Worry or Whatever

Hi,

So the last couple of days I've been listening to Hot Chelle Rae's album, Whatever a lot because it sounds like summer and it's just a fun album! On my walk today, I ended up listening to the title track a few times in a row and it got me thinking about how we need a balance in our lives of caring about things/worrying and letting things go/living with a whatever attitude.

For me, personally, it all depends on the situation, but in general I'd like to think I live a "whatever" life. There's so much in life that I could worry about or let get me down, but I like to choose to let it go and let God and not let my circumstances determine my mood...my mood should be based on the reality that my God is in control and that I'm blessed and therefore I have an unspeakable joy that isn't determined on what goes on around me or what gets said to me.

Some adults in my life, or just people in general, may view this/me as being immature and rebellious because of this way of thinking and it makes me sad because really it's not. I could either choose to walk around with the weight of worry and stress on my shoulders or I can shrug it off and live life to the fullest because I'm enjoying it. I'd hate for my last moments on this earth to be full of worry over things in the future or things that I can't control when instead I can let God take over and live in the moment.

In general I'm a really happy person and live with  peace because I know that I'm where I'm supposed to be at this time. A lot of people don't get my overwhelming desire not to leave the job I have now because I live broke half the time and although I could let this get me down I don't...I'm happy and love my job (REALLY miss it when I'm not there) and that's most important! Money is superficial and it's necessary in order to live, but besides that it doesn't really matter and I could care less about the money as long as I'm enjoying my life and feeling I'm making a difference. God, people, and love and passion for life/those around you and God are what matter...not much else.

I'm good at what I do for work and when I'm there I feel like I'm helping further His kingdom in some small way and unless God speaks to me and tells me that's not where He wants me anymore, I'm not leaving no matter how tight my finances are.

My point, is basically just that you can't let other people tell you how to live your life and you can't let fear of the unknown control it either. I know I've posted similar posts before, but it was on my mind so I figured I'd write this anyways.

I hope this post finds you living a whatever life as much as possible and that no matter what, you know that God loves you and wants the best for you!

Until Next Time!

Except the Unexpected

Hey Everyone, So as I warned you all, I didn't post much at all this summer, except that once in the beginning of June, and since, my life has been a whirlwind. Summer camp, alone, can be crazy and drag in personal aspects of life, it can be pretty exhausting, but to say I love it would be an understatement. I pray your summer was filled with as much joy as mine was! There were many, many times where I felt like I couldn't go on, and God would just come and pick me up and give me such joy, peace, and strength, it could only be credited to Him alone! Just in the last eight hours, I found out I will be staying at camp a week longer, because my apartment won't be available until then, and that my second job wouldn't be taking me back on, even though I had been pretty much guaranteed a position starting next month. However, after the first few minutes of shock, God reminded me that it was all going to be okay, and it is! I have a job lined up, just need to call tomorrow and...

A Time To Weep

Hello Beautiful People! Today is the day the Lord has made, so let us rejoice in His great goodness, shall we?! Here the weather is gorgeous out, and I'll probably go outside to do my Bible reading shortly, but first, I wanted to post something. We all know we won't live forever , and as I've said, a lot recently, it is important to love yourself and love life, buuuuut that said, there is, also, a time to weep and mourn, and it doesn't make you a bad person, if that is where you are at in life! Last post, I mentioned that, most of the time, our "problems," aren't really problems, and asked the question, "what really is a problem?" Granted, there are bad things in this world, and we will ALL face struggles and have times that we are just barely keeping our head above the water, but with God, we can all have hope that things will get better! There is a silver lining to EVERYTHING if you just take the time to look for it! I hope that, my recent inc...

Underneath

Hey, So, this has been on my mind a lot lately, and although I just posted a few minutes ago, I feel I need to post this now or I never will. If you are friends with me at all, you probably know music is a HUGE part of my life and my all time favorites, I'll defend like I know them personally, weird maybe, but it's true. You'll probably, also, know that my favorite band is DAUGHTRY and one of my favorite male artists is Adam Lambert (both of whom I want to see SO bad this summer)!! I have seen Chris before and have seen Adam as well, but I've never seen DAUGHTRY and I'm a huge enough Glambert that I'd see Adam far more than just twice, and plus he's touring with QUEEN!! You probably are wondering where in the world I'm going with this, and I might loose some readers because of it, but I feel I have to get this off my chest. I'm sure, most of you know, even if you're not a big music person that Adam Lambert is gay...quite gay...I mean I've got...
