“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung 💭 The contrast of this city is why I’ve fallen so in love with it. What I have experienced here on the exterior has pushed me to dig deeper in every aspect of my life. Always making me wonder, question, and challenge myself. It’s easy to get lost in the chaos, yet I’ve found so much of myself in navigating this wild ride. What makes me happy? What gives me purpose? What does success mean to me? Ask yourself these questions and allow it to guide every single decision that you make. It’s your heart that truly matters in the end. If you’re looking for a sign to follow your intuition...stop waiting and let this be it. Go for it. ♥️

      I found this picture somewhere months ago, but I came across it again today.
      
      not living up to expectations, being a people pleaser and constantly comparing myself to others is something I’ve struggled with for a long time. but the more I’ve grown in my relationship with Jesus & learned more about who HE is, I quickly realized who He’s created ME to be.
      
      I don’t want to be known for my looks.
      I don’t want to be known for my outward appearance.
      I don’t want to be known by what I accomplish.
      I don’t want to be known for what I have or don’t have.
      
      I want to be known for how I loved others like Jesus would.
      I want to be known for my heart, not the way I look.
      I want to be known for spreading His name, not my own.
      I want to be known as someone who is always willing to help & serve those in need.
      I want to make HIM known through what I do/say, not myself.
      
      In my years of being a Christ follower, one of the most important things I’ve learned is this: I’m not walking on this earth to be remembered, I’m here to make my Heavenly Father known. I’m here to display His love to whoever I come across. THAT is my goal. not to impress people by my looks & accomplishments, but to change lives by showing His love through my actions & words.

        — here’s a photo dump of the last 48 hours. I cannot begin to explain the amount of love & kindness I’ve experienced throughout these last two days. walking into this trip, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect or why the Lord led me here. all I knew was that I felt called to go. because of this, I decided to take a step of faith that was out of my comfort zone. because I was coming alone & had never met anyone who was on this trip, I began to feel anxious & worried about if it was truly where I was meant to be. but after prayer & time with the Lord, my heart was at peace & I was expectant for Him to move like He promised. no matter how far out of my comfort zone I was, I knew that it would produce growth. & when I walked in those doors, I quickly felt at home. In the matter of minutes, I felt like I’ve known these people for years. how I was loved & welcomed into this trip was an exact reflection of how our Heavenly Father welcomes us with abundant grace & love. when we’re doubting. when we’re anxious. when we’re worried. He welcomes us with open arms & the most loving & gentle touch. just like all of these lovely souls did for me two days ago. It was a peace that couldn’t come from anything or anyone, but the Lord alone. It was the sweetest & most beautiful reminder that the Lord knew I needed this week. I say all of this to REJOICE in the fact that the Lord is faithful to complete His promises & His timing is precisely perfect. although I couldn’t stay for the longest time, I am beyond thankful to have formed genuine & new relationships with these beautiful people. I remember praying for this community. this love. this hope. this breakthrough. this was an answered prayer. being prayed over & having the opportunity to pray over others was the most freeing & beautiful feeling. I am so thankful for these people & their precious hearts. & above all, the Lord moved just as I expected Him to do. because He is just that good. in the past two days, I have just been constantly reminded of how truly beautiful it is to follow the Lord & the incredible opportunity to do it with those you love. I love you all more than life & cannot wait to see you soon. <3

          — this is a reminder that the God who created the stunning artwork in the sky, is the same God who created YOU and calls YOU beautiful.
          
          think of it this way: every time you stare at a sunset & stand in awe of its beauty, remember that the Lord looks at YOU that way. just like the artwork in the sky, we are also His creation... & His creation is beautiful. <3

            — I don’t normally post pictures from a few months back, but this one is from march. & if you know me, you know that I almost never smile with my teeth in pictures. it sounds silly, but it’s just something I’ve always been too insecure to do. I’ve never loved my smile. BUT for some reason, I just love this photo. not because I think I look presentable at all, but just because my smile is so genuine & real. I usually tend to not like these kinds of pictures of me or even think about posting them, but it just really made me happy looking at this photo. so here’s a random picture of me smiling. that’s all. #jesusjoy

              — STOP AND READ THIS!!

              to whoever is reading this: I may not know you personally or even at all... but what I do know is that you’ve probably struggled with something before... maybe you have felt unloved or unappreciated by someone who you genuinely care about. maybe you’ve been disappointed in someone because they didn’t return the love you poured into them. maybe you’ve felt this void in your heart/life because of it. it’s exhausting. It’s hard. It’s not a great feeling... BUT you’re not alone. I’ve been there. many people have.
              
              what’s AMAZING is that we serve a God who is so in love with you... yes, YOU. no matter how far you’ve ran from Him, no matter what you’ve done, no matter how much you’ve tried to block Him out of your life, HE STILL LOVES YOU THE SAME. He will never love you any less. how reassuring is that? how comforting is that? nothing you can think of will ever change His mind about loving you. He has never “second guessed” His love for you.
              
              although we might not feel loved by someone on this earth/around us, we have a Heavenly Father who’s love is IMPOSSIBLE to outrun. His love ALONE fulfills the void in your heart more than any other love ever will.
              
              when we find rest in His love, we won’t constantly feel the need to search for it from others. I don’t know about you, but that puts rest to my anxious heart and comforts me more than any earthly love ever could.

                This sea Lion meets and has a nap with her rescuers everyday.

                Last year, a Galapagos sea lion named Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to make it to this hotel, where animal advocates nursed her back to health for 3 months. After she was fully healed, she was released back into the wild. But every day, she returns to rest with the humans who rescued her, after being out at sea all day. She is now pregnant and expecting within a month

                      — something on my heart: I came across a tiktok the other day ( from @lyndaibrock ) that honestly blew my mind. it was about something that I struggle with on a daily basis. the topic was “the waiting season”. the focus of the video was not only being in the midst of a waiting season, but how we as Christians, act & respond while we’re “waiting”. she goes on to say something around these lines -
                      
                      “are we waiting on the Lord, complaining & constantly asking Him to do things for us? are we being selfish & expecting God to do certain things in our lives & being disappointed if He doesn’t necessarily do it “our way” or the “way we planned it out to be”?
                      OR
                      “are we WAITING on the Lord as a server waits on a table... waiting on the Lord & asking Him what WE can do for HIM in this season? asking what WE can do to grow His kingdom & lead lives to Him in the midst of this unknown season? asking Him how we can glorify HIM with our words & actions each day?
                      
                      -> what I’m learning in this season: Instead of asking what He can do for me, I’m working on being in a constant state of surrender & daily positioning my heart to become a servant in all areas of my life... not just certain areas that are easy to lay at His feet.
                      
                      just something to think about. how are we waiting??
                      
                      it’s not very often that a tiktok catches my eye or makes me truly think about the season of my life that I’m in. it’s awesome to me that the Lord used an app that the world glorifies & puts on a pedestal before Him, for GOOD. He’s just that good.

                        Two years ago my hair started falling out. It started slow, but progressed to chunks coming out and my hairline receding. A year and a half ago @jcomeau.29 did my hair for the last time because he pulled a hairball out of his sink, and that made me realize something was seriously wrong. I went to the doctors and got diagnosed with severe anemia. I was relieved to know that I wasn’t dying or dealing with male pattern baldness...but I still only had 6 hairs left on my head. Thus began the long journey of deep insecurity about my lack of hair (that I don’t think many people even noticed), hairballs everywhere, many clogged drains, hair in my food, a phase of not brushing my hair because I was scared....etc. My hair finally started really coming back 8 months ago and got to the point where it was halfway down my back. Today I got my hair done and I feel like myself again. Thank you @jcomeau29hair 🖤💜🖤 @oliviamadeleinewitt ...read more
