Me Without Makeup

Hello all!

I love my blue eyes, light, fine, and super-long brown hair. This picture is of me doing what I do best- sailing a large sailboat. No make-up, no airs, and I probably didn’t think about what I wore that day. And sailing gives new meaning to the idea of wind-blown hair…

Next articleNeed a Reminder That God Has a Plan For You? Watch “Running Inside Out”!

Hello PI girls! I'm an avid bookworm and author. My fantasies and characters are so real to me that I dream from their perspectives, and I love them beyond belief. For a while it felt like my only friends were imaginary, but then I became a debater with other kids my age and a sailor on a 90-foot sailboat with a crew who have become my second family. Now I'm making friends all the time, and I hope to make friends here on PI! I would describe myself as adventurous, tough, friendly, witty (My brother calls it sarcasm), and impossibly imaginative!

If the focus from day one is a relationship with G

If the focus from day one is a relationship with God you will not turn back.

(Bookmark me and tag a friend for inspiration in faith!)

Be focused on the incredible blessing that you can know God, and that through Jesus you can have a relationship with Him.

'...with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.' Phil. 3:14

A relationship with God is the greatest prize there is and nothing in this world, no material gain will ever compare to His Glory. We know material things come and go and to find freedom from their inherit burden is a spiritual pursuit.

When you try to live your life the way you have always lived it and fit God into that picture you will still be burdened. Make God the focus, turn towards Him, everything else in your life must fit around Him and in that surrender you are following Jesus. To follow Jesus one must be focused on building the kingdom of God.

God loves you even when you do not love yourself.

(Save me and Tag a friend!)

God is always with us and will never leave or forsake us. Even when those we love forsake us God is there. Even when our lives are turned upside down and we feel the pain of rejection or the fear of uncertainty God is there with open arms. How blessed to know an everlasting God that understands you, He knows your heart and your concerns and He loves you.

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:” 1 John 3:1a

His love is never ending, never fades, it is always as strong as it was the first time you felt it, deep and strong within your heart. At times our attention might fade, and then we can feel like God is far, but realize it is not God that is drifting, it is only ever you.

Spend some time today to connect to His love, tell Him just how much you love Him and experience in return His love for you. Enjoy and give thanks for this Heavenly embrace. His great love endures all.

Trust in God and you will be strengthened.

Trust in God and you will be strengthened.

(Tag a friend and SAVE me for encouragement)

We must come to God in humility and honest faith to request physical and spiritual strength. To have faith in God does not mean that there will be no fear or doubt. These are among the enemies commonly used distractions. However practicing your faith will bring you back to truth and in God's truth there is deep and life changing strength. God may ask you to make some life changes, and where ever He calls you, trust He will give you the strength you need to be with it.

Keep your eyes on Jesus and move forward where He leads, no matter what comes your way. God will guide you through and if you need more strength, then lean into your faith and ask for your path to made clear and for your strength to be refreshed. If the enemy comes knocking at your thoughts, ask God to protect your thinking and spend time in His word.

Faith is a decision to trust and obey Jesus and sometimes it is believing His Word above human doubt. Trusting that Jesus loves you, that He will never forsake you and that He will provide for your every need.

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" ~ Isaiah 41:10

Take inspiration in the list of faithful believers performing unbelievable tasks throughout history, they were called and God was behind them every step of the way.

We Serve a Limitless God.

(Bookmark me and share with a friend for encouragement!)

God is limitless in his love and power. He is timeless. There are no boundaries of time to God. He is the creator of all things, God is infinite, God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-capable.

Your job is to have limitless faith and limitless trust in Him.

Unbound by the limitation of time, you can turn your heart over to Him at any point in your life and He will love you as you are right now. There is no limit to what God can do. When God calls on you, He will ask you to stop limiting yourself so you can live in His truth and be who you are called you to be in His Grace and for His Glory.

Why not look at where you might limit His work in your life, I find my thoughts are a great place to start! Look at your thoughts today and ask yourself are they based in His truth?

“...we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” - 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)

Taking our thoughts 'captive to Him' is a beautiful starting point for opening up your mind in faith to see just how limitless He really is and how very much He loves you.

He’s waiting to work in your life - to guide, to provide, to comfort, to bless - He’s waiting for you to seek Him first, and seeking Him first starts in your thought life.

How can you lift those limits from yourself and allow God to work today? Comment below and tag a friend! 👇

Praise His name today, because God continues to love you, as He will continue to do for all of eternity.

(Tag a friend and SAVE me for later inspo!)

God’s love is always present and always endures, no matter what. No matter what you are facing or what circumstances you may be experiencing, you can be truly confident at that moment that God’s steadfast love is with you.

There is never a wrong time to praise God for who He is and for His steadfast love.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever." Psalm 136

Whatever you are going through today, whether it is an incredibly difficult time in your life, or whether you have been blessed by God’s provision and protection, you can cling to this truth, His love for you will never change. Take a deep breath and give thanks to our Heavenly Father.

Tag a friend for encouragement & let us praise Him together! 👇💙

In the Bible God tells us over and over to “Fear

In the Bible God tells us over and over to “Fear not.” So how do we live with courage? How do we stop fear from creeping in?

(Bookmark me and send me to a friend!)

The best source of comfort and peace when faced with uncertain and scary situations is knowing God is right there with you. He promises to never leave.

For those who believe in God courage and strength comes from trusting Him completely, believing that He will “work all things out for good for those who love him.” (Romans 8:2), and then reminding ourselves of His promises.

"Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." (Isaiah 43:1-2)

Take rest in the eternal and unconditional love of God, turn your heart towards him and when you are afraid pray to Him and He will be there for you. Prayer will draw you closer to Him as you trust Him more and more with your heart. And God will take up the space fear once occupied.

God is greater than everything in this world, He created you and and gave you a powerful and loving spirit. Turn to Him and there will be nothing to fear.

So how does your life change when you accept Jesus

So how does your life change when you accept Jesus as your Lord?

(Bookmark me and share me with a friend for encouragement!)

One of the greatest blessings of choosing to follow Jesus is being able to rest in God’s unconditional love. You no longer need to prove yourself or feel unworthy. God loves you and He is FOR you! You find your identity in who God says you are.

“This I KNOW: God is for me.” Psalm 56:9

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the gift of Holy Spirit is given you. You now have God’s power living in you. The Holy Spirit helps you have faith and compassion. It convicts you of right and wrong and gives you the power to resist temptation and make choices to glorify God.

As you continue to pray to God, spend time in His Word, and turn your heart towards God, the more you will desire to serve God with your life.

You will be filled with such joy and peace. Your heart will be overwhelmed by what God has done for you and you will desire to live for Jesus.

What changed for you and what continues to change for you as you live your life for Jesus?

The trustworthy, faithful, miracle-working God of

The trustworthy, faithful, miracle-working God of scripture is the same God Who holds you in the palm of His hand today and forever.⠀

(Bookmark me and share with a friend)
⠀
Throughout the Word, God promises to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), says He will be with us through all of life’s troubles (Joshua 1:9), assures us He will hear our prayers (Isaiah 65:24) and promises He will lead and guide us (Psalm 32:8, James 1:5) even through the desert seasons. These are promises we can stand on, promises which can enable us to praise God even when life is hard.⠀
⠀
I don’t know what challenges this season may have brought for you but I do know the character of the God Who is with you in the midst of it. I know He has you, I know He loves you, and I know He will grow you through it! Take heart, friend, and keep your eyes fixed on Him.⠀

What is one blessing you're still grateful for today? 🤎

His kindness is immeasurable.

(Save me & Tag a friend to share Kindness today!)

If we were to begin to make a list of all the ways He’s shown us kindness, our list would never end. Sometimes in our lives we forget to notice isn't our human world so full of distractions.

He’s not going to force His kindness upon us. He whispers to your heart often but doesn’t turn off your phone or your TV so you will hear. Because He is kind, He gives us choice. So why not choose kindness today?

Where has He lifted your heart when you were down, where have you being shown compassion when you thought you deserved less? When has another person shown you a kindness? When we are kind to one another we are living as God intended and honoring the compassion and forgiveness shown to us by Jesus.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Comment below and share a reflection on His kindness or set aside some time today and write that list! 💙

Christ chose, set apart and called you as an individual. ⠀

(Save & Bookmark this reminder for later!)⠀
⠀
Your inherent value and purpose have nothing to do with a guy. In fact, His blood on the cross deemed you worthy of eternal love and security before you were born—let alone before ever having the chance to enter a relationship.⠀
⠀
God has a path that is tailored specifically to you—that is right for you. So just like your life has its own purpose, it also has its own timetable—and your timetable isn’t based on someone else’s. What God has planned for you is meant for you and it couldn’t be better.⠀
⠀
So single ladies and former single ladies, where have you felt most purposed by God during this time?⠀

God wants you become the person He made you to be,

God wants you become the person He made you to be, living your best life for the display His love and glory.

(Bookmark me and Share me with your friends)

You are significant, unique and have a special calling on your life
which only you can fulfill.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 NIV

No one person’s calling is more important than another’s. It is important for us to discover and walk in our true God given purpose if we are to know the fullness of God’s freedom and experience His unfathomable love in our lives.

Today, many people are living in spiritual slavery without realizing it. They chase false gods of money, success and personal comfort—only to realize they still have an emptiness that can’t be filled by any of those things. We will never find fulfillment in comparing ourselves with others or trying to be like them or to have and own all of the material things we are told we should possess.

But the best news ever, is that faith in Jesus frees us.

In seeing ourselves through the eyes of God, and turning to him with humility and honesty we can be saved. We can live a life that is full of truth and purpose and we are made spiritually free in our faith.

You have gifts that have been handpicked by God and given to you specifically.

(Bookmark me and TAG a friend for inspiration)

God has a good, pleasing and perfect will for you (Romans 12:2) and part of that will is that each member of the body of Christ, the Church, be given a unique set of special gifts and talents to be used to the glory of God and the good of others.⠀
⠀
We deprive the Church when we try to be like someone else. The fact of the matter is that we need each other (and we need each other’s uniqueness!). The strength of the Body and our witness to the world is what is at stake here.⠀
⠀
The fact of the matter, is that the Body of Christ needs you – just as you are! Our ability to reach the lost world with the love, grace, truth and good news of Christ is dependent upon each member of Christ’s Body working together in the capacity intentionally given to each one.⠀
⠀
So, what do you say, sis? Will you walk in the path God has carved out for you? Will you live according to your unique personality, gifts and talents? I sure hope so! Because we need you.⠀

What is on your mind today, have you taken this to God yet?

(SHARE me and SAVE me for later inspiration!) ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Whatever you are struggling with or setting your mind on today, remember that it's already in God's hands. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it. ⠀⁣

How truly remarkable that Jesus didn’t draw on his superpowers as the Son of God when it came to facing life’s challenges. Instead, when he was burdened or in need of spiritual rest, he would take the time He needed to pray, plugging into the power, perception, and healing that can only be found in God’s presence.

Keep taking care of yourself and growing your relationship with God as we move forward into the New Year. Stay resolute in your faith and close to the heart of your Creator and take the time you need to pray.

You are worth more than you could ever imagine.

(Tag a friend to remind them they are enough!)

Your worth surpasses all the material possessions and false images of the world, because in the eyes of God, you are loved and worthy. You are already enough and it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, drive the latest car or have the newest shoes. Because beyond the noise of this world that is forever asking us to be more, buy more and show we have more... there is the greatness of God's love, that makes us see the truth. And the truth is you are made in God's image, and you are enough.

When we read about the women in the bible. Esther. Ruth. Martha. Mary. These women changed the world forever. And I want to remind you, that inside of you is woman with that same power to change the world.

You are unique. You are worthy of love. You are never too much, and you are always enough. You are a child of God.

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:27

I challenge you to view your self-worth through the eyes of God today! Tag a friend to remind them that they too are so very worthy and loved 👇
