INSTAGRAM IS MY INSTA-JAM / @ELLIEBE_

“Don’t blink, life goes faster than you think.” Or in my case, “Blink away the happy tears as you take your younger sister’s maternity photos with your mom and other sister there and also remember her first day of ballet?” 🤩
Sometimes Instagram captions don’t do stories justice. I post them, hoping that you can squeeze your eyes shut and truly be transported to a place through the screen, experience the emotions I’m trying to convey. Joy. Sadness. Excitement. Encouragement. Being a storyteller is a messy business, but such a beautiful one. The story of these two and how their lives have intertwined with mine is one I could write a book about. Two of my best friends becoming parents. It was so much fun to dust off my camera for these three. T-minus six weeks until we meet you baby girl! 💛
Sometimes, flipping through my journals, I see these moments I have had with the Holy Spirit. It takes me back to when I couldn’t write down fast enough what I was experiencing and feeling. And sometimes I JUST GOTTA SHARE. He’s up to something, y’all. To the one who is waiting, and feels like everyone else is getting their chance at love: “Last night I realized that part of me believed that I didn’t deserve that kind of love. That everyone else got it. But I was, am, the exception. And I just reminded myself of truth. that when I didn’t want God, He wanted me. He chose me, hand-picked me for himself. He loved me with a fantastic love. And not only that, because of the Holy Spirit, I can live in that love. I can rest in it. I can accept it. It’s mine for the taking – abundant, intimate, life-giving love. Thank you, Jesus.” - April 28, 2017
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the word FREEDOM has been everywhere this week. Multiple times have I seen it, heard it, thought about it. I was finally like, “OKAY HOLY SPIRIT YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION, what do you want me to know about freedom?” ✨ “Let me be clear, the Anointed One has set us free—not partially, but completely and wonderfully free! We must always cherish this truth and stubbornly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.” (Galatians 5:1) Jesus didn’t die and rise again three days later so we could choose thought patterns and lies that go against what He says about us. He bought our freedom so that we could live abundantly free. So that we could choose the truth about Him, ourselves and others. It’s not easy, some days it’s a minute by minute choice. But it’s the best one, the best way. Freedom is YOUR portion, today and always.
