Little bit of May. 🌸
Birthdays and derby and Maya Collection grand opening. Lots of coffee, celebrating some hard work and sweet time with sweet friends.

May marked the end of a season worth celebrating! God carried me through long months of opening a shop with our team that was as hard as it was rewarding and I feel proud of it and grateful for the ways it pushed me and challenged me!

Got the opportunity to participate and finish a 10 month long discipleship program that was a blessing in more ways than I can count. Each book taught me something God knew I needed and changed me in ways I didn’t know needed changing.

Sometimes when you’re in it you’re just moving along trying to survive and get to the finish line that feels so far away. But each step each day brings you one step closer to the goal and at the end you can look backward and see how small steps make big things come to life!

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” 🌸 James 1:2-3

I thank God for this creative spirit He put inside my bones and the places that allow me the freedom to express that!

Work is good and honorable to the Lord and I feel so grateful that I love what I do, even when it’s hard and I want to give up, at the end of the day, there is not much that beings me as much joy as creating!

I grew up going to the track as a little girl with my aunt and grandma on Saturdays. I always bet the long shot, the grey horse or anything with double letters in its name because that’s what my grandma did and she won a lot.

Back then everything was cheaper and the exactas paid way more! It’s changed a lot over the years as most things in life do. It gets flashier, more prestigious and expensive with every year and most people around here aren’t convinced that’s a good thing because it can often feel like the track where they came from.

🐎

People often complain that our famous racetrack was built on $2 betters and they would be right. People feel left out of a place they can no longer afford. And sometimes I feel all those things, but I cannot help to feel at the same time such enthusiasm for everyone else around the world getting the chance to experience what we have in our own back yard every other day of the year.

I love that people get to experience our city in a way they never would any other time. I love the pride we have, not just in a horse race, but in the place we call home. A place where people are authentically friendly and are proud of where they come from. I love that so many people get to experience what I got to grow up doing regularly because it really is something.

There is no other place I’d rather be this time of year and there’s no other place I’d rather live. And I’m so happy for a tiny moment in time, some people get to feel what we know, on the first Saturday in May, there is no place like this place.

Each year I usually write some kind of post about how doing the right thing is typically the hard and unpopular thing. And how it’s easier to join the crowd than sit alone at the Cross.

Each year I’m reminded of how fickle people are and how the people were all in with God until they weren’t. How going with the flow is much easier than standing alone with Jesus. But am I really all that different?

It’s been a hard few years in my walk with God and I really had to ask myself if I would be any better than those people who all walked away when Jesus wasn’t what they expected and didn’t come to do what they thought He would for them?

***

I always hope I’ll choose life over death. The narrow path over the wide one. His way over the world’s way. And more importantly my way. But those things are easy to write and say when life is good and things aren’t hard. It’s much harder to actually be true of you when God feels absent and worse, apathetic.

It’s not that I’ve ever wanted to walk away from God. But die to myself while living - that’s a completely different story. Laying down all that I am, desire and hope for in this life at the foot of the Cross sounds really spiritual until you actually have to do it. That part, it’s not so much fun.

***

Sometimes that looks like a bad habit and other times that looks like a dream you had. Sometimes it looks like sacrificing money or walking away from a job and sometimes it looks like a complete death of all that you used to be.

But that’s the invitation to follow Jesus. Same as it was all those thousands of years ago. That’s the cost. Everything. And looking back at that first Easter, It humbles my pride to see myself in those who decided it wasn’t worth the cost but more importantly encourages me to choose differently.

And to never forget that even if we’re all alone on this narrow road, He will never not be worth it. Even if we lose every single thing on this earth we love, Jesus said we won’t lose our soul. And that is Grace poured out for us. Because He is good. 🖤
