Unfiltered


My faith became my own when we moved down to NC.

I saw doors open and people come into my life that I couldn't explain.

I felt moved by God and placed for a purpose.

We were encouraged and loved by an amazing community of friends.



Four years ago, I was different. I had both sides. On Sunday's I was a Jesus follower, the rest of the week, I did my own thing. Life was good, or so I though.



Now that I have experienced love like never before, I don't want to go back.

I don't want to have relationships that don't talk about matters of the heart. I want to know my friends and to love them unconditionally, without judgement or jealousy.

I want to love my husband and serve him first. I don't want to listen to the world, it tells me "if marriage gets hard, get out". I want to honor my commitment and be the wife he deserves.

I want to be a giver. I don't want to hold onto things that I don't need, or buy to much. I want a thankful heart, if you need something I want to be able to help.



I want to live life unfiltered. I want you to know who I am.

I'm a Jesus follower, that doesn't mean I don't mess up, but I am forgiven.

I like wine.

It's hard for me to give God control of my life, but he always blesses me with goodness, I wish I would learn to surrender sooner.
I love to teach people.

I have a soft spot for seniors.

I act older than I am.

I struggle with contentment, I seem to always want something new or different.

I love being a wife, I feel so fortunate to have married my best friend.

I love having parties and people over.

I like shopping and having nice things.

I think of myself and my comforts more than I should.

I struggle with pride and jealousy.

I am constantly striving to know myself and be myself, unfiltered, 24/7.


My prayer today is that God's light would shine through me no matter where I am, who I'm with or what I'm doing. I pray that He would take my heart and molds it into something beautiful.
