I'm going to apologize for the amount of @bobgoff I'll be sharing this week, but we all survived the @msrachelhollis overshare and the @jamiethevwm hilarious reposts, so I think we'll prevail. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you don't know who Bob Goff is, can I please slap you and/or send you a podcast!?!?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He says all the things that we were thinking but weren't sure about and admits to way too many, possibly illegal things. He says all these things in the nicest way possible, all while holding a very large, very unattractive mirror up to our face as the american church. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are falling short people. We are loving in boundaries, and it is KILLING us a society.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reach out. Jump out of those comfort zones. Sit down next to a homeless person and have a conversation. See the realness and the rawness in people and just plain love them for it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do all the things Jesus told us to do, and do them all in love. At all times. In all circumstances. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love should have no rules. Jesus didn't come to give us a list of demands. He came to give us freedom and show us what true love looks like.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are we imitating Him well?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lovelikeimnotscared #blog #blogger #writer #writersofinstagram #womenwhowrite #writerslife #wendyjolson #fortworth #dallas #northtexas #northtexaswomen #womenencouragingwomen #womenshowingupforwomen #lovejesuslovepeople #jesuslovingal #gather #gatherer #jesusbringshealing #jesusbringsfreedom #freedomfighter #fightingforfreedominjesus

Eating out on the road is tough. Especially when you are trying to make healthy choices, never mind living on a restrictive diet! When I travel, I always opt for a Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks, made with coconut milk, and I bring my breakfast of choice: sweet potatoes and turkey bacon! Make it the day before and reheat in the morning. If your hotel happens to not have a microwave, Shell or any other gas station will typically have one for public use. Just be obliged to buy something there first too...like a water or something. Either way, it CAN be done!! #lovelikeimnotscared #blog #blogger #writer #writersofinstagram #wendyjolson #fortworth #dallas #northtexas #womenencouragingwomen #womenshowingupforwomen #fibrowarrior #fibromyalgiaawareness #kickinfibrosbutt #autoimmunedisease #AIP #autoimmuneprotocoldiet #fibrodiet #healthandwellness #loveyourbody #healwithfood

I'm not just talking about your kids...c'mon, you know some days they're not very lovable. Admit it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm talking about those people in your life that ERRK you. That creepy weirdo who lives a few houses down, that you keep your head down when you walk by, and walk by fast. Are we getting better at loving the difficult people in our lives? Are we loving those hard to love people? Tag the #hardtolovepeople in your life! Haha, just kidding. Don't do that. That's horrible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But seriously though. Tag those people in your brain (not on social media you a-hole) and go do something loving for them this week...not because it'll make you feel good about yourself, but because they might just catch a glimpse of Jesus in you. And couldn't we all use a little more Jesus in our day... #bethelove #lovetheunlovable #youwereonceunlovabletoo #lovelikeimnotscared #lovegodlovepeople #yeseventhosepeople #blogger #womenwhowrite #writersofinstagram #theywillknowusbyourlove #wendyjolson #fortworth #dallas #dfw #northtexas #northtexaswomen #womenencouragingwomen #womenshowingupforwomen #lovejesuslovepeople #jesuslovinggal #gather #gatherer #jesusbringshealing #jesusbringsfreedom #freedomfighter #fightingforfreedominjesus #jesusdoesthecalling

Are we loving the right way? Some people say there is no right way to love, but there is definitely a wrong way. I don't want to love people out of an agenda. I am not trying to add tallies to my Christian scoreboard or souls saved. I'm not the one who saves the soul. I'm not the one who does that calling. That is all Jesus. #lovelikeimnotscared #lovegodlovepeople #ephesians5v2 #blogger #womenwhowrite #writersofinstagram #theywillknowusbyourlove #wendyjolson #fortworth #dallas #dfw #northtexas #northtexaswomen #womenencouragingwomen #womenshowingupforwomen #lovejesuslovepeople #jesuslovinggal #gather #gatherer #jesusbringshealing #jesusbringsfreedom #freedomfighter #fightingforfreedominjesus #jesusdoesthecalling

This gal right here. My #womancrushwednesday and my very best friend for 25 years!!! 😍Through all our ups and downs, no matter what, we’ve ridden out the storms of life together. If you know her you love her. You just can’t help it. She’s an amazing teacher to hundreds of lucky kids. She my kiddos Godmother. My kids love their Aunt Karen. She’s my rock. She cries when I succeed and cries with me when I fail. She picks me back up and dusts me off, even tells me when I need to get my head out of my ass. She’s exactly like my husband, which goes to show you, some people marry their fathers, I married my best friend, sans boobs 😂 Here’s to the #BFF who is more than a friend, but a lifelong sister ❤️ #wcw #myfavoritelady #lovelikeimnotscared #blog #blogger #writer #writersofinstagram #womenwhowrite #writerslife #wendyjolson #fortworth #dallas #northtexas #northtexaswomen #womenencouragingwomen #womenshowingupforwomen #lovejesuslovepeople #jesuslovingal #gather #gatherer #jesusbringshealing #jesusbringsfreedom #freedomfighter #fightingforfreedominjesus

We’re not just a little free. It’s not something we have to work towards or work on, or a prize at the end of a very hard, long, grueling race. It’s a gift. And like salvation, it’s free. When you choose to follow Jesus, you’re immediately given that freedom. However, this is one of the hardest concepts to understand and accept. We’ve been taught our whole lives that nothing in life is free, yet here God is, messing up all our thought processes and stuff, giving away true and tangible gifts, not just concepts, all willy-nilly. And here we are doubting Him. The One who created our intricately designed fingerprints. The One who knew us before we were even conceived, created in His image. Don’t doubt Him. Don’t doubt His goodness. Don’t doubt His love for you. Don’t doubt that He can free you from any chain, any shackle, any burden, whether self-inflicted or not. Don’t doubt. Do yourself a favor and grab that freedom. Don’t wait. You won’t regret it. #lovelikeimnotscared #blog #blogger #writer #writersofinstagram #womenwhowrite #writerslife #wendyjolson #fortworth #dallas #northtexas #northtexaswomen #womenencouragingwomen #womenshowingupforwomen #lovejesuslovepeople #jesuslovingal #gather #gatherer #jesusbringshealing #jesusbringsfreedom #freedomfighter #fightingforfreedominjesus
