Dating Right

Hey guys,
Something I want to address today is an issue that I feel is becoming bigger and bigger for us as teenagers and young adults. As we grow up we are getting to the dating age and this is very exciting as well as scary, whether you have had your heart broken once or a hundred times it never hurts any less. The hard thing I keep seeing in today's world when it comes to dating is that people have no moral values anymore. Sex used to be something everyone thought of as sacred and something you wait for until you get married. For those of us like myself that still stands today ,however for a majority of our population it has become meaningless and for some even a game. Guys think that its not cool to be a virgin anymore so then it becomes a game among the guys basically- who can do it more. As sad as this is ,its a reality I have witnessed from previous guy friends that have told me things etc. No one cares anymore and no one seems to think about the consequences this can have not only for themselves but for there partner as well. Now this already sounds bad but whats worse? Whats worse is when us people who know our self worth and actually have self respect and moral values get looked down upon. Us girls that think its wrong to send nudes, or have sex, we are the ones who get called lame and why is that because we respect ourselves and the promise that we have made to ourselves and God. Yes we are the lame ones right? We get constantly pressured and guys try to get us to cave like were weak and we can be broken. What they don't seem to understand is that we stand for MORE than just a one night stand. We want more than just physical attraction in a relationship and we WON'T cave because we are stronger than that. When sex is involved in a relationship before marriage how is that even a relationship? Its not ,its pure physical attraction at its best. A relationship is getting to know someone ,its about a bond that begins to form and the love that you begin to share and any guy who is actually worth your time will respect and support you and your values.
  We can't put it all on the guys though, so here's my question for you. "What do you value in a relationship? What is the end goal? What do YOU believe is right?" I ask you this because you need to know what you want in a relationship before you even consider having one. You need to be ready to defend yourself and your values because believe me the devil sneaks up like the present you have always wanted. You have to be ready to say no and you need to know how. This also comes down to how you portray yourself. Guys pick up on things so what are you wanting them to pick up on? When they check you out what do you want them to see? This also what you need to figure out because how you portray yourself will affect the type of guys you attract.
   Dating can be a wonderful thing you just need to know what you want and be strong in your faith and your values so that when the hard times come you can make the right decision for you. No guy is ever worth compromising your self worth and your values. Any guy who ever asks that of you is only there for one thing and i promise you its not the right thing. I challenge you to figure yourself out before going to a relationship and than find yourself someone that will support you. I pray that you never feel pressured into something you are not comfortable with, and if you are that you know your self worth enough to realize he's not worth it. There's a lot of great guys out there waiting on a girl like you so never settle for less than you deserve. You are beautifully and wonderfully made so shine like lightening and never let anyone steal your thunder!

Love Yo Selfie

Often times when you think about "love", where does your mind go? For some of us it might be the love shared between a couple or a family, friends etc. Rarely however do we think about ourselves. The world can feel like its spinning a million miles an hour, I know mine is. We spend so much time making sure everyone else is okay that we often times neglect ourselves. We love everyone and try to make sure they know that, but what about making sure we know we love ourselves? That were happy with who we are? You may be thinking I've gone crazy right now trying to tell you to love yourself lol. I'm serious though, we are our biggest critics and I feel like we spend so much time critiquing ourselves that we forget to be happy with who we are. We tend to excuse mistakes of ones we care  about, as we should but then we dwell on our own mistakes and let them tear us apart. We need to show ourselves the compassion we show others and we need to be comfortable with who we are as ...

Stillness

As someone accustomed to being constantly on the go and busy, I've always found the concept of stillness almost nerving.  When someone tells you to spend time being still in God's presence, I don't know about you but I always pictured literally sitting still with nothing to occupy myself. To say the least due to this perception stillness is something I'd avoid. As I've began seeking God as a new mother, he's hit me with a new perspective that I'd like to share in the hopes it can aid and encourage others to embrace being still.  Stillness is different for everyone, perhaps for some it is sitting and doing absolutely nothing, meditating on God's word, for others maybe it's prayer or being alone and singing worship music. Being still with God is eliminating distractions of this world and focusing fully on him. What helps your mind go quiet? What helps you tune into God's voice and block out the world? Personally I've found its worship music and...

Defining Life Through Choices

 Life is a crazy thing, what's crazier is how we each define the course we take through it. Often times we categorize our lives by the bigger more obvious choices, for instance taking a job, going back to school, getting married, having children etc. If we created a road map of our lives on paper it would likely consist of big landmark choices. Is it truly those big choices however that sum up our lives? Is it really those land mark sized choices that got us where we are today and propel us further into the future? I'd like to argue that they are not. Every day, every moment we are faced with choices, big and small choices. Perhaps the most seemingly miniscule choices are in fact the most monumental. When you start your day, what thoughts do you allow into your head? How do you nurture your mind, body and soul when you rise and when you begin to settle down for the day? How do you choose to interact with those around you, how do you speak to them? How do you speak to yourself, ...
