A Good Life
Nice to see you again!! I am so happy to get the renewed blog up and running! When revamping this blog, I wanted it to be perfect for you guys. The perfect pictures, and titles, and messages, and I think that is why it took me so long to get it done, I was striving for perfection. Does anyone else do this? Strive for perfection, thinking that we will be able to reach it. We do it unconsciously, thinking we can do it all on our own and get exactly what we imagined. But for me,

A Thank You
I want to say thank you. Thank you to every single person who has taken time to read this blog. I started this blog with the thought that maybe someone out there, was thinking about the same thing I was and could find happiness or faith through my writing. God steered me in a direction I never thought of, and it has led to so many things. I found new passions, and new realizations, and this blog has changed my relationship with God as well. I hope that if you have ever logged

Standing For What
“Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” John 3-18 At the end of our lives, we are going to meet our King, we are going to stand before Him and rejoice. But, what exactly will we have to rejoice from our life here on earth? This question has been swirling around in my head for a while now, and I think it is a quite powerful thought. So what have I come up with? What won’t matter is the kind of car I have, what will matter is the road trips

Do You Approve
Approval. This is a word that holds a lot of power. As human beings we seek approval, even if we don’t know that is what we are doing. Why is this? Why do we want that praise, or that recognition? Sometimes we want praise when we know we did something right to have an ego boost which can feel really nice, maybe we want approval for reassurance from doubt, maybe we want approval to prove a point, to try an be an example. There are many many reason as to why we seek approval in

A Matter Of Perspective
You are walking down the street when you feel a breeze, and you slip on a jacket and continue on. A little while later, it starts to rain so you pull out your umbrella, ten minutes later you step in a puddle and make a splash getting your feet soaked. If this were you, what thoughts would be going on in your head? When it started to get cold, would you be annoyed that you had to put a jacket on, or smile because the seasons are changing. When it starts to rain would you be a

A Dependent Heart
Independence is something we all strive for, to be an independent individual capable of taking care of themselves, and others. Sometimes we think being independent means to rely on no one but yourself, but is that really the way we are suppose to live? Who ever said dependence was a bad thing, while of course you need to be able to take care of yourself to a certain extent, doing everything on your own without any help is a pretty cast out and lonely life. There is a differen

The Beautiful Difference
I think we have all heard the phrase, you are your own best friend, but I never really learned the true meaning of that until recently. We have friends and family that we like to spend time with, but we are never with them 24/7, 365 days of the year, we will always be with ourselves, every second and every moment. It wasn’t until recently that God showed me how life changing a good relationship with myself could be. God loves you and wants you to have peace with yourself, a

Show Your Heart
Vulnerability. It is something some fear and some chase. I think we fear it becomes when we become vulnerable it is up to others to treat us and our hearts with kindness, and love and compassion. That is also why we chase it, to show our hearts without fear, to have complete faith in others, to embrace the fear and turn it into strength, when we embrace it we put our shields down and we find out something about ourselves. Lately, I have been striving to be vulnerable, strivin

Made Of What
We live a life.- Wow how obvious- I know but, the simplicity of that sentence is what I am hinting at. You and I get to LIVE a LIFE. If we are lucky enough, we get to live a life filled with love and God and whatever else we choose. Our life will be a string of what we choose, who we choose, what we choose to follow, what we don’t choose. And it is never set in stone, we may feel as though this is not how we want our story to go we can change it, right then and there we can

You Are More
We all struggle with who we are, or how we perceive ourselves. In today’s society it is almost impossible to not compare yourself to others. Trying to be “cool”, trying to be liked by the people around us. Sometimes we change ourselves to trying please other people, because we think that is what will make us happy, maybe if this certain group likes me then maybe I will be happier. What people don’t tell you and what we have to learn on our own, is that pleasing everyone is i
