This is why he won...

May 21, 2009

Can't wait till his album comes out! So talented!

← This song describes my life right nowProof that I'm still alive →

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. 

We want to hear YOUR IDEAS!!! ❤️💕 It’s the week after Valentines and before we move on too quickly we always want to pause and reflect. This will take all of 5 minutes, make the time for this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grab your copy of Sacred Holidays: Less Chaos, More Jesus (or order it online at @amazon @target @walmart @barnesandnobel or in @lifeway stores) and turn to page 66-67. This is my favorite part of the book—this is where YOU MAKE IT YOURS! We’ve talked often about how my hope for the book is that it will feel like your grandmothers recipe cards. That all these hand written “holiday recipes” that you add in and note to remove, will become one of your and your family’s most treasured things. We aren’t just changing things for us in this 5 minute reflect, we are changing generations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be sharing some new ideas I added to my section today, that aren’t included in the book, when I email out to our @sacredholidays email subscribers. If you aren’t already signed up to get emails from us, what are you waiting for? We send encouraging, helpful tips, and freebies! Click the link in the @sacredholidays profile or simply go to www.sacredholidays.com and sign up at the bottom of the page. (After you’ve done that email hello@sacredholidays.com and we will send you the list of new ideas!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We want to hear your ideas? What would/will you record in the journaling section? The questions are:
💕 What has worked?
❤️ What hasn’t worked?
💕 What do you want to try in the future?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 Head over to @sacredholidays and share your best Valentines ideas and tips!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can’t wait to hear any and all Valentines Day ideas that you’ve loved doing, will never do again, or heard and want to try! 😘 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. ❤️ Coming to YOUR church, fave conference, or local women’s event is one of the most fun thing I get to do. Coming to your events happens to be so much more fun because it’s like getting to meet people that are online besties in person. 😘😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your church has a women’s event—Retreat, Christmas Ladies Night, or other gathering—I’d LOVE to come be the speaker for it. I love going to churches and conferences all of the U.S., but I especially love coming to wherever all of you, my online besties, are at!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s how it works:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📱 Tell your women’s director/pastor or fave conference leadership team that we are friends and you’d love for me to come speak at your next event.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏼 You can tag them in this post or send them to my speaking page on my website (link in profile). (I share more details there of what it’s like to work with me and they can preview other talks I’ve given, check out my schedule, and other FAQs.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😉 Then peer-pressure... I mean encourage them to fill out the form to have me come to your event (I typically pencil groups in as soon as I get a request form from them to secure the date, while we work out the details).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So go to the speaking link in my profile or go to http://www.beckykiser.com/start-here. Or if you aren't the decision maker, tag those who are or email them the link to the website.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😘 Cannot wait to come see you face-to-face! Teaching God's Word and breathing fresh air into you and women like you so that you can go and live the very life God called you to live.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love you all so! If you have questions, just email me (hello@beckykiser.com), comment, or DM. 😘 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!! 👇🏼 REALLY EXCITING NEWS + WAY FOR YOU TO EARN A FREE COPY OF THE BOOK!!!! We are launching the Book Club to go with the Sacred Holidays book and @LifeWay is giving away a copy of the Sacred Holidays book to the first 50 groups that sign up (the Guide for Groups is free when you sign up)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go here to learn more: http://www.sacredholidays.com/the-book-club/ (link in @sacredholidays profile)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The goal and the the magic of groups, is this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👊 When you do something with others you are far more likely to stick with it. Don’t let this be a book that gathers dust on the shelf and guilt as holidays continue to pass by with good intentions but no follow through. Now is the best time to get started! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡 When you gather as a group you get to share ideas with one another of what works and what doesn’t. You will fill in the journaling spaces in the book—making this book your custom resource for awesome holidays that are sacred, holy and set apart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👯‍♀️ Community is a gift from God, one Jesus modeled for us often. We invite others in not because it’s easy, but because it’s best. They sharpen us and refine us. Our holidays will be better, but only because we will be better. The chaos isn’t lessened because it magically disappears, but because we focus more on Jesus together!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you waiting for??!! Go here to sign your group up: http://www.sacredholidays.com/host-a-group/ (click link in the @sacredholidays profile)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏽 Tag any friends who you think would want to host a group (and get all free book) and/or join your awesome group! This is easy, fun, and it will change your life by changing the way you approach and experience holidays! 🙌🏽
