Expensive & Impressive
I love to decorate. Anything. I like decorating a home. I like textiles and clothes to drape on the body. I love personal training and bodybuilding as I see the human form as a great canvas built to perform amazing things. How marvelous it is to sculpt and shape and strengthen it. And I also love to wrap gifts and create a gorgeous bow on top. Presentation does matter. First impressions count enormously. It takes countless second impressions to erase a poor first impression. However, we cannot and should not

Unconventional and Scandalous Love. . .
Unconventional and Scandalous Love. . .
There will always be more people who speak something wrong with you than those who cheer you on in something right. But we don’t live for the applaud OF others. We live to applaud others, notice them for all the wonderful and potential or possibility locked inside of them.
Celebrating others is the essence of the Love sent from above. It’s not our job to fix people, at least it’s not mine. It’s my job to love others and champion all the great within them, healing,

Graced To Advance
“The soul’s craving for peace is its natural yearning for its End, it’s Maker, and it’s God. Since the soul is large enough to contain the infinite God, nothing less than Him can satisfy or contain it.”
Edward P Pusey
Do not be discouraged when you face trials of many kinds. This could be God’s instrument to captivate you. God wants to occupy every recess within. He knows your capacity. He knows what you are capable of. He knows what you can handle.
The heart is big, very big,

Grace that Overcomes.
There are few things in life quite like the glory of friendship.
My entire life I have more negative female experiences than positive ones. Perhaps this isn’t true, it is better to declare that I have had more than my fair share of the extreme in this department.
As a youth I was the “outsider” in my church youth group. At school I had girlfriends I hung around with, had common clubs or classes with, but it wasn’t uncommon for them to behave “uniquely” toward me. If not at first–eventually. But there

What Is This Grace?
It may not be your fault someone strongly dislikes you. But it is your fault what you do with it and how you handle it.
Instead of anything—rest back in the Father’s heart. Unite your soul to His. Allow your Way Maker to breathe possibilities and positive inspirations to your soul.
Relationships can be slippery. You don’t always know how people tick, what speaks to them and what sets them off. You may find out by mistake over and over again. They key to having healthy relationships is

On Loves Heels
Somewhere around the year 2010 a friend came to me and brought me a DVD of a movie she said she felt compelled of the Holy Spirit to tell me to watch. This friend had done this before and the Holy Spirit confirmed it to me. Those who know me know I don’t “read books” or read anything outside the Bible unless directed by the Spirit, etc. It’s a part of my obedience that has lead to the pure flow of His Voice in my gifts.
Less “me”, more him. Less

The Gratitude of Heaven
The Gratitude of Heaven
Has it ever occurred to you that God is thankful? It’s kind of hard to wrap my head around that. But if He desires us to be full of thanksgiving then we must be filled with gratitude. The deeper we go in gratitude the more we become a reflection of Him. If we are reflecting Him, then thankfulness must be in Him. It is an attribute of His heart. With this, my mind naturally begins to think or realize something astounding and powerful…
God is thankful for you.

Well Worth It!
You Have Worth…
Inside the human body we each have a organelle called the Golgi apparatus or Golgi Complex. It is responsible for protein synthesis among other things. It makes cell structure and DNA possible.
You can’t see it.
Most don’t even know they have it. But it is there-securing your DNA every day.
Your worth and identity is etched within your very DNA.
Who you are transcends time and space. God created for you a place that cannot be replaced or erased. Immeasurable Worth! ~Nicole
