Word of God
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16-17

The Message behind
Compassion Inspires
While reading Lysa Turkerst’s book, It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way, I came across a piece of advice that would change my life, “Perfection Intimidates. Compassion Inspires.” I circled the phrase and wrote the word blog next to it with a question mark almost two years ago eager to share The Good News. Today, I can say with much gratitude that Compassion Inspires is finally here.
My hope is for you to read these testimonies and leave feeling less alone and for you to develop a deeper curiosity for Jesus, not who the world depicts him to be, but for who He truly is; compassionate, loving, and kind.
May compassion inspire us. May compassion fill us. May compassion spill out of us.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.”
Ephesians 4:32

My Testimony
My Nana’s friend made a comment to me on how I am someone who is confident and loves life. While there was a time in my life where I was confident, optimistic, and wholeheartedly loved life, there was also a time in my life where those statements couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Through certain situations in life I became a girl who feared everything and worried endlessly. I seemed to have lost my sense of direction and let anxiety control my life. I based my happiness off of others and let their opinions dictate my life. I truly became very unhappy and not myself.
I’ve been in church my whole life, but there came a time where I no longer made God the top priority. I decided to go on my own because “wordly” promises seemed more satisfying. Now, I would still pray from time to time hoping God would make my circumstances better. And at times I felt He was not hearing me, but because it was not the answer I wanted… I neglected to hear him.
