Hey everyone! Zoie and I (Alyssa) wanted to hop on here and share some life lessons we have learned being on this walk and we still have so much more to learn as we continue on with life. Now a few things that Zoie loves to talk about is being quick to listen and slow to speak. Why? Because when we are still and quiet that gives God room to speak into our lives, time to search our hearts (in other words, letting God look at us and see what is in us, what our heart posture is and what we need to work on as disciples) and to just know Him and know His voice! Another thing she loves to talk about is patience. And I absolutely see the importance in it as well. But patience is a fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22) This could mean something different to every person. But for a lot of people when God speaks to them they want to see results asap but that is not always the case sometimes you have to be patient and wait on his timing but when the time comes and what he spoke happens it is so amazing some of my favorite moments. Something that I feel that is so important that needs to be talked about is being grateful for what you have AND what you don’t have. Thank Him for the bed you sleep on and thank Him that you are not suffering on the streets, Thank him in the storm, Thank him when you he blesses you. There are so many ways this can go, but just praise Him because without Him you wouldn’t have anything… He is so merciful and we must not take advantage of that. And get in the Word. That is the most important thing you will do besides being completely alone with Him. The Word is your food, that is where you gain understanding, that is your sword and belt when it comes to the armor of God. We love all of y’all and hope you continue to read about our journey and what God is speaking!
