i have decided NOT to go completely hiatus on the blogging world… but i am going to just post random quotes or videos or things that i like when i find them. i just can’t NOT write and share my heart with people.
this is a quote from leslie ludy’s website “set apart girl”…she wrote one of my favorite books, “set apart femininity.” she’s a beautiful writer with a heart 100% sold out to the Lord. ladies if you get a chance, you should read her books. all of them are really great. and her hubby, eric ludy, writes really awesome books for guys. they’ve come together and written a few as well. so check them out if you get a chance or need a good read!
Noble, breathtaking, captivating, Christ-centered femininity is truly a sight to behold. It’s a beauty that does not draw attention to the woman, but to Jesus Christ. It’s a radiance that is not dependent upon age, circumstance, or physical enhancements. It’s a loveliness that flows from deep within – the refreshing beauty of Heaven, of a life transformed from the inside out by Jesus Christ.
i love this. it’s what i want to be, what i am striving for. may we as women seeking Christ, not buy into the lies of others and the lies of the enemy. our identity is found in Christ and Him alone. i am guilty of finding my identity in others opinions and the through the lies of satan. may we have confidence in who we are, who we were made to be. may we have hope that we are far more valuable than the world tells us that we are. that we are found blameless and flawless to our God; who loves our loud laughs, our free spirits, our quirks, our ridiculousness, our outgoing personalities.. and whatever qualities we individually possess. we are who He made us. that will always be enough. may we know that we are NEVER damaged goods. that what was once lost can ALWAYS be restored.
psalm 62:1-2 says, “my soul finds rest in God alone. my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Fortress. i will NOT be shaken.”
5-8 says, “find rest o my soul, in God alone. my hope comes from Him. He alone is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my fortress. i will NOT be shaken. my salvation and my honor depend on God. He is my Refuge. trust in Him at all times; pour out your hearts to Him. for God is our Refuge.”
i don’t know why i felt like writing today… but i hope this hits home to someone!
