No Fear

“I have your freedom and am holding it for you until you are ready to receive it...FEAR”

This quote struck home to me. It not only struck me, it stung me. It stung me deeply.

Within the same week, a sweet friend of mine told me - “Amy, you are holding back..fear is still driving you from doing your business...”

She was right.

And within that same night, I didn’t want to give fear anymore room in my life and launched my business:

LILY JANE


And now that I’m off and running with it, I see even more how much fear was holding me back...fear of failure, fear of disappointment, fear of loneliness. I still fight a lie that says when I am alone I will be hurt...wow, I love exposing my lies; exposing my darkness...they always show me how ‘shallow’ and untrue they are! And I see more clearly than ever, I am never alone but always in the palms of my Redeemer -and why would I run from that when it is Christ that makes me complete.

No Fear.

LILY JANE

...doing this to raise awareness of freedom for hundreds of more little girls that at one time were silenced but no longer want to live with that fear.

Sweetest blessings from my heart to yours.

God's Promises

Oh, how I love spending time on the beach. There is something about watching the waves come in and out and yet be still as it is happening...reminds me of God and His love for me -  regardless how much is going on - I’m always in the palm of Gods hands and He is holding me...caring for me....protecting me....

No Matter What.

Oh, how I LOVE the promises of God.

I’m Free...Free from condemnation
I’m  Secure....Secure that God works for my good in all circumstances
I’m  Protected...Protected, established, anointed and sealed by God
I’m  Accepted....Accepted as a child of God
I’m  Complete...Complete in God

Perhaps the most precious part of being a child of God, is His promises are for all souls that call Him Abba Father. I love to share the power of Gods promises; most of all to my children.

As I watch my children grow up and I remind them every day of my love for them - It amazes me how much they need to hear it - how much they need to be reminded - in spite them hearing for years and years...I am no different at 33 -

Every day I spend time reading the Bible - not because I have to or it makes me a better person - far from that.
I simply spend time reading God’s promises  everyday because lies so quickly like to settle in and throw false truths at me. I see how powerful thoughts are because from thoughts come actions. And if I want my actions to make an impact of freedom for others, the best place to start for me is to dwell on God's promises...

No Matter What.

God’s promises.

Sweetest blessings from my heart to yours.
