Day 5 of my Spiritual journey challenge. Romans 1:16-17

Our faith to believe is a gift. What does it means for me to "Live by faith" in my current season of life?

Trusting God's character, promises, and invisible work rather than relying solely on what you can see, control, or feel in your current circumstances.

In a Season of Transition or Change: Faith means stepping out into the unknown, trusting that God goes before you even if the next step isn't fully illuminated. Choosing patience over forcing doors open. Faith means refusing to let pain dictate your view of God's goodness. It means leaning on His strength rather than your own breaking point.

I find God during my solitude moment during my walk through nature. I find peace and beauty during those times.

Happy birthday to my son ~ 19 years of great memories with you. 💙

I can't believe at 1:12am a miracle has arrived 19 years ago today!!! I was blessed with such a wonderful gift that God has blessed me with a handsome baby boy weighing 7 lbs. 13 oz. 21 1/3 inches long! I was in labor for almost 17 hours all natural, no drugs, no epidural, and I would do it all over again! 💙

We overcame so many obstacles and still have more to face. Most definitely have a lot to learn and experience, and grow, especially during the teenage years!! Lord help us and get on the right path. My son is my rock, and he is one of the reasons why I fight hard every day to get us the lives we deserve. Try to be better human, to explore life, find peace, love and live abundantly.🙏

He has potentials, very bright and he challenges me! Oftentimes, leaving me stumped and uncertain how to respond or understand his mindset! I love him though, and will continue to fight for him and help pave the path to a successful, positive, fun and better days ahead! Creating more memories. ✨️

Happy 19th birthday, my Lad! I love you, never give up or settle for less!! Thank you for all the memories and lessons. 🥳 by @a.cole77

Last Tuesday's visit at Stafford Civil War Park and the nature trails were beautiful. I explored over an hour and a half, over 7000 steps, and I recommend this place to discover. I find historical sites/Battlefields are beautiful place to walk.

I pushed myself to do all the trails since some were rugged, some steep inclines, unmarked and it was a bit warm that afternoon. All worth it though.

Day 4 of my challenge: Luke 15:11-32

When we turn from sinful ways and move towards God, God does not condemn us, but is merciful. A New Direction, receiving God's mercy does not mean sin is excused, but that you are freed from a lifestyle of rebellion to walk in a renewed path.

I am proud of my little accomplishment I did today. God has granted me this glorious afternoon and being able to walk over 3 miles. I pushed myself and it felt good meeting my milestone. It may not be much to some, but to me, it means a lot. Every little steps goes a long way! ✨️

Day 3 of my "movement" challenge

Mark 6:34-44 ~ Jesus challenged the disciples to think beyond their limitations. I invite you to dream and look for Jesus and the Holy Spirit at work in your life during this challenge. 🙌🏻

I am thrilled to embark on this spiritual journey as I walked on the same ground as the American soldiers did 164 years ago. I cannot fathom how they felt, what they witnessed and how treacherous those moments were for them. The fear, the unknown and how abruptly those lives were taken. I prayed as I paused, and realized how grateful I am to be there. I am grateful that these historical sites are being preserved. 🙏🏼

It was challenging for me to walk in solitude with God as I am facing hardships, the uncertainty yet, with him I know it will be alright. I was reminded earlier that Satan will try to destroy what God is planning for us. Something big will happen and I am channeling through each layers as I prepare myself to see what God will reveal for me. I am ready. 🌱

I was able to see half of the battlefield since it was raining and muddy, so I finally was able to see some of the Battle of the Crater that took place during the American Civil War, part of the Siege of Petersburg. 🌦

It occurred on Saturday, July 30, 1864, between the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, and the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by Major General George G. Meade under the direct supervision of the general-in-chief, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. 🎖

It was an honor to be on the same ground as the soldiers who fought on that spot. Very humbling, God bless their souls. ❤️‍🩹

This was part of my "The Chosen" walk challenge, day 2. I was able to experience God’s presence with me as I tried to feel and see what the soldiers experienced. I am grateful that we are preserving history and being able to be part of it. Keep history alive and always support your local businesses and historical sites. 🙏🏼

Week 1: "Get used to different" - You don't need to have it all figured out today. You just need one step. One mile, Twenty minutes. That's it. Every little steps goes a long way. 👣

I chose to support this cause, because over the past few months, I have witnessed the incredible way "The Chosen" has reached people all around the world, and touched their lives in meaningful and positive ways, including myself. 🙌

In some ways, I feel like I have been watching this moment unfold for over 30 years. I remember sensing that there would one day be a great wave of God's Word spreading throughout the world, with new and creative ways for people to connect with one another and encounter Him. I envisioned God's Word flowing freely, reaching people wherever they are like water spreading across the earth. ✝

I didn't begin watching, "The Chosen" until Easter of this year, but when I finally did, it gave me an entirely new perspective. It helped me understand Scripture in ways I hadn't before, and seeing the biblical characters come alive made the stories feel more personal, relatable, and real. 📙 🎦

I truly believe Dallas has done a remarkable job bringing this story to life, alongside the countless people who have poured their gifts, time, creativity, and hearts into making the series possible. I truly appreciate those who have genuine purpose of wanting to do good deeds for others, and not for their selfish reasons.🫶

The gentleman who portrayed Jesus, Jonathan, was truly, truly extraordinary, as well as the other cast members who all have done a tremendous job, and it is phenomenal to see them all wanting to complete this and kept returning throughout the years!❤️‍🔥

What makes this especially meaningful to me is the opportunity to help make these stories accessible to people everywhere. I would love to see all seven seasons of "The Chosen" brought to the world produced, translated, and shared freely so that people from every nation, language, and background have the opportunity to encounter Jesus through the show. 👨‍👩‍👧

I know what it is like to ride emotional roller coasters without answers. To ask God “why” over and over, to seek answers, clarity, truth, the light and still feel lost. Wondering what I am doing wrong or missing. I needed a space to fully express what I was experiencing—my thoughts, my emotions, especially when I felt like I was unraveling alone.🛐

For most of my life, I have felt dictated to, controlled, and told how my story should go. I still hear those voices; lingering echoes of criticism, dismissal, and shame. Every day, I fight the deep internal battles they left behind. The demons are relentless, but so is my hope. My faith alone soars above all things impossible, and life is so much more than what your eyes are seeing.💪

For the ones who have had to fight alone, for the ones still standing, still trying to stay strong and still searching for wholeness within. Keep fighting, keep your eyes on God, pray, be resilient, keep that flame lit internally and never let anyone dim that light.🔥

Finding that spark speaks to our need for grounding — spiritually, emotionally, and personally. To be rooted is to feel safe in your own body, heart, and mind. To remember your connection to something greater: your faith, your truth, your ancestors and your soul. True healing begins when you embrace the one who feels the pain.✨

Some wounds are easy to explain. Others stay hidden behind smiles, silence, strength, and the words, “I’m okay.” This is a prayer for those hidden places. For the memories you avoid, the tears you never let fall, the pain you learned to live around and the things only God knows. ❤️‍🩹

You may not have the words to explain everything you feel, but God already knows your heart. I seek God to heal what we never talk about, to heal our silence prayers, our hidden pain, everything we may not be aware of, and for everything in general. God hears us, he sees us, and we have to trust in him and be patience as we work within us. ✝

Sometimes it is not what we are wanting or needing, because he knows a better plan, and he helps us by showing these things, he will distant us from others and things that are not good for us, and open up new doors. ❤️‍🔥 by @a.cole77

I had a lovely quality time with my son, even though it was another blazing hot day, but we had fun! ❤️‍🔥

Especially when the goose visited us, my son was nervous as it got closer, but I enjoyed talking to it! 😊

I thank God for today, and every day. ✝️

Day 1 of my "The Chosen" challenge. I am looking forward on strengthen my spiritual journey with Jesus through movement is one way for me to care for my body, mind, soul and spirit. Movement can become an act of worship and not just exercise. ✨

Matthew 19:23-28 - If you are doubting whether you can complete this challenge remember, with God all things are possible! 🙏

I have to admit, this was fitting, because I was in so much pain from the nerve issues throughout my body, the heat, feeling dizzy and yet, I pushed through a little over 10,000 steps with my son's encouraging support! Praise the Lord! 💪🙌

Shoutout to everyone who is trying right now.

Trying to do the right thing. Trying to stay strong. Trying to hold on. Trying to let go. Trying to love themselves. Trying to find happiness.

I see you... I'm there too. We are in this together. ❤️‍🩹 by @a.cole77

We often spend too much time letting our thoughts determine our state of mind. We live through the emotions of stories that don't yet exist. "I wish I looked like her/him or have what they have, and who will find me worthy for who I am?" or "I'm not good enough." 🙁

These false perceptions create realities in our minds that when given enough energy can turn into reality in our lives. When we control our thoughts, we control our 'things.' This is how meditation translates into our lives. 💬

"I am enough. I am worthy. I will be loved. I will be appreciated for all who I am. Believe in yourself and others will see your true beauty and inner self." ❤️‍🔥

Seeking God's Kingdom ~ MATTHEW 6:25-34 - Do Not Worry

25) "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26) Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27) Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28) "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29) Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30) If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31) So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32) For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. by @a.cole77

Today I choose life. When I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, or pain. To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices. EVERYDAY, I choose to life, because I love Jesus, life, myself, my son and there are so much more to discover in this world that God created for us! 💝

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is unknown but today is present, make the best of it. Today is now, so here's another chance to do what you need to do, and not worry about the future, focus on what can be done, and get through today! 🙌🏻
