Shame rarely announces itself. It doesn't knock on the door and ask permission to enter. Instead, it slips in quietly through a thought, a memory, a regret, a wound, or a failure. In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts, Kelly shares a personal reflection about how quickly shame can appear, how differently it sounds from God's conviction, and why God's answer has never been hiding—but healing. If yo...

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, and fix more, what if God is asking something different?

Good morning! Kelly Savage here with the Butterfly Thoughts Podcast. Happy Sunday! In this episode of Scriptures, Whispers, and Prayers, we delve into the profound wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. I have a deep love for learning and knowledge, but even more so for wisdom. There's a distinct difference between being book smart and learning all kinds of knowledge and applying that knowledge in...

I told God “Next week”. Did you ever tell God “Wait”, “not now”, “maybe later”, or just a big fat “I don’t think so”? I just told God, in church, “next week”.  Yes, that is correct.  In church. Let me back up and explain so you can really see why I am confessing to you right now. I was talking to God recently in the last several months and asking him to speak to me.  I wanted Him to lay on my hear...

IF.   I've been thinking about the word IF.  It a very small word.  Two letters.    But, such an important life-changing word as well.   Let me explain my thoughts behind this.   And no pun intended but IF you apply the condition of the word IF in your life, that is when action comes, rubber meets the road, results happen, growth happens, or things just get done.    What does that even mean?   Wel...

I think we have all heard the phrase “You’re killing me”.  From the movie “Sandlot”, we jokingly use the phrase “You’re killing me Smalls”. It’s funny.  Makes me laugh. I have said it. More than once. So, what made yesterday different when I heard these same words? Today was different when I heard the phrase. Let’s call it a reflective moment, growth, light bulb moment, or whatever we want to labe...

In this episode, I share a personal experience of receiving a butterfly thought from the Holy Spirit about the importance of focusing on what matters most.  As I reflect on my life and strive for a work-life balance, I realize that I have not been putting God first as I should. I offer a prayer of repentance, asking for strength and guidance to achieve a God-work-life balance.  Through this prayer...

Today.  In a very still, quiet time, I began to reflect on the quietness and my butterfly thought was in the form of a memory that I haven't thought of for years.   About 12 - 13 years ago, I had a group of women that gathered at my house weekly.  Small group.  No more than 7 and sometimes only 3.  We meditated, prayed and journaled.  I knew journaling was going to be the key so therefore, that wa...

“What’s Your Problem?”   Today, I was presented with an issue.  A problem.  A conundrum.  Whatever you want to call it.   It wasn’t mine but someone else’s issue who was talking to me about it.    They were trying to figure out a solution. Come to a resolve.  Work it through and get an answer that fixed the problem.   I cared about this issue since I cared about the person and wanted to help, so I...

Today, the sermon lesson was during a walk, with me and God.  Oh, and my dog.  I talk to my dog, Loki, all the time on our walks.  But sometimes, like today, I was reflecting and talking to God.  Praying and reflecting.  Loki was just my loyal side kick.   You see, I am one that believes sermons can be taught anywhere, at any time and sometimes by the oddest circumstances. Sometimes lessons are ta...

My audio journal of giving thanks for 2022! I have so many things to be grateful for, express gratitude to, but....there is also other sides and perspectives.  I live in hope, faith, love and strive for the perspective that things could always be worse.  Why?  Because it is true. Today, I express my thankfulness for many things and I am sure I forgot about a few hundred things :) however, it is ve...

Don’t Care FREEDOM!   That’s the name of this episode!  Let me say it one more time louder. DON’T CARE FREEDOM!   That is exactly what I experienced tonight!   No, it doesn’t mean that I don’t care about others, or things, especially things that really matter.   It is a freedom that you get when you reached a level of freedom within yourself.   I am working out of town this week and I am trying to...

I saw nothing but dead trees, bushes, an abandoned bus stop and many more unappealing sights. Nothing to make me stop and admire beauty around me.  There was nothing to admire. Or was there? I looked beneath me.   Let me explain. I was on a walk looking for some "roses to smell" and pictures to take.  For a while there was nothing to make me stop or even go "ahhhh". I stopped at an area to take a...
