This Is What Success Looks Like
You are talented. Before you shake your head, deny those words, and click the little red X on this page, let me ask you a question: Do you remember the parable of the three servants who were given different amounts of talents? In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a story about...
Ten Years Later: Thank You. (Let’s Celebrate!)
I’ve done all the things (including updating my budget spreadsheet and organizing my photo library) in an attempt to put off writing this post. It feels like a big deal, and honestly I don’t know if I have the right words. Let me begin with these two:...
Until Only He Remains
The post was originally published in the June 2019 issue of LifeWay’s HomeLife Magazine. I’m honored to be included in the print publication, and grateful for the opportunity to share the words with you here as well. I came across an old journal while...
When “Abundantly More” Looks like Crying in a Bookstore
“When is the last time you cried in a bookstore?” If you had asked me that question two months ago, I would have looked at you blankly, racked my brain, and then hesitantly replied “Umm, I’m not sure I’ve ever done that.” I’m the girl who read straight through dinner,...
A (Totally Free) Conference for Writers
I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting to tell you about this! I’m honored to be among the fantastic line-up of speakers for the free (seriously… it’s totally free) . I know. It sounds too good to be true, but there’s no catch. It really is...
MY BOOK // Even If Not: Living, Loving, and Learning in the in Between
![“Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].
Blessed [forgiven, refreshed by God’s grace] are those who mourn [over their sins and repent], for they will be comforted [when the burden of sin is lifted].
Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.
Blessed [content, sheltered by God’s promises] are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed [anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature] are the pure in heart [those with integrity, moral courage, and godly character], for they will see God.
Blessed [spiritually calm with life-joy in God’s favor] are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they will [express His character and] be called the sons of God.
Blessed [comforted by inner peace and God’s love] are those who are persecuted for doing that which is morally right, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].”
- Jesus in Matthew 5, AMP
💛 A small quote of my own and timeless words from Jesus that have been, time after time, a lighthouse and a guide for me. Perhaps they’ll find you at a time you need a line or two, too.](http://kaitlynbouchillon.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
