Hi everyone!!! And welcome to week one of Sincerely Rooted, the blog!
This is such an exciting season wow!!!! I am so excited to share more intimately about me and how the lord has drastically changed my life!!! If you've known me for longer than a year, you know my heart has not always been chasing after the lord -- and actually quite the opposite! Throughout my early years of high school i was consumed by sin and beyond far from the lord. however, I think God has truly used that season to show me my need for him, his grace, and how important it is to go all in for him!!
CURRENTLY!!!!
Sophomore year of college!!! I knew coming into this year god was going to show me reliance on him, but wow!!!! I have been the busiest ive ever been in my entire life!! working pretty much everyday, weddings most weekends, and lots of intentional time with new people I have grown to love!!! My biggest current lesson in my faith is the power of prayer! I think intimate time with the Lord has always been my biggest struggle as a christian, wether its being intimated to come to him in all my sin or "too busy' to make time to be intentional in conversation with god, I have always struggled with being constant in prayer as Romans 12:12 tells us to be. But recently, more than ever, the lord has been working to reveal to me to come as i am!! he meets me in my brokenness and reveals his healing through prayer!! It is through my time with him that i am convicted, i feel seen, and that i hear his voice and instruction! Prayer, even casually, is where you find god the most personally & intimately and it is so important - He wants your conversation!
what im working on!
Part of sincerely rooted is being honest about my convictions and how the lord is still constantly shaping my heart to be more like his! First up is patience - I find validation in business and preparation and there are so many aspects of my heart that are so hard for me to surrender to god, fully! But he reminds me of all the times that being productive in my seasons of waiting have led me closer to his promises to me! With that being said, god is teaching me that he will not withhold things that are meant for me! & in his timing he will provide!
Thank you so much for reading this week's blog & how the lord is working in my life currently! so much to come soon!!!!
sincerely yours,
Ella grace horton!!!!
