less is more. less stuff. more intention. less stress. more joy. joy comes from within from God, and from relationships with others. not from outward things. they may bring happiness, but that's just a feeling. feelings are fleeting. joy and contentment from the right sources last forever. let's remember that this Christmas season. let's give more than things. let's give kindness, love, our time and attention to the ones we hold most dear. while material fades, those memories will last forever. and let us remember the true reason for this season. the Word made flesh. a babe born unto us so no man should die. as a man, spears and nails pricked His flesh. the greatest sacrifice made. the sweetest gift given. all because He SO loves the world. Merry Christmas. 💗 #absolutelynoah #joy #everlasting #hosanna #jesus #minimalism

Life is beautiful. Life is hard. Life is fragile. Life is messy. Life is lovely. Life is full. 💗 #absolutelynoah

Be still in your season in life. When you're always hurrying ahead, you might miss the most beautiful, life shaping, soul changing moments. Be patient with yourself. God is making something new. Refining us into pure gold; into the souls He made us to truly be. Be still and patient in your refining fire. At times, it may be so painful, but at the end, you'll see how beautiful that pain was. God breaks us so we can see how desperately we need Him. Worry not, because the same hands that hold the stars, hold your heart, and those same hands bled for you. And His arms are always open wide. Let Him embrace you. 💗 (inspired by Jordan and her sweet heart @soulscrips #soulscrips) #jesus #encouragement #absolutelynoah

Hey, Hey! I hope you all are having an absolutely lovely Sunday! ☺️ Okay, so, confession: I love coffee, but tea still has a special place in my heart, and I drink about 4 cups of it a day. After some random research, I came to the fact that at this rate, in a year I will drink more tea than an average British person does. I'm not sure if I should be proud or worried. 😉😳 #absolutelynoah #thetealife #tea #greentea
