Who Are You Living For?

This article was originally written in September of 2015 for Get. Give. Grow., a website that discusses the fundamentals of business and everyday life with God . Thank you for reading!

“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:10)

It’s human nature to criticize and to be criticized. Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it’s right, but it doesn’t have to affect you either. I’ve had judgmental people in my life ever since I can remember, but it’s only recently that I’ve realized the major impact it’s had on me. I figured something needed to be done.

I used to pride myself on being the “good girl” and a rule follower. It wasn’t often that you could catch me in a lie or find me doing something wrong because I was adamant about doing things God’s way. If I did falter or I didn’t receive the approval of man, it really shook me to my core and chiseled away at my self-esteem. I thought this was just good old fashioned conviction and a sign that I needed to do better. Continue reading “Who Are You Living For?” →

Them Good Old Days

This article was originally written in December of 2013 for my personal blog. Thank you for reading!

 

People often say phrases like, “Those were the good old days.” or “They just don’t make them like they used to.” or “No one produces good music anymore.” I find this HIGHLY generalized and untrue. This way of thinking is supposed to give you warm gushy feelings about sock hops and soda shops, but to me it’s very depressing to think that the world is going in a downward spiral. What’s the use of living when life is getting worse?

Every once in a while, my husband and I will go to an unpopulated scenic spot to enjoy a little peace and quiet you don’t normally get in the city. It’s refreshing to look into the horizon and catch a glimpse of perfection. God’s earth. A great big thing He created for us to enjoy. Just because global warming, recession, and blah blah blah is in full effect, that doesn’t mean we aren’t supposed to appreciate what we still have. Continue reading “Them Good Old Days” →

Puppy Love

This article was originally written in November of 2010 for my personal blog. Thank you for reading!

Hello again. Thank you for stopping by. My, you sure look nice! What are you all dressed up for? You didn’t know I had a camera mounted in your room, did you? Oh shucks, calm down. I can’t see anything but the words I’m typing on this page.

Onto business…

I’m not one to really window shop. If I can’t afford it, I don’t want to spend my time wishing I had it and walk away sad that I don’t. I only go to the store if I’m in need of something, but I DO have one exception. Puppies! Just like children, it will be years before I have a little doggy of my own. I’ve already set my mind on a Pug. I want one just like the “Men in Black” costar with the smooth tan fur, deepset black face, and swirly pig tail. I lovingly call them “smashed face dogs” since it looks as though they’ve run into a wall at full speed. Continue reading “Puppy Love” →

Promo Tuesday with Love Lezlie

Promo Tuesdays is where we highlight our brothers and sisters who are moving through ministry and small business while spreading the gospel as the Lord leads. Please support them by checking out their website and social media.

A mutual friend introduced me to my now dear friend Lezlie, founder of Love Lezlie. It’s no wonder we clicked because we’re both in the fashion and entertainment industry aspiring to live a lifestyle that promotes love. She’s been blogging for several years on her career, her walk with God, choosing a vegan lifestyle, spiritual growth, marriage, ethnicity, etc. and the impact her words have is amazing. I’ve even had the opportunity to be featured on her site. There aren’t many people I know who live a completely transparent and unashamed gospel-driven life and are willing to share it on a public platform. I hope you’re as impacted by her journey as I am.

What started out as a sketch has grown into an entire series. LoveRoboughty was a character designed by my friend Daniel in hopes to spread the message of love. (You know we’re all about that here at L’amour in Christ!) We have a few LoveRoboughty art pieces hanging in our home and we love the smile it brings to people’s faces when they see them.

Free Falling

This article was originally written in February of 2012 for Our Witness, a website that highlights personal testimonies of Christians all over the world. Thank you for reading!

When most people think of Valentine’s Day, they think of holding hands with their somebody or avoiding the public due to the fact they don’t have a somebody. However, the greatest love story I’ve ever known is the relationship between God and man. A great thing happened to me when I was single, living in Hawaii, and “oh-so-not” looking for romance. I experienced the love of God and of friendship which both fill a void that causes many hearts to ache.

The following is a myspace blog post I wrote over three years ago about that very thing, and it is as relevant now as it was on July 7th, 2008. To give you some backstory, I’ll let you in on a little tradition that happens in Hawaii for people of all ages. At Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu, there is a VERY massive rock that beach goers take turns climbing and leaping from all day and this was my chance to do the same. It didn’t go quite as planned, but it is a very memorable moment in my walk with God nonetheless. Continue reading “Free Falling” →
