“Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it—because it does. Give yourselves to the gifts God gives you. Most of all, try to proclaim his truth.” -1 Corinthians 14:1, The Message
I stumbled upon this verse during my morning quiet time on my birthday and it’s been resting on my heart ever since. I feel like it’s an answer to prayer, as it completely resonates with me, encapsulating exactly what I want more of in this year to come, and in life in general:
More Jesus + More Community = A Life of Love.
More writing + More photography + More running = Giving myself to the gifts He’s given me.
Sharing more of His story with the world around me = Proclaiming His truth.
These are the things that make me come alive in Him and allow me to live the good life He has called me to. These are things I am committed to doing and growing in moving forward. I’m excited to see where He’ll lead and what He’ll do as I give these dreams and desires over to Him.

“To risk is to willingly place your life in the hand of an unseen God and an unknown future, then to watch Him come through. He starts to get real when you live like that.” -Jennie Allen, Anything
