Merry Christmas from Texas!!!! 🎄thankful for the gift of peace that is Jesus Christ. Thankful for the people in my life that encourage me to grow and live loved. What a beautiful Christmas season it has been and continues to be💛
I was watching one of my favorite movies today, War Room, and I heard this phrase spoken at the beginning: “victories don’t come by accident.” 💥 This is what I learned: Victory in my life takes perseverance. It takes intentional steps toward growth and stepping out of my comfort zone. You don’t win by sitting around waiting for life to happen. You win by pursuing Jesus with everything and loving people along the way. Victory comes with patience; enduring the hard times and celebrating the good. Never giving up. That’s the type of victory I want to pursue. #latenightthoughts #thehonestpursuit #livehonest #warroom

#fbf to our family trip to the beautiful snow-covered mountains of Colorado. As a Texas girl, I don’t get to see much snow, or even any land higher than a hill. Colorado reminds me of God’s flawless and beautiful design of nature and the world around me. This place is a breath of fresh air and quiets the anxiousness of my soul. Thankful for snow-covered mountains, my family, and the gift of breathing today 🕊
“For we walk by faith not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 👣 Much easier said than done sometimes— believing and placing hope in something I can’t see. Yet just as my face feels the wind, I know that God is here. The Great I Am. There has to be more to this life than just what I can see and touch. It’s no coincidence that we were born and experience the life we each live. Have you ever thought about the incredible miracle of your life? We are a each created for a purpose by a purposeful Creator. Thankful for the gift of faith today. 🌿
Currently taking a break from working out and dreaming about chocolate. 🍫 Milk, dark, white, mint, all of it!! Y’all I’m trying to be more self-disciplined this semester so I am going to try to work out 3 days a week. Today is day 1 and I’m struggling. But I’m not gonna quit!! (Ok gotta get back to my jumping jacks now.) 😷 what motivates you when your work out?? Need some advice please!
