Jacob saw Rachel and instantly fell in love! He didn't act upon his flesh desires, he waiting and talked with her Father. He pursued her and respected her Fathers wishes, and waited 7 years for Rachel. At first it was intended to be just 7 but he was deceived by Laban to marry his first born daughter Leah after Jacob did the work. And in order to marry Rachel, he had to work for Laban another 7 years and Jacob agreed.

Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her (Genesis 29:20).

What!!! Women, and you are settling for Mr. no relationship with God, mr. lazy on the couch playing video games, mr. have to test the waters before marriage kinda men and you have been given bo zo the clown way too many chances after God has been telling you to wait.

The most important goals and desires are worth working and waiting for. God sees who is for you. He knows your heart. Jesus is pursing you! Waiting doesn't make you weird, it makes you confident in your self. Waiting on God, in the end is perfection. And anything God has you wait for is solid. It won't be broken because it is rooted in him. :)

All kinds of loss is hard, whether it is losing a loved one or yourself. There are many forms of what loss can look like and what it can do in you. And when it seems like your life is loss after loss, how do you ever heal? In this episode we will discuss how to handle loss and how to live through it. Remembering someone you have loved so dearly is a gift and something that we want to always hold onto. The shattered heart of losing someone can place you in bondage and never experience true rest.

With my life being loss after loss I can relate. In this episode, we will discuss the story of Job and how it pertains to our loss here today.

We can live on earth but be in Heaven. If you are preoccupied with heavenly things, then Jesus is in control of your life, and you are a citizen of his divine kingdom. If earthly pleasures are your focus, then you're at home in this world.

Philippians 3:19-21

2 Timothy 4:7-8

The Christian life is hard! Yes, I get it! It is fight! But if we just hold on and stay true to God through it all, he promises an end, a rest and a crown!
