My blue dane, is hardly ever blue in spirit. Love this dude. Where all my dog - lovers at?!
EB and I are cooking up some stuff for y’all. All I can say right now is... get ready for some solid video content! What’s a topic we should cover?
to think that this is just the beginning in so many ways... is pretty crazy.
Don’t over think it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A phrase I’ve had to say to myself over and over. A phrase that helps me release the swirl of thought that can go round and round in my head. ⁣⁣ But why do so many of us do this? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Did you know that there’s a ton of scientific studies around this phenomenon of “𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 ”? ⁣ That means there are a lot of us overthinking things, friends! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So, what do these scientific studies say? ⁣What are they uncovering about overthinking? ⁣⁣ One study by Sir Kenneth Robinson, author and international advisor on education. ⁣⁣ In his Ted Talk, Robinson denotes that children are open minded, out of the box, fearless thinkers, but as they progress in life, children learn to fear being wrong. They slowly stop offering their own out-of-the-box ideas.⁣⁣ Robinson goes on to tell a story of a little girl who was drawing in her elementary class. When the teacher asked what she was drawing the little girl said “God”. The teacher began to explain that she couldn’t know what God looked like. ⁣⁣ True, uninhibited thoughts and creativity, says Robinson, becomes squashed. ⁣⁣ This contributes to why we overthink... our fear of being wrong. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So, the truth is... ⁣⁣ We will all be wrong or fail multiple times in life. We all will probably try something and fail and be wrong more times than we can count. ⁣⁣ But 𝑮𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑺 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻- even if we are wrong...⁣⁣ 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑫𝑶𝑬𝑺 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑫𝑬𝑭𝑰𝑵𝑬 𝑼𝑺⁣⁣ WE WILL BE OKAY. ⁣⁣ WE CAN STAND BACK UP AND ⁣⁣ TRY SOMETHING AGAIN OR ⁣⁣ SOMETHING NEW. ⁣⁣ We ACTUALLY win for trying. ⁣⁣ Ya know why? ⁣⁣ Cause every 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑 𝒐𝒖𝒕t is a 𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕕 . ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We aren’t defined by our wins or losses. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sir Kenneth Robinson concludes his Ted Talk with a simple phrase to overcoming overthinking, He said: TRUST YOUR GUT. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’d like to add, trust your gut and listen to God. ⁣⁣ 𝔻𝕆ℕ’𝕋 𝕆𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕋ℍ𝕀ℕ𝕂 𝕀𝕋. ⁣⁣ Don’t let the fear of trying or being wrong stop you from beginning something, cause on the other side of fear, is freedom in abundance. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be” – John Wooden⁣

Missing my London roots and this latte from Harrods... where the 60 year old barista wrote hi gorgeous in the foam. 😬🤣
A small but mighty space in our home. Dark walls man, i’m here for it.
From a young age I was really into skincare and hair care. I remember using clean and clear face wash, ya know the one with the bursting citrus beads 😬, apricot face scrub and ponds cold cream. Can i get an amen from all the kids who grew up in the 90’s!😱🤣🤣🤣 ⁣ ⁣ My routine has really evolved since those early years of skincare and my heart for non-toxic beauty has become a passion. It’s been a journey to educating myself on safe products I can use everyday. To test and try things and see what works for me, and i’ve learned so much along the way and found some fantastic companies and products that I love. So, today i’m sharing my current line up:⁣ ⁣ ⚡️CLEANSER: Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser with the PMD Silicone Cleansing Brush. ⁣ (Since i started using this brush i have seen a noticeable difference in my skin, especially in my pores.)⁣ ⁣ ⚡️TONER: @elia.simply.free their desert toner for dry skin is my fav. SUPER clean product with like 6 ingredients. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⚡️SERUM: @madhippieskinproducts exfoliating serum. y’all. this stuff is everything. i have seen a total difference in my skin tone and fine lines. ⁣all i can say is apple stem cells. (look it up) ⁣ ⚡️OIL: I first press in a few drops of @monatofficial rejuveniqe oil to my face and follow with my @nashandjones seed facial serum for normal to dry skin. I’m obsessed with how these two products have renewed a glow in my skin. ⁣ ⁣ what are some of your fav skin-care go-to’s?
Breakthrough. We use this word so often to declare or describe or proclaim but what does it actually mean? Let’s call on webster’s shall we? ⁣ ⁣ break·through⁣ a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.⁣ ⁣ It’s interesting that the word breakthrough isn’t defined but something happening for us. It’s not defined by a sudden unforeseeable development. But rather, it’s defined by the actual words: discovery and development. ⁣ ⁣ what does discovery mean? ⁣ - the action or process of discovering or being discovered. ⁣ What about development?⁣ - the process of a new state of growth or advancement. ⁣ See those two words ACTION & PROCESS? ⁣ Those are verbs which means there’s a call to action in these definitions. Both words denote movement. Both words mean that we are active participants in what we call breakthrough. ⁣ ⁣ 1 Corinthians 3:9 says that we are co-laborers with Christ. ⁣ Actually, the scriptures make many references to us being workers and laborers for the Lord. ⁣ This leads me even further to believe that God is communicating to us that we have a role in this story. We aren’t just sideline players- we aren’t meant to be stagnant or inactive but TRULY ACTIVE participants in the story.⁣ ⁣ Ya know what’s interesting about the definition of breakthrough? It’s that it’s saying, apart from discovery and development there can’t be breakthrough. ⁣ They are the very words that define it what breakthrough is. ⁣ So, without the process of discovery or the action of development breakthrough isn’t possible. Which leads me to believe that breakthrough doesn’t just happen, t here is a process leading up to it...⁣ ⁣ It’s our choice to say yes and walkout what it means to develop and grow and advance. ⁣ It’s like Jesus loves us so much that He wants us to be active players in the process of breakthrough, He wants us along for the journey. He wants to co-labor with us. He wants to walk it out along side us. ⁣ ⁣ In the definition of breakthrough it says the word sudden”. Yet all the words inside breakthrough mean process. How contradicting. But maybe it’s that when we are in the process we often times can’t see how far we’ve come... (continues in comments)

TILL THE EARTH. wow. I’m struggling for words but here we go...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ this song is such a snap shot of where our church body is and i am honored to have written this with @swpjustin and @mrampulla.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is one of those songs that just happened. We were seeing God move in this wave of passion, joy and freedom in our church, people dancing and singing and praising unto Jesus. We were watching fun explode through worship and heaviness and depression and death just fall off people. So, this song just sorta spilled out as we reflected on what we were witnessing! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ God is joy. He is Fun. He is freedom. He is revival and He is stirring a fire & passion for His name and for his nature to be known. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This song would not be what it is without @swpjustin @mrampulla @brad_oliver1 @hannahelizabetholiver @jeremyweldon and our producer @johnstrandell - John made our song come to life and made the vision a reality. ⁣And @lindseyplevyak with how she documented our process. God used all us to weave His heart into this song. ⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ My prayer for this song is that it would release heaviness to anyone who hears it and that the sound of God’s great and deep joy would go out and release freedom in the earth.
