Time does not atone for our sin. We must learn to approach Jesus with our confession, invite Holy Spirit to help us change our bad habits and wrong mindsets (repentance), and learn to keep our eyes on Him.

You can find my book, When Jesus Shows Up In Skinny Jeans, on Amazon.

I love the powerful spiritual analogy of increasing progress and depth in our intimacy with the Spirit of the Lord. The message in these scriptures say to me, Don’t stop till you’re swimming, carried by God’s current, and comfortable there.

Take inventory in your relationship with Holy Spirit. Are you ankle deep, knee deep, waist deep, or swimming?

“On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭14‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭47‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Two years ago yesterday, I celebrated the publication of When Jesus Shows Up in Skinny Jeans.
This book is my testimony of going from simply knowing about Jesus to knowing Him intimately and walking through life with Him and the Holy Spirit. It was such a privilege to write alongside Jesus, and I’m continually in awe of how He keeps using it for His glory.
From the first words on the page to the final published version, it was a journey of seven years of intentional writing.
If the Lord has invited you into something, keep saying yes. Keep showing up. Keep doing the thing He’s asked you to do until He tells you otherwise. It may take seven weeks or seven years, but He is faithful to bring His purposes full circle.
I’m so grateful to be part of what He’s doing.
