Limitless

Do you believe that God created the Universe?

Do you believe that God created you?

Do you believe that all God had to do was speak, and things
were brought into existence?

Do you believe God is holding the entire universe in its
exact place right now?

Do you believe He controls light and darkness?

If you answered yes to every one of those questions, I have
one more question to ask you…

Do you believe that this seemingly impossible, incredibly
huge thing that you’re praying for right now God can take care of?

If you’re going through anything that seems huge and are
feeling pretty overwhelmed by it, I’m pretty sure that hit you in the face just
about as hard as it hit me.

“The Lord merely
spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars
were born. He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast
reservoirs. Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of
him. For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.” Psalms 33:6-9

I don’t know about you, but reading that really makes me
stand in awe of Him. It also really puts my seemingly huge needs into
perspective. God is limitless. There is nothing that is beyond His reach and
there is nothing He cannot do. If God hung every star in its rightful place in
the sky, what makes me think He can’t answer my huge little request?

My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and we couldn’t
be more excited! We were overjoyed at the news and overflowing with blessings.
But the closer we get to my due date, the more overwhelmed I become. I know
that God wants me to take off from work and stay home with my little one, but I
have no paid maternity leave. There is no way we can survive on one income, and
I have no idea where the money is going to come from. There are some pretty big
transitions God is laying on our hearts too, but there is so much unknown. I
just know what’s on my heart and what God is telling me to do. Yet, I look at
this in fear and think there’s no way it’s possible.

Rewind.

Do I believe God created the universe? Yes. Do I believe
that God created me? Yes. Do I believe that all God had to do was speak, and
things were brought into existence? Yes. Then why would I not believe that God
could cover maternity leave? Or provide and direct us in the midst of
transition? Seems pretty silly to me.

God is limitless. There is nothing that His hand cannot
stretch to.

Are you believing for something big from God? Does it seem
impossible that God could even make it happen? I challenge you to remember the
limitless God we serve. Trust in Him and He will not let you down.
P.S I’m linking up with Mercy Ink & Heart & Home. I recently stumbled upon Lauren’s blog and I absolutely love it. You have to check it out!

    Alessandra, reading this post brings me back to when I was also stuck in the almost the same position…I wanted to be a stay at home mom and we didn't know how to make it work on one income. Here I am staying home with the boys and He provided for me every step of the way. I will be remembering you in prayer about this situation.

    LOVE this. Literally almost made me tear up. to make a long story short, I have this very harsh math professor this year and a lot of us are doing terribly. I cannot afford a bad grade because I am on scholarship. It looks so impossible now, but I have a peace that God is going to show me favor, that His strong hand is on my life. This blog was an amazing reminder to me that He truly is limitless, that He is not limited by anything. Hes bigger! Thanks:)

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
