Walking in the Newness of Christ

ButterflyLiving was created to help Christians embrace a new identity in Christ. When a butterfly breaks free from its cocoon, they emerge as a new beautiful creation. Similarly, when we accept that we are a beloved Child of God, we can relax and begin to embrace our new identity. In Romans 6:4 Paul implores us to walk in our new identity:

"Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life no longer at sin's every beck and call! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ's sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection."

Join us as we share stories and practical examples of walking out a better altogether life as Christ followers.

How to be Present in the Moment and Learn to Focus on Your Relationships

I am a goal-oriented person and I tend to get wrapped up in achieving those goals.  My kids are used to my focus and drive and often jump on board with me (or get out of the way!) but something happened yesterday that caused me to pause and contemplate how to be present in the…

Trusting God One Step at a Time

Lately, my husband has become a weekend “tinkerer”. I thought he would appreciate having his tools near him on the carport, so he would not have to go in and out of our house. Also, his tools were taking up needed space in our already cramped utility room, so yes, a little selfish motivation on…
