Picture of Good and Evil

December 16, 2009

Yes that's me stuck between Darth Vader and Jesus. Just your typical Saturday night.

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm Becky Kiser. I'm a wife, mom to 3 girls, writer, speaker, and founder of Sacred Holidays. I love Jesus and desire to see women follow Him more fully as we go hard after Him and what He has called us to.

Making out since 2007... or was it 2006? 😂😍🤣 #wehatevalentinesbutloveeachother #thosesideburns 😳🤣

Need a last minute but also super meaningful and significant Valentine’s Day gift for a friend, teacher, mom, neighbor, or maybe just yourself? Go grab a copy of @sacredholidays from your local @lifeway store (or online) because they are $5 until Valentine’s Day!!! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, for the same price as a latte from @starbucks or 6-count from @chickfila, you can give your favorites a resource that will not just make every Valentine’s Day more significant but all the other holidays too (🎆🐇☀️🎃🦃🎄🎈).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m sharing a few of my favorite ways to spruce up the gift for Valentine’s Day. All of these were found at @target and cost anywhere from $1-8, so your total for the gift is $6-13 + meaningful holidays for the rest of them (#priceless 😉).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏽 What would be your fave Valentine treat to pair with the book? ❤️

Do hard things. Have big dreams and go after them. This girl wants to be a professional dancer so bad. And we found out that the #houstonballet has summer intensives you can audition for. We let her know this is a professional place and it will be hard to get in. She didn’t care, she wanted to try. And this look on her face was just the best ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have leaned a lot from her this week. She gets that the process is worth it. That there is something to be learned from the process even if it ends in “failure.” Because sometimes you give it your all and God writes a story you never could’ve dreamed up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, what a gift to have friends like @kelramsey who will be her dance mom when I’m gone and speak all the words of truth into her before she went back. 😘

Anyone else at or watching @ifgathering? I came with my friends on the @sacredholidays team— @kellynbosch @mollyjeanparker @building07 — and we are having so much fun!!! Would LOVE to give you a hug if you are here! 😘 #ifgathering2019 #sacredholidays
.
Also this song has been my song this past year, an anthem of sorts. It was awesome to sing it last night with 4,000 other women, knowing hundreds of thousands more were singing the same words all over the world as they watched live.
.
Biggest takeaway last night: TAKE MORE RISKS!!!! Y’all go watch the playbacks of last night, and do not miss the last session from @christinecaine. 🔥

I wrote a 5-Day Valentine's Day reading plan all about True Love on @YouVersion (The Bible App on your phone). I promise it isn't cheesy, and I also promise that it isn't (all) about love relationships. It's more than that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you have the Bible App, and if you don't, let that be your first step, then download this today and let's get our hearts set on the Truest Love of all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe through these pics if you need step-by-step instructions on how to download a reading plan through the Bible App or follow the prompts below: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Download or open the Bible App. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Click on the "Plans" tab at the bottom of the screen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Type "Sacred Holidays" in the search bar. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Click on the plan titled "Sacred Holidays: A Devotional Leading Up to Valentine's Day."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Click the green button: "Start Plan."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BONUS: Then tag a friend or two, and encourage them to do this plan with you. Then set up a coffee or Marco Polo or something that feels face-to-face-ish to discuss. Let's hold each other to both receive this great love and give this great love to others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏼 Tag any friends who you think would love this! Also, I’d love to hear your fave verse(s) on love. ❤️

Making friends as a grown up can be a really hard thing to do. Most women I know struggle with feeling lonely. We can have hundreds or even thousands of internet “friends” and still feel lonely and like no one truly knows us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Friendships can be hard. They can be really hard the closer we get.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Friendships can be inconvenient, requiring more time we don’t have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How’s all this for encouraging? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hear this though: BUT friendships are also totally awesome and 100% worth investing in. To have someone(s) who know you, really know you, is one of the greatest gifts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we have to let down our walls and our guards. We’ve all been burned in the past, we all have our stories and carry our own baggage into these new relationships. Find the kind of friends who are willing to show up in yoga pants, dry shampoo, with coffee in hand ready to help you unpack those bags.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find people who you can laugh with... and who will laugh at you too—those are the best. 😂🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find people who you can be vulnerable with and share all the ways you are not OK... and also all the big awesome dreams you have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find a friend who can cheer you on and bring you back to reality when needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find a friend who speaks truth to you... even when that’s the last thing you need to hear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏼 I’d love to hear what are some of the ways you’ve made some awesome friends as an adult. Or any other advice you have for making friends as a grown up. Or simply tag one of your friends and tell them you are grateful to have them! 😘

#GetYourFebruaryOn starts today with @sacredholidays! Every day until Valentine’s Day wear something red ❤️ or pink 💕 to help your heart and mind focus more on what this season is all about—LOVING OTHERS WELL. The same way that the Christmas lights on the tree bring out your whimsy emotions for Christmas 🎄 and wearing green on St Pattys Day ☘️ brings out the fun, wearing 💕❤️ for the next two weeks will do the same for your heart. Let it be your constant reminder that the focus is on loving others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This season isn’t about us or what we are receiving emotionally or physically from others. It’s about focusing on how we can better love others in big and small ways. Let it prompt you to pray for others, do random acts of kindness, and to intentionally love those around you well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏼 Who is in? Comment with your best pink or red emoji or gif!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Be sure to tag @sacredholidays and use #getyourfebruaryon when you post so we can find you! Ahhhh it’s gonna be so fun!! 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.P.S. I’m all for peer-pressure when it’s good, so feel free to tag some friends to join in with us!! 👇🏼
