Praise Before the Breakthrough

God is everywhere, in the grief, in the pain, in the rejoicing, in the memories. God is found right in the faces of the people we love most. He is perfectly stitching the fabric of our lives together turning them into something so beautiful and brand new we sometimes have a hard time perceiving it. Life is new in this season. The way you handle life, nothing you have done or have been through will ever discredit you because the Lord is doing a new thing. Do you perceive it? And what are you going to do with it? . . . . . . #nanoinfluencer #discoverunder5k #influencerswanted #lifestyleinfluencer #influencernetwork #livinglifetothefullest #coastalva #hamptonroads #757 #microblogger #lovenn #easterfun #microblogger #propheticword #propheticblog #christiancreatives #mentalhealthmatters #griefsupport #faithblogging #christianblogger #anxietyhelp #mentalhealthcheckin

I've been looking at holiday after holiday, birthday after birthday,... Continue Reading →
