Chasing butterflies 🦋 . Can I have a real momen

Chasing butterflies 🦋
.
Can I have a real moment?
I often post a lot of “encouraging” content & I love it. Deep down, I truly believe God has given me a gift to encourage and inspire people to see their full potential. That being said, the last few weeks have been extremely heavy (& discouraging) for me. A number of things have been weighing on my heart and mind, and it’s been downright painful at times.

But God -

I realized today that in the midst of this heavy month, God has surrounded me with community. I’ve been extremely busy with family, friends, travel, and summer plans & most of these things I didn’t even orchestrate. It’s almost as if God gave me a busy month, full of such good things, because He knew my heart would need it.

I’ve had so much fun this month. I’ve also cried a lot this month. And the biggest thing I’ve been left with is Gods love.

God really loves me deeply. So much so that He gave me exactly what I needed without me even praying for it, seeking it, or realizing that I needed it….It’s His kindness for me. 💛

I write all of this to say that God sees YOU too. And maybe (no, I am certain) that He is loving you intentionally right where you are, if only you would look for it.

Moving forward, I’m challenging myself to “chase the butterflies” —a term I made up last night. It’s my belief that there is God-gifted beauty all around us, but we must open our eyes notice it.

Kind of random, I know, but these are just a few unfiltered thoughts from Natalie Brown.

Okay…that is all. If you read this full post you’re a real one!

As much as I’m a homebody, I also love to travel 🌎

As much as I love to write, I equally love to sing (for fun!) and rap 🤣 (terribly but unapologetically)

As much as I love reading, my current TV obsession is “The Resident”

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down with some incredible women at Everlasting Love TV ✨

Sappy Sister Post Pt 2 ~

Today is @nicole_jbrown3 bday!!!!

There’s so much I could say about Nicole. To know her is to love her. Nicole is the type of person you can turn up or down with. She’s chill and outgoing, creative and humble, fun & fabulous. The type of person you can’t help but have a good time with.

Today, I celebrate you NickiBJ3!

Thanks for the many laughs, concerts, sermonettes, conversations that should’ve been podcasts, prayers, Disney Channel imitations, clap backs, celebrations,
and so much more.

Nicole, this next “book” is going to be amazing! I’m excited to watch it all unfold ❤️

Sappy Sister Post Pt 1 -

Yesterday my sister @nadia_brown1113 graduated from high school. 😭 🎉✨

For the last 3 years I have pestered this girl, prayed for this girl, and watched this “girl” become a young woman. And now, a new chapter awaits her.

If you know Nadia, you know she is extremely talented, courageous, hilarious, and kind. She is an entrepreneur, a visionary, and a leader. I am proud of her!

I love you bounger! The best is yet to come. ✨

It’s easy to read headlines and re-post popular hashtags (& don’t get me wrong, this IS important), but today, I challenge you as I challenge myself to not just say things need to change, and not just pray for things to change, but to ask God to give us the COURAGE to be apart of that change.

Let’s ask God to awaken the Esther spirit within us all. ✨

Jesus, thank you 😭

People always ask where my peace comes from...& the truth is it comes from what Jesus did for me today!

There are some things I need to leave at the cross this year. Maybe you have some things you need to leave too.

I don’t want this day to just be another day. Today is the reason we can have true hope.

Every first Thursday I send out an email/video called Words of Hope. This month is all about the Hope we have in the Lord! If you want to see this months full video, it’s in my bio 💛

Thank God for Good Friday

You’re invited!!!
My sister (@tashi_b97 ) is hosting a VIRTUAL pound class next month (1/08 at 7 PM CST & 1/09 at 12 PM CST)!

Pound is an incredibly fun workout - think Zumba meets Pilates meets strength training..yes, it’s a vibe!

Tickets are $25 which includes class entry and pound sticks (sent to your address before the event).

She’ll be hosting other classes in the future for $5 (not including sticks) so now is a good time to get yours!

I want to gift ONE ticket, so if you’re interested comment below and I’ll pick one person to buy their ticket tonight! 🤗

Can I be honest? 👀 It’s a lot easier to vote

Can I be honest? 👀
It’s a lot easier to vote than actually show up and invest in the issues I care about..*

It’s much quicker to stand in line and check a few boxes, than it is to volunteer, pray, call senators, etc.

Don’t get me wrong...I believe voting IS important, but so is getting involved on a ground level.

As we close up Election season here in the US, I feel challenged to not let my voice remain in the ballot box (or on my social media feed). I’m convicted to take note of how I can take action this November & beyond. Today, I challenge you to do the same.

*ps: I recognize voting is not easier for everyone. There are very real forces that deny, hinder, and suppress the votes of others.

*pps: it’s been said, but it’s worth repeating - no matter who wins this week, God is on the throne.

I finally get it....

When Proverbs 31 says, “and she laughs without fear of the future.” It’s not because she knows the future...it’s because she trusts the one who holds her future! 😭🤍

I’m praying to become a woman that does the same! Even (especially!) in a year like 2020.
