do you need a good RELEASE?!

by Karmen |

The solo act in the car today was AWESOME!

The harmony, the lead, the low, all the parts…

Wait? What?!! That can’t be right??

I was the driver.

And yet it felt SO GOOD to crank up the volume and praise and lift my hands….make up my own words, drum on the stirring wheel and SING-LIKE-A-STAR TO THE TOP OF MY LUNGS….

the LOUDER I sang the free-er I felt!

No audience

No pressure

No rejection

Just the Lord, the music and me in the car with the sun on my face and the blacktop before me. Such a refreshing, long overdue RELEASE… If you’re feeling bogged down, overwhelmed or clinch-your-teeth-stressed tuck the kids in, kiss the hubs, jump in the car, CRANK IT UP and go for a quick, good for the soul~

RELEASE…

********

Thanks for stoppin’ by for a quick, five minute, stress-free, edit-free snippet. Find more on today’s #FMF word,

RELEASE over at Lisa-Jo’s

night y’all

🙂 K

    Yes! Singing at the top of my lungs is a GREAT release! Dancin to great music is also a GREAT release, but it does look kinda funny when you’re drivin down the road, lol

    I do the exact same thing. Anything by Big Daddy Weave or Toby Mac turns me immediately into a superstar!

    Yeah…i do it and it is wonderful. Sometimes I wonder what the car next to me at the red light is thinking when they see me belt it out. But who cares…it’s wonderful. 🙂

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅

message me for more details
