Friend, Iโve been thereโclinging tightly to my own desires, and plans, only to realize that my hands and heart are too full to receive the best the Lord has for me.
When I feel stuck, Iโve learned itโs often because God is calling me to let go, but Iโm holding onโwhether to relationships, expectations, false narratives, or even subtle fears.
In Seed for the Soul, Episode 8 ๐๏ธ, I sit down with the incredible Jen Kosuda from @theartofamessyhouse to talk about the sacred beauty of releasing and rejoicing. Jen shares powerful wisdom about how releasing is an act of humility that aligns us with Godโs will and how true rejoicing is found in Jesus, even in the messy moments.
๐ฃ๏ธ Jen Kosuda says: โRelease isnโt about lossโitโs about trust. Itโs surrendering what we think we need for what God knows is best.โ
๐ If youโre in a season of wrestling with letting go or needing a reminder to rejoice in His promises, this episode will encourage your heart.
๐ง Listen now to Episode 8: Release and Rejoice: Trusting in Godโs Promises in the Messy Moments. Letโs journey together toward the freedom and joy God has for us.

In Seed for the Soul, Episode 8 ๐๏ธ, I sit down with the incredible Jen Kosuda from @theartofamessyhouse to talk about the sacred beauty of releasing and rejoicing. Jen shares powerful wisdom about how releasing is an act of humility that aligns us with Godโs will and how true rejoicing is found in Jesus, even in the messy moments.
๐ฃ๏ธ Jen Kosuda says: โRelease isnโt about lossโitโs about trust. Itโs surrendering what we think we need for what God knows is best.โ
๐ If youโre in a season of wrestling with letting go or needing a reminder to rejoice in His promises, this episode will encourage your heart.
๐ง Listen now to Episode 8: Release and Rejoice: Trusting in Godโs Promises in the Messy Moments. Letโs journey together toward the freedom and joy God has for us.

What if your greatest breakthroughs are on the other side of letting go by looking to God and looking for God in the midst of your present situation?
Hi ๐๐พ friend,
Life can feel overwhelming, messy, and even hopeless at times. You might be carrying burdens too heavy to bear, clinging to things you were never meant to hold onto. Or maybe youโre facing circumstances where joy seems impossible, and peace feels out of reach. If thatโs where you find yourself today, I have some good news: you donโt have to stay there.
This week, Jen Kosuda of the Art Of A Messy House, joins me on the latest episode of Seed for the Soul, where we dive into what it means to truly look to God and look for Him in every situation, releasing what holds us back and learning to rejoice in His goodnessโeven in the midst of challenges.

Please share Jenโs testimony with someone who needs encouragement and followed her @theartofamessyhouse ๐

When we like Mary, take our place at the feet of Jesus, and we will see that He is breathtaking. Mary sat and listened. Maryโs obedience is a stunning example of our posture and that we receive the best thing when we choose the One thing (Luke 10v38-42).
Here is further revelation: this same Mary would perform one of the most radical acts, which we continue to talk about today. She poured out an expensive bottle of Nard and washed our Lordโs feet with her hair before He went to the Cross.
โIt was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.โ Johnโฌ โญ11โฌ:โญ2โฌ โญ
What is so astonishing is on the third day of His burial women were coming to the tomb to do the very act of anointing Him, but they couldnโt for He had risen.

![Hey Friends,
I thought this would be a quick quote and then off to the races๐, but God had something different in mind. Hold tight to the end; I promise it will be worth it, as I greatly desire to impart some spiritual encouragement to bless you. Okay, letโs roll up our sleeves and dig in.
Believing God, at its core, is one of the rawest, most powerful, sacrificial, and exuberant acts of obedience.

And the immediate byproduct is the blessing of rest because of His faithfulness!
When we choose to believe God, it is also an act of ๐โด๐๐๐ฝ๐พ๐
and releases a measure of ๐๐โด๐๐ that celebrates Him and produces joy within us. We glorify God and are blessed as we do what we are created to do.
When we live in light of this revelation, the ๐๐๐ถ๐ธโฏ ๐โฏ ๐โฏ๐ธโฏ๐พ๐โฏ ๐พ๐ ๐โด๐ ๐พ๐ ๐๐ถ๐พ๐, ๐ถ๐๐น ๐ป๐ถ๐พ๐๐ฝ in Him becomes our way of life.
One more thing: as we continue to believe in Jesus, we often find our trust is followed by what some may call a test๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ. The enemy sometimes strikes to make us shrink back and remain in unbelief. It can present in many different forms; be vigilant by remaining in the word.
It can be something so small as ๐โด๐ blurting out the vision God told you to keep sacred for a season, or larger such as getting out of bed though you still physically feel the pain, stepping outside to feel the sun on your face when depression looms in the recesses of your mind, tithing or giving an additional offering when the balance in the account is bread crumbs, giving graceful word to the person you see as the author of your affliction; whatever it is, respond in faith. God sees it and is faithful to give more grace in each moment. He is inexhaustible.
This single act of obedience on your part isnโt for Himโโ๐โ๐ ๐ปโด๐ ๐โด๐! God already knows the outcome. He is showing you what He has already deposited in you through the finished work of Jesus. It was there all along, you are just walking it out. โ๐ ๐พ๐ ๐ป๐พ๐๐พ๐๐ฝโฏ๐น!

![Hi Beloved,
I pray that throughout this week youโve remained refreshed and secure in goodness of God towards you! Because you are so lovedโ
I am so full, writing this to you, because you are loved, deeply loved by Jesus.
As I spend time with the Lord, I am overwhelmed by His kindness and His ways. Iโm practicing living acutely aware of His presence and discovering His willingness to impart wisdom, dispense grace, and lavish love in each moment.
I encourage you to live enlight of His countenance, because He is facing you and watching over you. Indeed, He has His banner of love stationed over you because you are so precious to Him.
Therefore, respond accordingly by trusting Him. This is easily done by bringing everything to Him. Sitting with Him. Saturating yourself in Him.
Allowing Him to be God, because He is.
He will lift whatever has made your life heavy and exchange it with His perfect rest.
Blessings,

![And just like that๐ฎโ๐จ a New Year. โโฏ๐ถ๐น๐, ๐ฎโฏ๐, โโฏ๐๐, in the deeper things of God. The Lord continues to reveal (His) ๐๐พ๐๐ฝ๐โฏโด๐๐๐โฏ๐๐, our word from 2024 as foundational for 2025. Surprisingly, we received the confirmation of two additional words for the year, the first being: ๐ข๐๐ถ๐ธโฏ and the second: ๐ซ๐โด๐๐พ๐โฏ. We are ecstatic and feel pregnant with anticipation, knowing these words arenโt only for us but for everyone connected to us.
My husband and I prayed for the Lord to help us set the rhythm for the season and He gave us ๐๐๐ถ๐ธโฏ ๐โด๐ถ๐๐. These arenโt just ambitionsโtheyโre invitations to step into deeper intimacy with God. They come at a cost: surrendering ourselves, abandoning earthly expectations, and embracing the eternal.
Hereโs what we feel led to focus on:
1st ๐น Live Loved by God. Let the unshakable truth of His love shape every thought, decision, and action.
2nd ๐น Live in wonder and awe of Him. Stay filled to the brim with His presence, marveling at His beauty and glory.
3rd ๐น Flow with the Spirit. Let gratitude pave the way, guiding our steps and filling our hearts.
4th ๐น Embrace radical grace and hope. Expect to experience the fullness of Godโs promises by faith.
5th ๐น Relish the sacred of simplicity. Find joy in the beauty of a slowed-down, Christ-centered life.
6th ๐น Cherish the present. Fully embrace each moment and treasure the people and blessings God has placed in our lives.
7th ๐น Rejoice in the hope of His glory. Live intentionally and purposefully, grounded in the finished work of Christ and the wholeness we have in Him.
It is a privilege to live this abundant life, trusting that the Lord is orchestrating every step. Nothing is by chanceโeach moment is holy and sacred when surrendered to Him.
If I had to sum up our goals in one sentence, it would be to gaze upon the One who is invisible, experience and reflect His beauty, and dwell continually in His presence. โโฏ๐ถ๐น๐, ๐ฎโฏ๐, โโฏ๐๐.

![Hi Friends๐๐พ, can you believe it, 2024 is a wrap!
Where did you see God in the past year? How did He reveal His character to you? What prayer did He answer maybe in an unexpected way? Where did you grow and in what ways did God stretch your faith? I would love to know.
Iโve had some time to pray, ponder, reflect, and write over the past month, and still need more time to sup in His presence and soak in the word, however, did want to give you something to consider as the dawn of a new year is on the horizon.
If youโve been on TOT1 any length of time you probably know that this time of year is pretty exciting in our home as the Lord prepares the New Year with a New Word and Scripture for us to embrace. God is full of splendor and He is doing a new thing providing a theme and we are over the moon about it.
I will share our word and Scripture at a later date but definitely wanted to unveil the theme today: The Year of the Lordโs Favor.
I believe it will be a word that resonates fo](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/471446814_593211056989957_1295743564029414517_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=yei3s5WMKj0Q7kNvgFodddP&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AyucFylVub6AIiW9OZy3hU5&oh=00_AYB4pC_B11LnM72pYSm6rBNKjRJoHnrsFu7Lzyhq8WOhgA&oe=679AD9D5)
