||NY Countdown: Guest Post||

// guest post by: Tabitha{my best} of Mimzi While in NYC, eating Italian food in Little Italy is a must!! I'm so excited to do this guest post on Kerri's blog! Or as I call her, Fella. She is going to New York in less than 2 weeks and I'm SO jealous!! The hubs and I went to New York City for our honeymoon and it was one of the best decisions we made. We both have always wanted to go to New York. I had been once, but it was for a total of one day...ONE! You cant experience New York City in one day... I'm not sure you can fully experience New York in 10, but we gave it our best effort. The hubs had never been, and we figured that someday we would have kids, and taking kids...

the final part to the i·den·ti·ty series // i am made new in Christ - born of God the saying "we're just forgiven sinners saved by grace" is devastating because it actually denies the work that God has done in us. God's word tells us that we are a new creature in Christ, old things have passed away and all things have become new: "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. the old has passed away; behold the new has come" - 2 Corinthians 5:17. when i accepted Jesus a my Lord and Savior and believed upon Him, i became a new creation in Christ. God's word tells us that this new man is created in righteousness and true holiness: "and to put on the new self,...

//i am proud and blessed to live life with such crazy-talented people! Sean & Brittany Kyte put together this amazing short film called 53.  // based on Isaiah 53, this short wonderfully conveys who Jesus is and the significance of His life, death and resurrection. "in this short film we also see three very relatable scenarios in which each character is experiencing a different level of the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus. in Him, we now have hope! no matter where we are at in life, with Christ our best days truly are ahead of us." - Brittany Kyte, Created. // for more info on their future projects, follow Sean on twitter |here| and Brittany on twitter...

// my sin is no longer a part of me the truth is that your sins have not simply been covered, but actually removed from your account. this was not possible in the old testament, but through the precious Blood of Christ, the removal of sins is a reality. "the next day john saw Jesus coming toward, and said 'behold, the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!" - John 1:29. "for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" - Matthew 26:28. and if forgiving us wasn't enough, God himself chose to FORGET our failures for His own sake. when He sees us, He doesn't want to remember our failures, He wants to see us a His precious...

// i am purchased at a steep price i am purchased by the precious blood of the lamb "for you were bought with a price. so glorify God in your body" - 1 Corinthians 6:20. "and they sang a new song, saying 'worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed (or purchased) people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation" - Revelation 5:9. Jesus purchased us with His own blood because of His deep love for us and he deeply desires to have a loving relationship with you and i. "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8. // i am justified and...

// identity has been heavy on my heart the past twenty four hours. i have struggled with identity for a long time, unknowingly. so, i am challenging myself to memorize the scripture verses that have to do with my identity. if you are up for the challenge, join me! i will post the verses to memorize at the end of every post. please declare these scriptures over your life and watch how God changes and/or reveals new things about who you are. feel free to comment below about anything the Lord shows you as we dive deeper into this. my heart is to start a conversation and to learn and grow with you. // identity. identity. identity. // God is so good. // continually renewing your mind with...

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:14-...
