Butterfly Thoughts with Kelly Savage

Sitting With God

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

What if, before the prayers, the plans, the questions, and the requests, He is simply inviting us to sit with Him?

In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts with Kelly Savage, we explore the possibility that God's greatest desire may not be our performance, but our presence. Join me as we reflect on what happens when we stop striving and simply spend time with the One who loves us most.

The Gift Of Feeling Safe: Acceptance Without Judgement

What makes someone feel safe?

Not just physically safe, but emotionally and spiritually safe.

In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts with Kelly Savage, we explore one of the most healing gifts we can offer another person: acceptance without judgment. While acceptance doesn't mean approving of everything or abandoning truth, it does mean seeing people as God sees them—with dignity, compassion, grace, and love.

Kelly shares a personal story about how acceptance helped break down walls she didn't even realize she was carrying and how God often uses people to help us experience His love in tangible ways.

Join us as we reflect on what it means to create safe spaces for others, trust God with their journey, and extend the same grace we've received ourselves.

When Weeds Become Our Teacher

What purpose do weeds serve?

That simple question led to an unexpected lesson about faith, healing, and the condition of our hearts.

In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts with Kelly Savage, Kelly shares how an early morning walk and a surprising observation sparked a deeper reflection. Just as weeds can reveal the condition of the soil beneath the surface, the recurring struggles, emotions, fears, and triggers in our lives may reveal areas where God is inviting us to heal and grow.

Together, we'll explore how the "weeds" that keep showing up in our lives can become our teacher—pointing us toward deeper roots, greater self-awareness, and God's transforming work within us.

Pause. Reflect. Choose.

You may discover that the very thing you've been trying to remove from your life is actually revealing where God wants to do His greatest work.

A Clean Slate With Every Sunrise

What if every sunrise was more than just the start of a new day?

In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts with Kelly Savage, Kelly shares a reflection inspired by early morning walks before sunrise and the powerful reminder that God gives us a fresh start each day. While it's easy to wake up carrying yesterday's mistakes, disappointments, or worries, God's mercy invites us to begin again.

Join Kelly as she explores the beauty of forgiveness, growth, and hope—and how a simple sunrise can remind us that no matter what happened yesterday, God is still writing our story today.

Scripture reminds us that His mercies are new every morning, and this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and receive that truth for yourself.

If you've been carrying regret, feeling discouraged, or simply needing a reminder of God's grace, this episode is for you.

3 Signs God May Be Asking You to Slow Down

Have you ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or spiritually disconnected — and wondered if maybe God is gently trying to get your attention?

In this episode of Butterfly Thoughts with Kelly Savage, we reflect on 3 signs God may be asking you to slow down. Not because you are failing. Not because you are falling behind. But because He may be inviting you to come closer, make room for stillness, and hear His voice more clearly.

Together, we’ll look at how constant exhaustion, spiritual disconnection, and a schedule with no room for quiet can become gentle reminders to pause, reflect, and return to God’s peace.

Sometimes slowing down is not a setback. Sometimes it is the very place where God restores your soul, renews your mind, and reminds you what matters most.

Pause. Reflect. Choose.

 

Pause, Reflect, Choose: A Butterfly Thought on Transformation

Pause, reflect, choose. Kelly Savage invites listeners to slow down and bring their thoughts to God, showing how a single, honest moment of reflection can spark real change.

She explains reflection as a purposeful pause to examine thoughts, feelings, and choices and to invite God’s truth to renew the mind and guide decisions.

This episode introduces the upcoming Reflections book (coming in September) and encourages prayerful questions, quiet journaling, and small steps toward peace, purpose, and transformation.

The Junk That Can Heal a Heart

Sometimes the smallest, most ordinary moments carry the greatest power to heal. In this episode, Kelly shares a touching story about how something as simple as giving away an old light turned into a divine appointment — reminding us that God can use anything to reach a heart in need.

With warmth and gentle wisdom, Kelly invites you to slow down, listen for the Holy Spirit’s whispers, and trust that no act of kindness or obedience is ever wasted. One person’s “junk” might just be the treasure that helps another soul heal.

✨ Be encouraged to look for the butterfly thoughts — those gentle nudges from God — that can transform lives one day at a time, one thought at a time.

Who Loves Wisdom?

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 our lives and everyday issues so we can grow in wisdom.

Proverbs, a collection of concise, metaphorical statements, offers timeless guidance on everyday matters, relationships, work, and personal integrity.

Join me as we explore the practical wisdom of Proverbs, starting with chapter one.

*Do you want more wisdom?  Do you want to grow?  

If so, dive in with me and learn timeless wisdom that still applies for our busy today's world in all areas of our life.  

My prayer for you today is that we all start with reverence, humility, and the choice to seek wisdom. May we open our hearts, minds, and ears to the opportunities for growth and moral improvement that Proverbs offers. Thank you for joining me on this journey toward wisdom. In the name of Jesus, amen.

 

All my best and until next time!

Next Week, God

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 heart of what He wants out of me; my next steps and how to serve Him.  I had nothing particular in my mind of what to do or even my own ideas.  I was opened to what He wants.  Or was I?

I asked Him to let me know what he wants, what He desires, AND I asked him to give me the ears to hear as well. The ears to hear is very important the heart to understand is very important.  I prayed for both things since I didn’t want to miss it.

Also, my prayers for these things have been a bit ongoing over the last couple of months.  I don’t know if I wasn’t quite settling down enough, quieting myself enough, or could it possibly be that I just didn’t like what I heard him and laid on my heart?

So, here it comes.

One day in church recently I was sitting quietly, and I was having my butterfly thoughts fly in, AKA Holy Spirit whispers. My heart was prepared and softened and my ears were attentive to what He had to say.

God’s instructions came. It was a simple knowing in my heart and the request was small.

I could have rejoiced knowing I pray specifically, He speaks specifically, I receive a knowing in my heart, a request from Him, and we move on to our next step.  I could have rejoiced in that.  I should have rejoiced in that.

I don’t know what happens in our human limited brain and knowledge, and all of our feelings and stuff, but I almost immediately said “how about next week God”?

What!? What did I just do?!

 I have been asking God for months of what I need to do, what He desires my next step to be knowing that the Bible says be faithful in the small things and then greater things will come.

I know.  Some of you are thinking, “why do that?”, or some of you are thinking, “yeah, I have been there”.

I am confessing right now.  I have limited knowledge, I have limited understanding against what He knows, understands, and merely of who HE is.  I do know this and also know He is constant; He is mighty and He is all knowing.  If He takes care of the smallest of animals and provides, He will do for me and you.  He knows what is best.  For everyone.  He knows what we need beyond what we think we need.  He knows what our wants will do to us sometimes and not for us.  He is all knowing.  He is all powerful and wants a relationship with us.   And He will not steer us wrong when we listen.

Did I immediately obey after I even knew I was wrong and was convicted in my heart.  Sadly, no, however, a day or so after that, I prayed and sure enough, the topic wrapped around again and came to my heart?  Indeed, it did.  Did I obey.  Indeed, I did.

You see, God does want us to have a relationship with Him.  A real one.  A personal one.  He wants us to communicate with Him and hear Him with Holy Spirit whisperings and as He speaks through His Word.  Obeying Him and His word is a part of our personal relationship with Him and a part that sometimes might not make total sense to us, but requires steps taken in faith in Him.

Why does obedience matter?  Here are just 3 good reasons.

• God’s instructions are for our good. He wants good things for us, and He knows what is best.
• It keeps us attuned to His Spirit’s leading.
• Blessings follow obedience.  God wants to bless us, and the obedience opens the door to His blessings.  Psalms 119:32
• True transformation occurs when we act on what we have heard.  James 1:22 compares hearing God’s Word without obeying it to glancing at our reflection in a mirror and forgetting. True heart transforming comes from be a doer and not just a listener.

Here’s to our spiritual ears being attuned, our heart being softened and prepared for true transformation taking place continuously in our lives.

Until next time,

Kelly Savage
