• No reward or given recognition could ever overcome the initial pact of family.
With the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, I am distressed by the ideology of God’s understanding, and the overall lack of clarity of the matter at hand. But the truth is we may never have clarity about the cycle of life, because the one who developed our very breath obtains an understanding of life that no man shall ever posses until we meet the great orchestrator ourselves. But when I choose to apply God’s perspective, I see a man that was there for his daughter. A man that put his family first. A man that was his daughter’s biggest cheerleader. A man that humbly denied himself in order to acknowledge and support his daughters dreams and aspirations. Could it have possibly been any better than that? Our fleshly eyes see a father and daughter defeated by death, but may we utilize our spiritual eyes to see a father and daughter that played a great game. God bless you Kobe for living your life as an example, even until your final quarter. @ Los Angeles, California

• The devil did not want us here. he did not want us to grow, nor did he want us to be informed or be properly educated, because he knew that once we were spiritually enlightened, his spite would no longer leave a sting nor would his lies linger in our hearts.🖤
The enemy is crafty at recycling our excitement and producing expectations out of it, and he is a master at using the same expectations to both hinder and distort our reality. But when you think about the overall capabilities of the enemy, they are nearly anything but a mirage composed out of our own lack of self-awareness, lack of confidence, and lack of theological knowledge.💭
We have to be willing to ask ourselves, “How far would we go in order to receive the truth?” And the question is not necessarily alluding to a certain region, but more so to a stance; a mental rearrangement. For the longing for wisdom & knowledge and attitude & perspective does not begin with a specific position, but with a radical placement.
“For where two or three gather together in my name, there I AM with them.” Matthew18:20📖
Just as art is not bound nor defined by its gallery, neither is the living Son of God bound to a specific building or estate. But rather in solace with aid by community; family. Because when you simply simplify the nomenclature of the truth. HE has robbed the grave, and has decided to forever make hospitality within our hearts.
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew28:18-20📖
Thank you Israel, for removing the scales from my eyes, and allowing me to gaze upon the theological and factorial truth, that our God in fact, is real.🇮🇱
———————————————
Thank you so much and for allowing me to experience the beautiful Holy Land, and for equipping me with truth, peace, and perspective. And I’m so blessed that I got to experience it all with my family.✨ @ Israel

• What would you do if He called you to walk upon the waters?
Would you focus more on the scale of the waves, or the capacity of your faith? 💭
Trusting God can be frightening at times. There are many instances in which He commands us to take steps of faith onto the most deepest pools of fear, but when doing so we often put more emphasis on the waves of anxiety rather than the voice of peace. We forget that we have the authority to call upon the Lord to calm the winds and command the storms to be still.🗣
“He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.” Matthew8:26📖
Trust in the Lord with all your heart within His ability to calm the storms within your life. Allow Him to be the wind within your sails, and the compass that guides you to the other side. Allow Him to guide your steps, and praise Him as your march across the waters.🌊

• “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there”, and it will move.” Matthew 17:20📖
In our pop Christian culture, we subconsciously associate size with dominance. However under the kingship of Christ, it is not the numerical scale of degree of said faith, but the presence of it.📐
I understand that there are, and will be many instances in which our seeds might come across as too small, benign, and unnoticed by God, but I promise when I tell you that He sees it, and that He also sees the planter; you. There is no faith too small for Him not to acknowledge. So proudly plant your seed of faith, allow Him to be the water that nurtures it, and watch it move mountains.⛰

• I’m not usually one to invite expectation into a feast with perspective, however I am beyond expectantly eager to see the Lord’s word take breath in this place, and to birth within me a new wind; a new perspective.🔎
“The Word had become flesh, and made his dwelling among us. We have seen pieces of his glory, the glory of the one true Son, who had come from the Father, full of grace and truth”. John1:14📖
With all of the past and present political dispute and spiritual tension surrounding this land, it’s so hard to deny its significance. The tension proves the evidence of the word and the justification of faith; a faith worth fighting for. Embark with me on this journey of faith. Pray with me during this battle for belief. You are with me here through Him. Welcome to the Holy Land. Welcome to Israel.🌿 @ Tiberias, Israel

• This is the decade of skill, ability, and knowledge; the decade of coherency between the gospel, self, and Jesus. The decade of the Bible, scripture, and theological accuracy. The decade of worship, servant-hood, and culmination. 2020 WILL be a decade of Transition & Reformation, Grace & Love, and Attitude & Perspective!📖
It is our responsibility to acquire intimacy with God; to establish & re-establish a kindred friendship with the Father, and continue to embark on the march of meticulous consistency and hunger. It is our obligation to march with eagerness. Not so that we may be recognized for our endurance, but for our obedience. And the march starts simply with a step of faith, followed by a step of obedience. 👣
You don’t have to be in perfect conditional form to begin this march, nor a certain level of experience or age. “Don’t let anyone look down on you because of your age, but instead set an example for believers within your speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Until I return, devote your time on this Earth to the public reading of scripture, preaching, and teaching. And do not neglect your gifts and talents, which were given to you through prophecy when the body of elders laid there hands on you.” 1Tim4:12-15.
The march is born out of urgency, and is continued out by faith and intimacy alone. It is fueled by the Bible and His word alone, and is monitored by love and devotion alone.
This is the decade of the march!
March on! March on!✌🏾⛰

• Good morning family!! I am so beyond blessed to share with you that my amazing friend Georgia Brown has just released episode 2 of her incredible podcast, “Faith and Friends”!🙌🏾
Georgia uses her anointed gifts of speaking and music to speak life and encouragement over our generation. Georgia is so kind, crazy talented, extremely humble, loves so well, is always eager to serve, and most importantly, honors and obeys to the Lord.
Episode 2 is titled “What’s Your Why?” Here, we get to talk about not only how we met each other, but how our faith plays a significant role throughout our walk in college, and how our “why” effects our “what”. She even lets me share my obsession for journaling✍🏽💭
Georgia Brown is an absolute ray of sunshine and you DO NOT want to miss her incredible words on “Faith and Friends”! You will not be disappointed!☀️✌🏾

• Yesterday I went on a little adventure and explored a new area I’ve never been to, and had the opportunity to meditate, pray, and just rest within His beauty.
Often times we become so agitated with God when He rejects our requests to be brought to new lands, while we fail to be good stewards of the soil He has already blessed us with.
Good seeds in bad soil will not take root, in the same way bad seeds in good soil will not thrive.
We must plant our good seeds in good soil and have faith within the process, and in the same way have patience within the season in which we are in, for seasons are not regulated off of our conveniency.
God, may you bless our soil, and make of us good stewards of your land. 🌲🌲🌲
“Well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over little, I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.”
Matthew 25:21🌿

• As I reflect on my first semester of college, I can’t help but acknowledge how God has been present within every situation; all the way from the most joyful of moments, to the most darkest depths. He has been the light that has guided me through the valley, and He has been the anchor that has kept me planted while the elements tried to dig up my roots. He is my compass, He is my foundation, and He will forever be the King of my heart.

I am so very thankful for the amazing people He has brought into my life; people that resemble Him, people that represent the kingdom and all that heaven stands for. I am thankful for their beautiful hearts and minds, but I am even more thankful for their obedience, their servant hood, and most importantly, their humbleness.

As we embark into this new season, let us not forget all that God has done for us, but let us be expectant of all of His promises. Let us be thankful for this season, but let us also embrace the sweet nectar of the next to come. Let us not try to recreate our current season, but let us humbly walk into the next one with open hands and hungry hearts. Forever and always. Amen. @ Nashville, Tennessee

• Like the wind, His grace is abundant. Like the waters, His love is engulfing. Like the skies, His peace is vast and limitless. And like the soil, His promises are rich and fertile. For everything that God is, nature resembles. For everything that God does, nature responds.

How are we to respond to such a creator, and how might we show our gratitude to such a perfect orchestrator?

God gifted us with nature as the perfect example of true worship; for everything that He is, nature is. And just as nature responds, we are to imitate in the same childlike manor. For if everything exists to lift Him high, so shall we.

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.” 2 Peter 3:18
