#19 Transformations and Renewed Dreams – Stepping into God’s Holy Word and His Plan

Community, Episodes, Faith, Friendship

April 19, 2021

Welcome back to another episode of the Grace Room, if you’ve been around for a while you’ve heard these ladies before on previous episodes. Bree and Makenzie are two women who love Jesus with their whole hearts and have revived their blog, two little birds wander west, to share the good news of Jesus, write about their own transformations, and express their vibrant personalities through their heart for beautiful photography, fashion, and blogging. God has truly changed them both through the several years that their blog has been silent. What started as a blog with two single girls who were still figuring out their faith is now a blog that professes the name of Jesus on the daily. I am so excited to talk with them about how God has completely changed them from the inside out. We will also be talking about the importance of reading your Bible, stepping into community, and allowing God to lead your steps. I am so excited to share this conversation with you guys, so here is my conversation with Bree and Makenzie.

get ready to learn about:

The importance of finding your people who make up your community
Encouragement to read your Bible DAILY and make Jesus a PRIORITY in your life
How our priorities impact us – both good and bad
Encouragement to find your IDENTITY solely in Christ
Letting go of what weighs you down and accepting the grace God pours over you
The goodness that awaits you when you start drawing close to Jesus

quotes mentioned:

“When you really start reading your Bible it is mind-blowing.”

“People are expecting God to reach out and speak to them. He is going to speak to you but it doesn’t mean that the Bible is about you.”

“Everyone’s going to die. It’s going to happen. Where do you want to go? How do you want to spend forever and ever?”

“There is literally no sin and no shame that Jesus is not willing to save you from. He will save you from whatever it is that you have in your life.”

“Sin is not your identity – don’t let it be your identity.”

“Your identity needs to be in Christ. When you let go of that pride your life radically changes.”

“That’s what’s so crazy, you can be lost and not even know you are lost”

“Remember that this life is so temporary. We put so much emphasis on it, and it feels so long to us, but really it’s the blink of an eye to God. When you look at your life as being ‘this is temporary’ and you have that kingdom mindset, you can wake up everyday and remind yourself that this is not your home – your home is in heaven.”

“There is nothing we can do to deserve the grace that God gives us.”

“The most important relationship in your life is the one with Jesus – it’s not your kids, it’s not your husband, it’s not your wife – it is Jesus, because He’s the only foundation that will never crumble.”
