Encouraging others to see faith in everyday life. Original photography by Amy Bretall with features.

It may not be popular, common, or worldly, but you know when it’s yours to DO.

It’s your responsibility in this little part of earth to SHOW up. Big and/or little ... it’s for you to share your gifts.🙌

The couch of comfort is wide. GET up!💪🏻

Be BOLD! ‘Cuz the cushions start to sag. How long will you sit there?⌛️

Ideas are easy. 🧚‍♂️ It takes effort to execute, act, and implement. Once you move the energy chain has begun — action brings progress!

Get MOVIN’ — RISE up!

Look up! Look out! And look within. Faith is in the everyday.

“I wish I may, I wish I might…” or

“Let the size of your goal be the size of your God.”🙌

Once you truly believe and develop the muscle, faith is always there. Like a map to follow, even when you don’t know the exact steps, there IS a way.

The road of faith.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy steps.” 💛

Another ending version: “And he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6

Up! Forward! Keep your focus on what’s ahead!

Do you feel off center? Maybe that’s exactly where you’re suppose to be.

Not in a comfort zone, but in your creative zone. Charging ahead, making a way. Finding a path and taking the steps.

“You must unlearn the habit of being someone else or nothing at all, of imitating the voices of others and mistaking the faces of others for your own.” -Hermann Hesse

The softness. The stillness. The farm.

The memories of my grandparent’s farm brings renewal.

Dear one, you ARE so much and MORE.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. That you aren’t enough. That you don’t have this and you don’t have that.

Don’t listen to it. Don’t absorb it. Those external or internal voices.

Rise above dear one. Rise to me.

I have MORE for you. I have plans FOR you. And I want to make plans WITH you.

I KNOW your faithfulness. I SEE you. I HEAR you.

Arise with me dear one. I AM with you.

Closed? Or ready to be opened? Enter with boldness.

You know what happened to me a few years ago? I stepped into faith. And I asked.

Specifically, I asked a pastor if I could meet to review a faith project with my photos. During our meeting, I shared the steps taken and asked if I could speak to a small group. He liked what I was doing to inspire faith and said he would think about it.

Two weeks later he contacted me and said my project sparked a sermon series idea he is going to do on symbols. And that one weekend for the sermon message he’d like to interview me and feature my work with the Cross. Wow!

So get this ... I asked to speak to 10 people. And it turned into two services with 200 people! 🙌

Step into faith! †

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew‬ ‭7:7‬

Great is your faithfulness!

“Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you.

“Christ himself wrote it—not with ink, but with God’s living Spirit; not chiseled into stone, but carved into human lives—and we publish it.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:3‬

Grandparent’s Day is September 13. If you’ve still got them, mail a card or call and show your love. ❤️

Mugs my sister & I gave to our grandparents in the 1980’s. I forgot about this gift until visiting my grandmother several years ago. Opening the cabinet they were prominently placed and showed the favorite status by coloring.

Years of Love. ❤️

They’ve since both passed and now I have the set of mugs in my cabinet. I love them. ❤️

Peace. And a piece.

“And she was loved,” referencing a character in a Toni Morrison book. Several months ago I watched her lovely documentary “The Pieces I Am,” learning what wove her together...the pieces.

These farm photos, from my grandparent’s farm, are part of my “Pieces I Am.”

And the farm was loved.

Did you see this? When so much is crushing in around us, double down in faith. The Cross remains.

Dusk with the pecan tree, shop and shed.

The tree was injured from a storm, losing half it’s branches, but it came back.

A test of strength. A test of deep roots.🌳

May we be rooted in faith. †

Note: Grandma picked up and shelled pecans every year. They had the best flavor!
