Let Go. Let God.
Last week I sat down to wade through the drafted posts here, the words that never turned into sentences and the sentences that never saw the light of day. I came across this draft from summer of 2013. Somehow my post-grad self needed to read these words and I wonder...
Your Writing Matters Even if It Doesn’t Make Money

Isaiah 42:16 (a free print for you because I like you)
Sara asked me to read Isaiah 41:10 at bible study on Monday. The words are beautiful no matter which translation you pick, but I was reading from the NIV translation. Then I looked up the same verse in The Message translation and my stomach did flip-flops. When she...
We’re All Just Walking Each Other Home

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.](https://kaitlynbouchillon.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
