December 25th comes and it goes marvelously quickly, doesn’t it? We spend weeks (maybe months) planning parties, wrapping gifts, detangling twinkle lights, and then in a matter of twenty-four hours… poof! It is

This messge really touched me! As it is SOOOOO easy to get caught up in the “Why?” of life, it is so important to remember to always look to God and be thankful for not only our blessings, but also our trials. This lesson has been SCREAMING in my brian for months now! Your thoughts on Words of Worship, Even If… takes this to the next level. As we pray about lifes diasters, trails, pain, etc. We often get discouraged because we do not hear the answer we want from God. Sometimes the answer simply is that there isn’t an earthly answer. Ultimately, the only answer to everything is complete faith that God is working everything out for HIS ultimate glory. Our human doubt clouds that blessing sometimes. It is important to remember that there is also a blessing in God’s answer of “Not now or No.” Thank you for the reminder :-)

Here’s a question for you, friends: on a road trip, do you use a GPS, paper map, both, or neither? I’m a GPS lover tried and true, and not just on road trips. I’ve lived in my current city for a little over a year

I don’t know that I know when I first heard the word “freedom”. I’m not even sure I could tell you when I knew what it meant. But somewhere along the way, “freedom” became familiar. It was turned into a banner of

Worth the Wait was a series I wrote here on the blog, around two posts a month on the topic since November. This is the first in a new series called “Words of Worship” you’ll find here a few times a month, too.

Hello, hello, friends! I am so excited to start this new series today! We wrapped up Worth the Wait in June, and I knew almost immediately where I wanted us to go next. Today we are jumping into Words of Worship,

This is gorgeous!!

This really is just so beautiful! I’m wondering, and have been trying to find the answer for so long, was “worth the wait” and the new “words of worship” a series within Illustrated Faith? I’m interested in any information you can provide.
Thank you in advance. I look forward to seeing more posts in this new series!
Sincerely,

Thank you Bailey! I guess the answer was right in front of me the whole time! How silly of me. 😁
I’m excited for your upcoming posts. I have so enjoyed everything you write and seeing your lovely journaling pages.
I appreciate you clarifying things for me. Mystery solved!

For the final entry in the Worth the Wait series, we are landing somewhere I think the Lord always knew we were headed. I don’t know what you are in the wait for or what you have been praying for, but the waiting

It is awesome to see this truth being taught. You hear all the time that God is taking care of things, he will work it out don’t worry it will be ok. Although I agree with all that it really is kind of misleading to baby Christians and when things are not ok they are in disbelief and give up on God. I prayed for my son for over a year about him going down the wrong path in life and asked God to do what ever He needed to get him back on track. I remember so clearly the day that God asked me whatever and I said yes, whatever and then just as clear as day again He said even if that means bringing him home. oh no I said, but after awhile He gave me the faith to trust Him, still in the back of my mind I believed He was just going to change my sons heart to turn back to the right path. I was wrong – He took him home. I never lost my faith and really never even got angry and still trust God today. You are so right, when we trust Him, His peace brings us through the worse of answers. God is in control and work out the best for those who love Him – my son was saved and is now living with Jesus. Still have a hard time with praising Him for that, but I can praise Him for all He did in the midst of the worse time in my life..

I think more often than not when we are waiting, we are waiting to know.
We want to know when something will happen or to know when we will meet someone.
We want to know the outcome of a situation or to know

I needed to hear this today!! I really struggle with waiting and not knowing and I’d never thought about it like this! I may not know how things are going to turn out, but God does- and if I can trust anyone with the knowing it’s Him!! Thanks for giving me a new perspective xx

Wow Bailey! What a great post! Touches my heart. It’s so easy to get all caught up in the holidays and at the same time be glad they’re over because of all the busyness of it all, but now I see it in a different light. Thank you for sharing! Miss you!
