Running Wild And Free

The suitcases are ready.

Hot coffees in hand. And we’re off on an adventure. A road trip to a new destination.

The freedom of being free.

The surprise.

All things are new.

Running wild and free under His protection.

Isn’t this what we long for?

Freedom to run our race WILD and FREE within our lane.


There, in this sweet spot is His guidance, protection, favor, and strength for the journey.

There we thrive, and know Him more.

There we run wild and free and know who and whose we are.

We can support others.

We can encourage those a few steps behind us.

We can pass batons and move into our future leading well and full and okay with the gifts God has given others, that differ from ours.

You can sing, I can’t, and that is okay. You sing your heart out.

I’ll write and teach my heart out.

We can.

As long as we’re giving our best, passing batons well, and living forward, leaning into all God has for us, and giving our best encouragement out. We can.

Where the leaves are turning a vibrant fiery orange and red.

Where the cool air beckons and the hot coffee calls.

Where inspiration flows.

Where we run wild and free!

– Joelle Povolni

P.S. Don’t let the fire leave your bones:

A candle flickers in the wind as the wind tries to blow out the light, but the light remains. The fire in your heart burns bright for the Lord. Let it burn so bright that no wind can blow it out. Let it illuminate your way and be a light to all those around you.

These words were handed to me on a card at a Pink Impact Women’s Conference held by Gateway Church. Every woman I was with received a different message on their card. I was in tears then, and I framed this card. Today, I’m passing these words onto you with much love.

Because He is, I am.

I witnessed the securities of this life being stripped away. I thought I knew God. I had faith, then life slammed into my theology. I questioned God. How could He stand by and allow my world to fall apart? I grasped for human help, no one came to my rescue. I began to pursue God

No Room For Shame

Life is hard enough as it is, so when a modern convenience you count on stops working it feels like the sky is falling. A first world problem I know, but the day the electric outlet box for our dryer was repaired I felt free again. It’s so wild how such a small thing can

There are times God has to practically shove us out of our nest and send us flying into the unknown, because we’re not willing to take a risk on our own. Whether it’s God’s plans or ours sometimes we just need to move. This is exactly where I was when we moved from Colorado to
