“I should’ve given it to you before, but I was just scared. And the thing is, I’m not scared anymore.” ~ Rapunzel
I’m discovering through God’s revealing and yes, a little life coaching {Life Coaches need coaching too}, that I’ve lived with a “Tangled” heart, and I haven’t known how to fully give it away.
Now that I’ve experienced better, I’ve had enough of the old life. It’s time to claim my daughtership in Christ! God’s thoughts and ways are higher than mine.
After all these years, I’m getting to know Him.
“See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are”! ~ 1 John 3:1a
“All those days, chasing down a daydream, all those years living in a blur. All that time never truly seeing things the way they were.”
Did I accept Jesus as a little girl at five, or did I just recently get converted? I’ve actually wondered about that. Now, I know it doesn’t really matter. I am loved regardless.
He is the lover of my soul. My soul has been starving for this for so long.
I don’t mean to be silly, but as I come to Him with faith like a child more often lately, it’s as if,
“At last I see the light and it’s like the fog has lifted” {insert smile here}.
I’ve watched the movie, “Tangled” at least 20 times with my girls. Each time, and as time passes by, my heart skips a beat because I know my fog is lifting! And it’s so freeing and exciting!
The other day, my mom and I picked this song out at practically the same time. We both admitted, it meant so much. It’s a beautiful thing to be sharing this growing experience together, as mother and daughter. There is healing happening…
The “I See The Light” song stands out in this silly children’s movie like true beauty.
As I hear this song and watch the video, I swear my heart almost leaps from my chest because it’s too full of joy to be contained in such a small space!
It’s joyful when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re loved no matter what.
Jesus helps me see the light every single day. The fog is lifting, and I’m seeing more clearly… that Jesus loves me more than anything!
And I’m singing…
“And it’s warm, and real, and bright. And the world has somehow shifted.”
I know my husband loves me, but Jesus fulfills me! Sorry honey, but I know you understand {wink, wink}. Jesus IS “the man”!
It’s all glorious grace, and goodness, under His sky of heavenly lights! He makes everything worth it, even when it doesn’t “seem” alright.
“All at once everything looks different, now that I see you”
…. enjoy Him friends! Praise Him for His everlasting light, love, and life, today. And have fun doing it!
My people are asleep, so I cannot watch this right now, but I will have to come back tomorrow and give it a listen. I have seen the movie, but did not pick up on this song’s lyrics.
I am so thankful for His love AND for how He continually helps us to see it and grasp it more and more. He fulfills me, too!
Blessings, to you!

Good Morning Kimberly!
May God pour blessings of perfect love over you and your little ones today as you seek to know Him more! ~ Love, Amy
Thanks for sharing back! I do hope you get to give the song a listen today, it deeply touches me! Who knew a children’s movie could do that, right!?
Love it! So glad you shared and helped me hear this song with a new perspective…with new ears.
Oh’ awesome Kimberly! Thanks for sharing that back with me, I’m so blessed!
First of all, you are a girl after my own heart… I don’t even have kids yet and love that movie. Secondly, I appreciate the analogy of dealing with our foggy, tangled heart. Jesus IS the man! Hugs and blessings to you, Amy!
Sharita, thank you for sharing that! I can hardly wait to meet you girl! Be blessed as you see more clearly tonight.
Girlfriend thank you for reminding me to go forward having a blast. I did not come to receive Jesus until my mid 20s. Sometimes the enemy likes to help me feel discouraged about all that the days I feel were wasted before I allowed Christ into my heart. Why do I allow even a second of my day to be focused on this- it shall no longer entangle me anymore! I don’t believe God sees anything as waste. He was waiting for me the whole time. He knew what I could be and am GOING to be in Him. Cause for some celebration today? You better believe it sister. Thank you for helping me realize this. Love love love your blog!
Tracy, you just blessed my heart by sharing something so personal. JESUS is enough isn’t He! He covers everything for us. Blessings as you see more clearly, and pursue Him with joy in your heart! I’m so excited to be growing alongside you… ~ Amy
Tangled is a fav around here. Love this post!!
It’s such a beautiful movie, and very cute too! Thanks for sharing back with me sister! You bless me. ~ Amy
I love that movie! And my husband even watched (and enjoyed) it with us…but don’t tell him I said so.
I love that no matter how well we know God, there is forever more of Him to know. Happy we are discovering and growing together.

Shelly
My husband likes it too.
I do love how there’s always more to know about God. It’s so EXCITING! He is amazing… I’m so blessed by you Shelly!
Good morning, Amy.
Your phrase “under a sky of heavenly lights” reminds me of one of the names for God that I really like which is “the Father of Heavenly Lights.” Isn’t that a wonderful name for our God?
Have a great day. Thanks for letting me stop by.

Jennifer, thank YOU for sharing with me. I had forgotten about “the Father of heavenly lights” verse. It suits Him perfectly.
Thank you for coming to celebrate with me today sister!
Love it, sister!! The first time I saw that movie in the theater with my kids, I CRIED at that song!! Totally thought of my relationship with Christ. Awesome!!
Hey Nicole!
That’s so sweet! Thanks for sharing that with me girl. God bless!
Amy,
I sooo get your heart! God’s been wooing me, beckoning me to come away with him for years and although, like you, I’ve been walking with him since I was a child, it’s taken decades to fall in love with him. I mean truly fall in love with him. We’re blessed to have a patient God and understanding husbands, aren’t we?
Enjoy resting in Him this week, dear friend.
Thank you Dawn,
Thank you so very much for sharing with me! I’m enjoying my first day of fasting…
Yes, we’re BLESSED! Like you shared, after years of living, we’re falling in love with God. He has always been right in front of us, but thankfully we’re seeing Him more clearly now. It’s all grace I guess!?
I LOVE what you shared here. “I’m loved regardless.” So true and speaks to the depths of a heart. I agree and have felt that in my own story and journey in pinpointing a “conversion” time and place..Praise Jesus who comes in as lover of souls.
And I can’t believe I haven’t sesen Tangled!
Evenin’ Julie!
I’m so happy you stopped by for a little visit girl. We’re growing together!
You must watch this lovely movie!
