“Things We Lost in the Fire” — Pastor Charles Wesley Knight

Dr. Charles Wesley Knight is one of my favourite preachers by far. Each of his sermons are gold. This is one of the first sermons I’ve ever heard from him (and, of course, one of my favourites): More sermons can be found here.

@Regran_ed from @beauty_redefined - What is next for the body positivity movement online? Many awesome people have shown us what actual bodies (outside of those selling profit-driven beauty ideals) look like. Your body is not shameful or gross for not looking like the mainstream ideals we’ve all grown up with, and your news feed can easily reflect the fabulousness of body diversity. 1️⃣We believe seeing and understanding the absolute normalness of body diversity is the first step in pushing positive body image forward online — and we believe that step has been successfully accomplished online (though we’re always pushing for better representation in mainstream media). 2️⃣We’re advocating for the next crucial step forward: getting beyond the rut of *looking* at our own and others’ bodies and into the realm of SEEING and BEING more than just bodies. Women are suffering due to appearance obsession — being objectified and then turning that objectified view on themselves. The real problem is not that only certain's women's bodies are valued, it is that women's bodies are valued more than women themselves. Every one of us will have greater respect and appreciation for our bodies when our bodies are no longer defined by how they *look.* ✖️How do you feel in your body? What does your body *do* for you? What can you experience through your body? ⏪Focusing on all of those things will get you closer to body confidence and empowerment than any temporary feeling of “beautiful” or “attractive” ever will. Let’s see more and be more — online and off! #BeautyRedefined #MoreThanaBody #SeeMoreBeMore 🖌Illustration for BR by the amazing @mylittlebelleville ▶️Find my TEDx talk where I talk more about this idea, as well as our online course, through the link in our bio! - #regrann

It's been one of those days where I hate everyone and everything and I hate my life and there's no sun and the sky is always overcast and it's damn cold (well, surprisingly not today but every other day) and I'm tired and I'm resentful and I'm bitter and I feel forsaken by God and I'm re-reassessing my life choices. I'm over winter and it hasn't even started. I've been having such a blah year and blah past few months and blah week and blah day and it's not even noon. I am not happy and I haven't been for quite some time. #friyay #bigwhoop -- I need carbs. I want sugar. I'm gonna drown my frustration in a donut (in a heated edifice of course). 🍩 -- So I pop into @littlejoberrys for a little pick me up, and I meet an angel. ❤ Check out my FB or IG story for deets. -- It's the third time this week where I feel like God has sent something to say, "I see you. I got you."

"It didn’t feel too good to be true, it felt too God to let go." Whew. I felt that. Gonna let that one marinate in my spirit. 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 . . @Regran_ed from @sarahjakesroberts - There was always this fear that a man couldn’t come into my life and love my children as I do. I thought there would always be this distance and because I hadn’t made the best choices in love in the past I decided that I would never fall in the trap of letting my insecurities create an environment that could not fully develop my children into the best version of themselves. _ I figured it would be better for me to be one person pursuing wholeness than give my children a front row view of two people punishing one another over the inability to meet the expectations of love we had in mind. _ And then came him... It didn’t feel too good to be true, it felt too God to let go. I knew one thing for sure and that was that I wanted someone who would dive in with me and roll up their sleeves so that we could raise good human beings. That’s exactly what we’ve done. We learned to infiltrate the hearts of our children with sensitivity to their process and wisdom for getting them to their next. I with him and he with me we let the God factor determine the flavor of our blend. _ I read once that divorce or separation can be extremely traumatic for children. However the steps taken afterwards can be so illuminating and productive that it course corrects the prior instability that the children witnessed. _ Moral of the story? The goal is wholeness through God with one’s self and then an insistence that anyone you choose to do life with be on the same pursuit with tangible fruit or dare to walk alone. _ I met my King on the road to the best me. #tbt #womanevolve - #regrann

I always have the best of intentions. This is why I stick to buying frozen veggies.

I'm going through a granola phase (and by the looks of it, I might stay in this phase a little while longer).🤤 -- So many granola products out there are hella expensive for what you get and they're not even #glutenfree . So I've been making my own #granola. -- This time around I used coconut oil, @onlyoats.avenafoods #glutenfreeoats , @bobsredmill coconut flakes, chia seeds and ground flaxseeds, @naturespathorganic #glutenfree puffed crispy rice cereal, cocoa powder, salt, chocolate shavings/curls (the most important part!) and sweetened it with @lundbergfarms brown rice syrup. Then I put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 mins and turned it halfway through. -- I topped it all off with the toasted coconut almond milk from @califiafarms that I bought at @wholefoods . #heaven 🙌🏿😇 -- Sometimes I use date paste instead of brown rice syrup to make my granola clumpy. Other times I add dried fruit and/or nuts. -- Yeah... this granola phase is here to stay. #glutenfreegranola
