WHY I Give… A Lesson My Grandmother Taught Me

      My grandma always gave a little something to every organization who solicited her (ie: Red Cross, etc..) I’m beyond convinced she based this practice on biblical truth. It always impressed me how she lived her faith like that… It is very easy to say no to a piece of mail!? *********** When…

What does a DREAM twelve years in the making look What does a DREAM twelve years in the making look like? It looks a whole lot like this reel. Congrats 🎉 to our #Stormygirl for achieving her dream of becoming NM Associate Buyer, Handbags. Although “the dream” was simply to be a buyer, God saw fit to place her at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, TX in 2017. We’re grateful for all the milestones she has achieved. And the opportunity she’s been granted. It takes 7-10 years of hard work and sacrifice to achieve buyer status. Stormy achieved it in under eight. But notice, I said twelve years in the making... It took four years of dreaming, planning, and working the plan just to land in a place where her dream could someday become a reality. And it all started with an idea over Christmas Break during her freshman year of college. So it’s not lost on me that we’d given her a handbag for Christmas which is now a brand she buys as a buyer. What a God wink! 🙏🏻🙌🏻 Chase after your dreams, friends. God places them there for His good purpose. We can achieve so much, when we believe. ✨💕 #livinthedream #dreams #believe #mamas #daughters #Godsplan #Godspurpose #inspiration #gratitude #Godwink #Christianencouragement #christianbloggers #faithwritersofinstagram

No doubt, 2024 has been a tumultuous year. So it’s no wonder the world’s aching for the coming of the Baby King, seemingly, has already reached a fever pitch. Have you noticed it? We’re not skipping Thanksgiving, we just need Jesus, now. And who can blame us!? The world’s brokenness has never been more prominently on display than in 2024. And yet, HOPE ✨ beams brightest through the darkness. “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven.” - Matthew 5:14 With Thanksgiving falling late this year, our season of preparedness shrinks. And if we’re not intentional, we’ll miss the opportunity to celebrate the wondrous story of God’s love 🌟 with bended heart altogether. AMJ Field Notes hit inboxes, today!

This is real, perfecting love, y’all! As 2024 wi This is real, perfecting love, y’all! As 2024 winds down with all of its monumental challenges to love in a fallen, imperfect world, my hope and prayer is that all of us can love one another—and in all of life’s hardest places. I love this exchange from the film, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.🌟 “What if the Herdmans ruin it for you?” asks Beth. “We’ll be missing the whole point if we turn them away now” replied Grace. “Jesus was born for the Herdmans as much as He was for you and me.” All of us are part Herdmans in light✨of the cross. I love the film’s divine message. And how accepting God’s challenge to love “the unlovable” in a not-so-lovable world changes the meaning of Christmas for all of us.
