[90] Meditation Monday: John 15:12-13 - Love one another + Honoring our US military on Memorial Day

 

 

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13

[89] But how do I actually cultivate a relationship with God? - Faith Friday

The answer lies in Matthew 22:34-40

Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

 

Love God. Love People.

 

Also:

• Have a willing and teachable heart (Proverbs 8:32-36)
• Believe you are forgiven
• Fast (from social media, food, music, gossip, shopping - anything that creates noise or turns your attention from God)

 

It’s hard to get in shape spiritually when you only work out on Sunday’s.

[87] Why should I grow deeper in my relationship with God? - Faith Friday

• We all have a God-shaped hole in our hearts
• We are called to share the good news: the Great Commission tells us to make disciples of all nations
• We have to know what we believe, we can't take other people's word for it, we get a personal relationship with God to know His character
• We will learn that God loves us SO much, no matter where we've been, what we've done or what's been done to us

 

Tune in next week for HOW to cultivate a deeper relationship with our Good Father!

[83] Meditation Monday: Colossians 2:6-7 - Continue to be rooted and built up in Christ, overflow with thankfulness

[82] Living in full abandonment with God, with Heidi Bramm of Covered Beloved Podcast - Testimony Tuesday

Today's testimony with Heidi Bramm was absolutely beautiful. I loved hearing about Heidi's family and her relationship with Jesus. Heidi has a sweet and gentle spirit that just captivated me and I am so grateful for the work she is doing in the world! 

 

She also left me with a beautiful message at the end that took my breath away 🥺🥰💗

 

Heidi Bramm is the Host of the Covered Beloved Podcast. She is a Jesus lover, wife, and mom of four girls from Northern WI. She is married to her high-school sweetheart Ben and they have been together for 23 years. Heidi is the host of the Covered Beloved podcast where her mission is to infuse faith-based truths, transformational thinking, and holistic living into your motherhood journey so you can stop going through the motions and live a more fulfilled life!

 

Heidi specializes in empowering modern Christian moms to shift their mindset, biblical homemaking and healing journeys to align with the Kingdom of God. She also loves teaching people how to incorporate essential oils as a first line of defense for health in their home.

 

Heidi wants women to create true change for themselves and for Jesus by creating a kingdom-first mentality. Christ has given us the power to overcome the identity struggles, the mom guilt, and the self-doubt that says we’re not enough, and instead infuse the supernatural and Spirit-led inspiration into our lives so we can simply and effectively create a legacy and equip our children to become the salt and light of the earth.

 

She believes that we are destined to prosper in all things and be in health, just as our soul prospers. That when God created the earth he didn’t leave us without solutions. That we were created to be healthy and whole and walk in the freedom gifted to us through the finished work of the cross. And that God has covered each and every one of us as mothers with his protection, grace, and wisdom on how to live our most healthy, happy, and joyful lives.

 

Here's the book Heidi mentioned:
