’s study, “It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way.”

In the Old Testament, God instructed the Israelites to use hyssop in ceremonial cleansing, purifying a home infested with mold, and as a paint brush to mark their homes safe or pure as followers of Yahweh to avoid the final and most severe of the 10 Egyptian plagues.

And in a fulfillment of prophecy in the New Testament, Roman soldiers used a branch of hyssop to raise a sponge soaked in wine vinegar to taunt Jesus and exacerbate his thirst as he hung on the cross. 

Lysa used this “purple thread” of hyssop that’s woven through the Bible to illustrate that whether we’re on the receiving end of someone else’s sin or it’s sin we’ve created ourselves, Jesus heals the consequences.

As she talked, I remembered Hyssop’s description and knew there was a meaningful crossover! 

Hyssop’s essence form clears guilt, shame, and self-sabotage, as well as the barriers these emotions create toward receiving abundance. Hyssop is also indicated for those who grew up in guilt-based religious systems which has created obstacles to accessing a relationship with Creator.

As a Christian energy healer, these reminders never stop flooring me. We are loved and healing in every sense of the word has always been key for the Ancient of Days. 

Hyssop can be found in my sister page’s Self-Aid flower essence blend. Self-Aid is a self-sabotage anti-venom & a powerful support for limiting beliefs work.
