Eyes up
Ears up
Tears up
Give your fears up
Look up
Faith up
Rise your flag up
On your knees
Rise up
Wake up.
Wake up, now, love
Your prayers are not wishes.
Your weapons not metal or swords
They’re the word of the Lord
They’re true
Jesus lives in you
Cmon church, rise up
Come out of your slumber
Get down on your knees.
Your weapons are not just words
It’s my spirit living in you
Your time is now
Raise your voice
Lift a shout
They battle’s begun,
We call alive, every one
You’re a valley of bones
Come alive in your skin
Be no longer troubled
With the weight of your sin
I have made you free
Walk no more in chains
Come alive, come alive
Come alive again
The world needs that light.
I gave it to you
You can no longer hide it,
No more, that is true
Come out from the shadows
We’re waiting for you
Hey, I'm Courtney, a pretty ordinary girl who thinks we've all been called to an extraordinary life and love story with God. I'm passionate about family, faith, motherhood, and the adventure of every day. I write lots of words, mostly because I can’t help it- and I think it's one of the things I was born to do. I hope that something I write encourages you, to walk in your own unique purpose and calling, set free to love and give it away, starting wherever you are today. That's what Courting the Extraordinary is all about. Finding the good all around you, and giving it away. Finding, too, the God of all goodness who wants to walk with you.
I love quiet mornings, coffee, prayer and “work” before sunrise. Quality time with my family is my jam. I can be found grinning ear to ear when we're out on an adventure. Whether that's in our own backyard or exploring someplace new all-together, I’ll for sure note something beautiful about nature aloud-and maybe repeatedly, ha!. Life is a beautiful, precious gift, and an adventurous path to travel! We might as well learn how to love.
