THE SEASONS EP IS OUT IN THE WORLD!!!!

After two years and nine months of on and off recording, dreams to make a worship album I've had since I was a little girl have finally come true.  I just released my first EP called Seasons on September 10, 2018, and am so in awe of God.  If you haven't already, you can follow [...]

On this Valentine’s Day, I honestly just want to say how much I love the people I’ve met at @upperroomfrisco. Haha. You’re the family I never asked for, but God so graciously gave to me. Now, I can’t imagine life without you! Haha. I love you and I choose you. :) Thank you. . Featuring: Cadeau, Sarah, Cammie, and my first coffee date at @summermoonfrisco, celebrating Rosh Hashanah (and the release of my first EP!!!!) at Cammie’s, our Saturday morning prayer set fam and Ron’s first selfie (hahahaha), camping at Broken Bow, Christmas parties, prayer sets, that one night everyone wanted to go get Lebanese food, spontaneous McDonalds ice cream, and helping Cammie move. :) What a sweet, sweet year it has been.
🎉🎉🎉🎉Today is the two year anniversary of Light-Speaks.com! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 . Thank you for reading all this time, and here’s praying that what God speaks to me still speaks to you! ☺️🙌🏻 . New blog link in bio - When Things Go “Wrong”: Whether you’ve gone through huge trials recently or unmet expectations of how you thought your life would be at this point have made you feel like things are going “wrong”...what if we only think that based on our shortsighted vision of what we thought “right” would be? . “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” - Romans 8:28 . The unexpected to us is not unexpected to God, and He has already factored His redemption into our every disappointment. Click that link, and subscribe to light-speaks.com if that speaks to you. 😉🙏🏻🎉 . #newblog #whenthingsgowrong #disappointment #restoration #healing #truth #nomorediscouragement #onlyhope #christianblogger #lightspeaks . 📷: @lydsmarie in Glasgow, Scotland Mar 16, 2017 (her bday)
A clip from my first Tuesday Prayer Set of 2019 at @upperroomfrisco, which I had the honor of leading for @journeyglo this week, and will also be leading next week. A few of the focuses of the night that brought us to this place: . “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?...For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” - Psalm‬ ‭139:7, 13‬ . “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.” - Psalm‬ ‭136:1‬ . “May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!” - Ephesians‬ 3:17-19 . This team is amazing (@mjsidler and @tori_sid on prayer, Brooke Washington on keys), this truth is amazing, @lydsmarie is amazing for surprise recording this (😭🙏🏻❤️), and I am now making Ephesians 3:19 my prayer for myself and my family this year (turns out it was my mom’s bible reading for today). :) Come next Tuesday 6-8?
Well...you finally picked up and moved to Nashville. Your favorite place. :) I feel like we’ve grown up together since 2007 in the Lord and in who we are as people - learning guitar together, leading worship and worshiping the Lord together, {attempting} writing songs together, and finally recording albums together. You were the one I prayed for when I asked God for a best friend in 9th grade, and I am so happy to now get to see you following the Lord’s invitation to put down roots in a place that you love as an adult (without college being a factor in your decision 😉). I know that He has so much more for you than you (or I) can even imagine there and elsewhere, and I am so so proud of you. Here’s to new beginnings and me coming over to see you again very soon. :) Now go get settled. Love you. #texasmissesyou #texanforever #neverforgetit #lotsofdadjokes #gomakemusic #befruitfulandmultiply #ellerosetunesdropping2019 ☺️😘❤️
On Monday, God began speaking to me about thanking Him for pain (which we all have in some form) because it only lasts so long, but in it, He reveals His love in a deeper way that we never would have known without it, and that lasts forever. He’s truly doing so much more in us than our eyes can see. I began to feel His peace and joy in thanking Him and the weight of having to understand being lifted off of me. On Wednesday, I read Daniel 1-3 in my One Year Bible, and was deeply moved by the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fourth man in the fire - how God did not keep them from the fire, but He loved them enough to meet them in it and to lead them out without harm. They were not burned, their hair was not singed, and they didn’t even have the smell of fire on them (they trusted in Him and were not put to shame)! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Next thing I know, I turn on the Tuesday @upperroomdallas set a day late to discover @joelfig, @freelandmiller, and the team encountering the Lord about THIS VERY THING - both this lesson and this specific passage combined! 😭🙌🏻 . So, what’s the best part of this story to me? The truth is amazing, my church is amazing, but what blows my mind the most is the fact that God, the Creator of the Universe, loves to speak to me personally. I could have watched this prayer set by itself and still have been deeply blessed by it, but it meant so much more to me that God was already speaking these things to me in my own quiet times with Him because He loves me so much...this was just confirmation! 😭 I want to encourage you - don’t miss out on that one-on-one time with the Lord in His Presence and in His Word. Words from men will encourage and inspire you, but words from God will give you life. ❤️🔥📖 Let Him speak to you tonight.
As I’m getting ready for Thanksgiving, I’m becoming increasingly thankful for not only what I already have, but for the promises of God for my future {in advance}. I’m thankful that God is faithful. I’m thankful that He finishes what He starts. I’m thankful that He cannot be mocked - when you sow good seeds, you’re gonna reap good seeds, and that’s a guarantee. I’m thankful that He honors faithfulness and that those who honor Him and trust in Him will not be put to shame. . Every once in a while I laugh with tears streaming down my face because I’m anticipating His goodness to me and praising Him for it. I know because I’ve already seen so much of it...and you’re going to see it too. Thankful in advance because He lives outside of time and His promises are already fulfilled. ❤️ . “O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, even purposes planned of old [and fulfilled] in faithfulness and truth.” - ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25:1‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ . 📷: @rosieedelacruz . #faithful #thankful #grateful #joyful #justfullingeneral #itsarap #thanksgiving
