The best part of making cupcakes... is EATING them!! I've secretly had thoughts about having a cupcake and coffee shop...the bakery side called "Spoon Lickin Good." Because. For real. Every batch of batter gets taste tested for quality (the last spoon, of course.) Favorite Christmas treat?
I stopped tonight to put some air in my tires. A couple of guys ahead of me had stopped to do the same but their car died. They were asking around to the guys at the gas pumps for jumper cables. They asked me and were visibly surprised that I did! I jumped their car and they filled my tires with air. I got the better end of that deal for sure. As single girls, it's smart to know the basics, have tools and be prepared when life surprises you with set backs. Jumper cables, fix a flat, bottled water, a few dollars and a few quarters left in your car can really make all the difference. That and more than an ounce of gas (for all you girls that test your faith before filling up). Tonight I wasn't the one that needed them, but I was still thankful I had then on hand. Savoring Single means you have to do it yourself sometimes. And that's perfectly okay. What about you? What do you keep in your car?
God is so relational. Sometimes it's easy to forget that in all the "be right, do right, don't screw up" pressure. Every one of God's promises are conditional, not by your performance but on relationship. The more deeply connected to Christ you are, the more fully you receive all that He is. That's why we don't have if we don't ask, He wants to hear your voice. ...why we don't see unless we believe, He wants a relationship based on trust. ...why we don't find Him unless we seek Him, because treasure isn't found in the open, but reserved in the caverns of mystery for the delight of the seeker. Casual prayers, corporate worship and cautious trust cannot nurture a deeply intimate connection from which your heart is truly satisfied. If you find yourself unsatisfied, dry or empty. There's nothing wrong with you, you just haven't gone deep enough yet. Keep searching. Intently. Diligently. Wholeheartedly. The way He sought for you. You will find exactly what you were looking for. In Christ alone. Graphic repost: @_tinatatum
#guilty I saw this shirt weeks ago and haven't been able to forget it. If you haven't heard this song - go listen! It's "So will I" and my fave ones are by Upper Room or Amanda Cook. Anyway, we're doing a special version for our Christmas service. All with shepherd's, Wiseman and angels. So fun! Shirt and 📷 @crazycoolthreads Definitely gonna be on my Christmas list. Anyone else like changing the words of songs?
❤❤❤ thanks @notquitesupermoms for sharing! This encompasses so much, but for us single girls, it makes me think about how we approach conversations about our singleness, modesty, abstinence - even virginity, and the guys we date or don't date, etc. It's easy to sound like we're "pointing out a wrong" just by having counter-cultural beliefs on such personal topics. This light that is lovely can come only from a heart that sees how God sees. Every girl is a daughter that He loves brilliantly, died for purposefully, to restore relational intimacy with Him. Anything that separates a girl from knowing Christ and knowing Him this way is simply a broken piece that can be mended by one moment, one prayer, one drop of blood that He already shed, one small price already paid. He loved my broken pieces back together again. He'll do the same for you, and her too. Let your light so shine before her, warm and welcome, from truth with grace. 💛 Shelley
Great post from @kvministries! "Our society seems to dictate that men pursue women and not the other way around. This can create a pretty powerless culture for the girls who want to date and eventually be married but aren’t being pursued. ... I’ve heard countless women tell me how painful of a process it is to work on yourself, be ready to date, and still sit around waiting for your faith-filled Prince Charming to come along. It can result in months, or even years of heartache." Kris outlines 6 practical tips and a good note on online dating. Link in bio or get to his feed, tagged above. 💛 Shelley
