Waiting For Tomorrow

Hi Everyone, So unless you are just coming to my blog, and this is the first post you have read of mine, you know for a fact, that I'm a born-again Christian...at least I hope you know that for a fact! Anyways, my point is, that I'm not one to not bring up my faith in Jehovah on a very regular basis, however, proclaiming my faith is quite different then living it out. I can easily say that I love Jesus, but unless I live it out on a daily basis, it means nothing; it's all just empty words. (James 2:14-26) I would REALLY like to think that my life exemplifies Christ in pretty much everything I say and do, but I'm human so, obviously, that is not the case! Without going into details, God has convicted my soul about an area of my life that I let my sinful nature take over, and it really humbled me. I do not want there to be a space in between me and my Creator and I 100% do NOT want to cause Him to be disappointed in how I live my life. We alll make mistakes so I...

Hey, First off, I want to say I'm terribly sorry I haven't blogged in a long time. I have been busy with work, and just life, and every time I would sit down to write this post I'd start and then stop. I don't know if it was just I wasn't ready to write it, even though I thought I was, or if it was just the fact that God wanted me to wait...either way, this time, I 'm determined to actually finish and post it, even if I'm not 100% satisfied with how it's written or think that I could say more, etc. So as some of you who have read past posts of mine know, this is my year of learning to love myself , and since claiming that as my "goal" for this year, God has continually shown me ways in which to do that. One of which, is through my short relationship with someone I met this summer. Even though we recently ended things, and it was pretty hard at first, I trust God has a plan here. My ex really helped me believe that I am important, special, bea...

Hey All, So life has still been crazy since I last posted. My new job is pretty great and I'm very grateful, to God, for sending this opportunity my way! It's slightly "weird" being outside the kitchen for a change, but I enjoy mixing it up, learning new things, and getting this new avenue to show His love and light to my community! This enthusiasm about the new job doesn't mean that all my life has been amazing lately, and to be honest, parts of it have kind of sucked. Without getting into too many details, I'll just say my coworkers at camp are changing and despite my love of change, mostly, this change has made me bawl my eyes out several times, and I have a feeling it will continue to for awhile. That being said, I have had an overwhelming peace about it all this past week or so since I had a long talk with my Creator. It may sound crazy, but it was one of those conversations where I actually "heard" His voice whisper to my soul, and if I hadn...

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...

Hey All, In order to fully be able to change who you are and the world around you, you need to be willing to be vulnerable...completely and totally honest, with yourself, God and everyone you come in contact with. It is scary. It can be messy. It is HARD. BUT it is rewarding. It is healing. And it is worth all the pain, once it becomes a habit. Vulnerability needs to be seen as a strength, rather than a weakness.  I'm not one to wear makeup around the house, if I'm not going anywhere, or one who feels the need to put a full face of makeup on before I can go anywhere. However, I do rarely post pictures of myself, on social media without at least mascara on, or without a filter to at least help me look a little bit more "presentable" to the public. haha! Though, lately, I've become, more and more comfortable with little to no makeup on, and with going places without doing anything to my hair. I'm somewhat of a girly-girl, so I do like to put some effort int...

Hey All, First off, I just want to "warn" you guys, that I probably won't be blogging much after the next couple weeks, because my summer is about to start getting crazy! Plus, I like to avoid, "screens," and spend as much time outside as possible once the weather is nice and there are tons of people here! :) I will probably post a few times over the course of the summer, but my guess, is that it won't be regularly, again, until September. Anyways...when you hear the word, "worship," I bet you think of hymns or modern praise songs that we sing in church, correct? Well I'd like you to take a minute and try and see it in a different light too. Worship is a lifestyle. I've thought this way for awhile now, and my pastor recently touched on this subject, in one of his sermons , as well, so I figured I can't be wrong, right? In a recent post, I mentioned that I have a been a Christian since I was 4 years old and that I have a very persona...

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...
