“I am not like what you’ve consumed before. I am not the artificial life you had once force fed yourself, hoping it would fill you up. Hoping it would give you life. I am life. You were designed to be filled up by me. I am all that can sustain you. So let the rest of it go. Stop binging on artificial life. And start savoring all that I have for you. The true life I designed for you to live in. Watch and see all I will do and all I have for you, when you let go of what is empty and grab onto me. I, alone, am all sustaining.” • This morning I had some time and space to sit with the Father. To get away with him in a way I so needed, desperately. Through physical sickness and mental health battles that I’ve been facing the last few weeks I have struggled to make time to be present with Him. So this morning in the stillness I received due to sickness getting the best of me, He was there. So ready and so eager to show me His heart. What I wrote above is something he revealed to me. It’s also what’s penned in my journal in the picture. I share this, not because I’ve achieved anything crazy this morning. I share this because sometimes we need a reminder, an encouragement from one another. You’re not alone, and there’s so much more life to be had. He has so much more life for you, ask Him about it. • And feel free, to DM me with any way I can pray for you. I don’t have anything you don’t have access to in terms of prayer. But partnering together in prayer is powerful.

Much needed time with my sweet angel friend.
Cheers to the women who made me who I am today. Mom, thank you for always doing your best regardless of chaos. Thank you for always taking care of us & our ridiculous “needs.” Thank you for fighting to give us the best life possible. Aunt “Say-Say” thank you for understanding my incessant need to shop and indulging in my girly lifestyle. Also, thank you for always being ready for champagne. Aunt “Chig” thank you for teaching me balance and being fearless in what I believe in. Grandma, thank you for teaching me you can never be overdressed and being my first fashion icon. Abuelita, even though you’re no longer here you have left a lasting impact in my life that consistently changes me for the better. You taught me to be brave and to always surrender to Jesus. Thank you all for teaching me something special that I will cherish forever. Happy Mother’s Day & cheers to powerful women 🥂
When I first started reading this book I would hide the cover, terrified of what someone might think if they knew I felt “uninvited.” As someone who has followed jesus for nearly 10 years, and someone who is training to be a therapist, it is so easy for me to feel a need to be perfect, to be emotionally “healthy” all of the time, and to have no pains. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?! Jesus, through this book, has been and still is empowering me. I am learning to accept myself and honor my experience and needs. I am also learning how to step out of a victim mentality (this can be very hard, especially if you have been a victim, I really struggle here). So here I am posting the cover of a book I use to be ashamed of needing. Because this book has nourished my soul in so many different ways. I am not perfect and I don’t need to be. But I’m also not a victim, I’m a warrior with a past, present, and future. My learning process might not always be pretty, but God is enough to cover that.
I am being made new. A year ago I probably would have been nervous to fall to my knees in worship like this, scared of what people might think or say. And that fear kept me from a lot of breakthrough. Not anymore. I am being made new from the inside out. The grossest and crappiest parts of who I have been are starting to leave because I am learning (clumsily) to step into who God says I am. I am learning to own my true identity and release the shame. It’s not easy. Sometimes it’s really stinking hard. But moments like this, where I get to fall to my knees in awe of my Father and just sit at his feet as he pours his love out on me, far outweigh the growing pains. I am thankful for the way Holy Spirit is transforming me. And I am beyond thankful for my community that encourages me. By no means have I made it. But I am growing, and I think it’s okay to be proud of who our Father is making us to be. Every victory matters. 📸: @emiweezuna
