Asking someone "what is beauty?" seems like an easily answerable question. Most people probably go to the physical characteristics they find attractive, others may take about a person's personality, they're character traits, etc... What do we think is beauty within ourselves? When you really have to answer that question for yourself you may be surprised at the process and what you thought you thought beauty was. I want to warn you before you continue reading that I am going to be real, raw and transparent in this blog, so, continue on at your own risk :) My journey in defining my own beauty and my own perspective on beauty started a little more than two years ago. First, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and like anyone else, they are words you never think you'll hear and then they become scary words. Many thoughts race through your mind...what's next, what will I have to endure, how bad will it really be, etc...But nothing can prepare ...
Jesus is not a Peacekeeper but yet the bible calls Him the "Prince of Peace". Truthfully, He was offensively bold, just ask the Pharisees and Sadducees. He confronted things. He addressed wrong mindsets AND wrong actions. He also called out the judgmental people who were quick to point fingers at others and refusing to look at themselves. Jesus looked for and desired repentance and holiness from His followers. He went straight for the heart. Jesus never told anyone things that were out of line were "ok." Jesus himself said in Matthew 10:34-36 "Do no suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth, I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

In other words, when we begin to walk in and talk in the truth of Jesus it invites conflict into our closest rel...
The Lord is desiring to remind us today that He can do it, He will do it and He is actually now doing it. When we are unable to make something happen, when we are unable to produce something, when we are unable to "fix" something or cause something to be birthed is when we are the most vulnerable and at the same time the most open for God to move in our lives. Ephesians 3:20 tells us "NOW glory be to God, who by His mighty power at work within us is able to do FAR more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of -- infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes." (emphasis added is mine) How exciting when we break that down and at the same time take Ephesians 3:20 at face value. God can do what we need Him to do, He is willing to do what we need Him to do and He is MORE THAN ABLE to do what we need Him to do. This is where we must place our trust and hope! That God is able to do FAR MORE abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, pray f...
