This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to visit one of my favorite places. \u00a0God blessed me with a little bit of surf, awesome friends and amazing weather for November! \u00a0It was like a mini-vacation. \u00a0God promised to transform us through the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:12) and sometimes He does that best when we simply, Be still and know that He is God. \u00a0<\/strong>(Psalm 46:10)\u00a0These were some of the last words that my grandmother ever spoke to me before she passed away about 3 years ago. \u00a0She knew how much I ran around trying to find meaning and never just slowing down to just know<\/em> God. \u00a0Back then, I didn’t fully comprehend those words, and I guess I still haven’t completely because God keeps showing me new ways of understanding this. \u00a0They sound so simple but can teach you so much!<\/p>\n

I flipped open my Bible this weekend and happened to look right at that verse again. \u00a0Even when I think I’m “stilling” myself, God tells me again. haha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
