20, started messy, confused, and distorted. But by summer your life was changed and by December you were anointed. 21, your heart was broken to the very core. The family you held so close, wouldn’t open their doors. 22, oh you were through with all you’ve ever known. Took risk after risk, and trusted God that he will show. 23 was twenty-free, and how far … Continue reading A Letter Written on the Last Day of my 20s

A few weeks ago, I was in worship and we were singing, “Your burden is light and your yoke is easy.” As I was singing it, I saw light and the glory of it engulf my body. I heard Jesus whisper, “My burden is light.” Like the sun shining into every part of our skin, the light that is Christ illuminates every cabinet,  room,  and … Continue reading My Burden is Light

What if the counter-acting and abolishing force to offense was compassion? Instead of choosing offense, causing unrighteous anger and resentment, what if I choose to have compassion that causes connection and love? Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34. Even though they chose to do it! Even though they blatantly did it! Jesus asked Father God for … Continue reading Compassion > Offense

The other night in worship, God showed me a vision; I was leading a song and the vision took over my whole mind. I stepped away from the microphone and allowed God to speak to me. What I saw was a group of people aligned on a cliffside. It looked foggy at first, but when I looked closer it was a heavenly presence in the sky. … Continue reading The Next Step

Are you following the desires of your heart, or other’s hearts? When I think about the kingdom of God, I see it as a very shared, collaborative, triumphant realm. All victories that we experience are from the Cross. Your victory is my victory, my victory is your victory, because we are ONE body–unified by our faith. The Bible says, “They triumphed over him by the … Continue reading The Desires of the Heart

When you pioneer your life and take the road less traveled, you are discovering the road as you walk along. There is great partnership with God that comes along with that–if you are doing it in a healthy way. Sometimes, you might get stuck, because you have gotten too comfortable on the step you are on/in. But, have faith and move forward. Break free from … Continue reading You Are the Bridge †

Working hard, diligently,  seriously,  and with enthusiasm is definitely something I got goin’ on. When I look back on my life in its entirety, I can see when I played multiple sports at the same time, while being involved in clubs in school. I can see when I worked multiple jobs at the same time, and was apart of bands and growing in yoga. Overall, I … Continue reading HE Will Move Mountains

Often, I find myself in the tension of timing. So often, I find myself hearing someone or myself say, “In Gods Timing.” Sometimes, I find relief in that, but other times I feel like its a cop-out. Cop-out? Yes. As if we do not have the ability to make powerful choices for ourselves. On the same token, I do agree with the truth of “All in Gods Timing”: Ecclesiastes 3: There’s … Continue reading T I M I N G †

In my development, I have learned that when growing in intimacy with a person you almost have to leave space for opportunity. I find myself whether mirroring/feeling for a person in powerlessness, or giving them a blunt, unattached opinion. Of course, both empathy and objectiveness have their appropriate time and place, but there are moments for the in between. Allowing the room for the middle-of-the-spectrum to reveal itself, … Continue reading Moving Through The Space Between

What I Learned From Genesis 4 : The Story of Cain & Abel 4 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some … Continue reading Cain & Abel

Success can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But, what does it mean to you? A person’s value system is greatly tied with their idea of success. If they value power, success to them is power. If they value a position, success to them is a position. If they value the happiness of their family, success is family cohesiveness. For most, … Continue reading Success

INTRODUCTION: Being filled with the Holy Spirit and activated in Christ is an incredible experience. It can seem like something difficult to understand for someone who hasn’t experienced it yet, but it is the most marvelous, effortless, and beautiful communication that only requires us to turn our gaze toward em’. After being baptized by the fire of the Holy Spirit, I was challenged to immediately hear from Holy Spirit. … Continue reading From Moses To Miriam

Working out, staying active, and playing fun, physical activities all reminds me of this concept. Your body experiences growing pains when you are building muscle–you get sore from weakness leavin’ the body. What if the first few times of soreness stopped you from continuing your activity? You would never do anything active. But when you embrace it and partner up with your body’s capabilities you end … Continue reading GROWING PAINS

Obviously, when we talk about God there is this ethereal understanding that he is GOD, that he is the Creator of all the universe, and that he is this mystical gigantic being. For me, I don’t have a lot of insight into that and I can’t fully register the measure of what that means because I haven’t really traveled throughout the universe. However, what I … Continue reading How Big Is God?

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 God said, let there be light and there was light. (Gen. 1:3) Our words have power and can change the universe, the atmosphere around us, and the unlimited power inside of us. Imagine, if we truly saw ourselves as powerful people we could make the world a better place. … Continue reading Words Have Power

It’s an interesting shift when control is removed from a person, space, or situation. When the mask of false humility and the nuisances of intimidation begin to loose its pull on you, an extraordinary breakthrough seems to occur and the impossible becomes possible. With the lack of the controller and its perpetuated safe rhythm of false responsibility present, the light of others starts to brighten and take shape. People … Continue reading CONTROL

Lying & Cursing Why Lie? For me, I always understood lying as something we did in our little worlds. For example, lying to a boss about staying home sick from work but instead what you really did was go to a concert of your favorite band. Or those times in high school when you lied so that you can spend more time with your friends. I never understood … Continue reading Lying & Cursing

It’s so easy to see ourselves as seasons passed. I remember so many seasons with a variety of landscapes, fruit, people, circumstances, and adventures. I remember what was new for me, what was normal for me, what had happened to me, what could happen for me, and learning new lessons all along the way. And the best part is…. I am in a season right now. … Continue reading Who I Am Today

1Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; Genesis 1: 14-15  1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of … Continue reading Jesus Loves The Universe

EDUCATION LOVE | We can change the world. In order to change the world around us we need to change the world inside of us. Just like Michael Jackson’s song “Man In The Mirror” lyrics, “I’m startin’ with the man in the mirror! I’m asking him to change his ways!” Evil is learned behavior. So just as we have accepted it into our lives we can … Continue reading EDUCATION LOVE

Ya know, I’ve been thinking a lot about princesses lately and princesses as we know it seem like fairy tales due to our very artistic and creative portrayals of them. But, I think princess stories have a profound influence on a girl’s heart because it’s rooted in truth. It is true that every girl and woman is a princess. When I’ve been thinking about princesses and trying to look at … Continue reading Powerful Women

  I have a friend that’s been on my heart this week. This friend has been given more responsibility then they’ve had before and I see this as an opportunity for them to steward goodness, to motivate people, and be a leader in where they are. New responsibility may seem like a lot at first because it is. There is a lot to learn and a … Continue reading You Are More Than Enough

Oh what a safe place God is in us.  And when we spend time with God, truth is sent from heaven > to our hearts > from our heart > to our minds like a gust of wind! And like a running river, love charges through our minds and again! All is clearer! All is new! Revelation comes and we have been made pure! We get to … Continue reading Celebrate The Victory

When I first learned that I was awesome, it was a big day for me. I was in a church, in Los Angeles, and Pastor Gram said, “You are destined for greatness! Every single one of you was born to be something great!” My mind was blown. For most, they expect that with their lives but a lot of us didn’t have that belief system. … Continue reading Confidence

I’ve encountered many people in my life that I would call inspiring. Most of them would blush at the thought of it, because usually they weren’t meaning to be. These people are simply the people who are doing what makes THEM HAPPY. Whether they’re doing their expression or something that gives them a healthy identity. Them doing them, makes me want to do me. People who … Continue reading Be Inspiring

As women, we’ve come so far in equality. Even when I look back at movies, I notice the evolution of Woman Characters and how they’ve been depicted and treated. Strength is a reoccurring role but the role of empowerment and possibility has reached new and outstanding levels. A part of me though, can’t help but think we’ve lost a few things. Everything comes at a cost … Continue reading Let Go And Uplift

So that probably means you are completely unaware of the … Continue reading Dear Generation Selfish,

I know I can’t change the past but I can do a lot to change my future. The lesson of the day in our volleyball … Continue reading Execute What To Do

Experience can make learning something new really difficult. You plan everything out that you think “will most likely happen” because a lot has happened in your life! While learning how to drive my new car’s stick shift, I sat behind the wheel and saw it all! I would see myself stalling a hundred times before actually getting anywhere. I would see myself stalling in the … Continue reading Imagination InLove

“Life for some people can be living from emotion to emotion” Example: Men Men and Women are different creatures but of the same mold. We all have our go to jams of emotions and tendencies. Individually we have different habits and expressions. We all choose something and everything. Some men have a go to jam of getting angry while a lot of men even value … Continue reading Guiding Emotion

I didn’t go from a 2 year college to a 4 year college because to me it was a decision between:      Debt and a random major VS music and life long friends SO I chose music and life long friends. Since then I’ve ran Open Mics, was apart of a Documentary on Music Festivals, sang at Festivals, sang in Yoga classes, sang with incredible musicians … Continue reading Music Dream

Growing up you learn what is right and wrong. You get rewarded for good behavior and you get punished for bad remembering to do the right thing, while building your “character spine”. In yoga recently my instructor said, “You’re only as strong as your spine.” And that’s totally true for the body, but it’s also for the soul. Now, I pride myself on doing the right thing. Every … Continue reading Be Led By The Good

“Trust me” He says. “Give it all to me” He requires. “I gotchu” He prophesizes. What does Trust look like? If I give you everything that I tightly hold onto, what will you do with it? “Ask me” He responds. “I’ll show you” He says. “I know you better than you know yourself.” He explains.

Super simple. I’ve learned not to wait for permission from anyone to be myself. Yeah its important to have a safe zone of friends where you feel free and comfortable and able to be whatever it is you are but now its time. Its time to grow upward and apply that beautiful soul and mind to wherever you are. We stop ourselves from the things … Continue reading Let yourself BE

As women we have an intuitive gift of being concerned for the people we love. Many of us aren’t necessarily good at managing it, myself very much included. It’s one thing to be concerned for friends and family but to sit and worry or spend endless hours focused on it isn’t healthy. Even worrying about our own lives isn’t necessary. Personally, thats when my prayer comes in, or for others … Continue reading Don’t Worry! Be Happy!

My sister wrote a book on forgiveness. It’s being edited at this moment and won’t be published for a little while. Me and very few were privileged enough to be granted the honor of reading it pre edited. Fortunately, as my sister was on her own life path discovering her own revelations of how good God is she shared it with me. So I have … Continue reading Forgiveness Quest

Imagine if that was the age you were approaching in your life. That next number right around the corner. Can you imagine thinking that “Im about to be 60. Woah” … I had a good day at work today. And mostly because of how many people were there.  We consider nights like this “dead.” Like we’d say “man its dead. no ones here” So I … Continue reading What do you know at your age?

“To live on the edge of life, you have to exercise rebellion.” (-Man On Wire-) From one of the greatest documentaries comes one of the greatest inspirations for accomplishing the extraordinary.

No, I realize, not yet, my life has … Continue reading Rooftops & Wires By: Ashley Gallagher

I was at the gym yesterday and during the middle of my workout I was craving some water.

If all these people knew that the “not so cold” water is better … Continue reading Want & Need
