Getting Back on Track

I just heard a song on the radio, its one I hear all the time but today it had a different, stronger effect on me. The song is "King of the World " by Natalie Grant, its not just the song but a specific part that really got me. " When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world, I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world." I realize we all try to take life back and we think we can do it on our own, we forget that we cant but our pride makes us box God up and keep him right there for when we want him, we try to run our lives slacking off our devotions and time with him and we think we know what were doing, that we have everything under control ,when in reality we are crumbling to pieces because we are looking in the wrong direction for everything we want. This could be looking to the wrong guys for attention or just socializing in general as i have recently made the mistake of.. or could be that new job that looks so good but in reality could destroy something else. God gives us warnings ,he reaches out but its like we get into this mode where our pride gets so strong we go blind to his plan for us. Lucky for us once we realize that we have strayed, he welcomes us back with open arms and you can get back on track. The fact is were human and we aren't perfect , that's why Jesus died for us because we are sinners and we mess up. We all stray ,the important part is that we realize when we do and we work to get back on track. As much as life tries to tell us theirs happiness in some things ,we can only truly find joy in Jesus Christ and I'm so thankful that when my teenage brain gets swamped by society and I loose sight of whats important that he is right here to pick me up again. Today I challenge you to look at your life right now, is it what you want? Are you the person you want to be? If you answer no to these than maybe evaluate, is something missing? If so are you slacking on devotions or your time with God? Or maybe your not a believer in that case I encourage you to give God a try and see what he can do in your life, maybe something beyond what  you ever imagined. All you have to do is ask :)

Be Good to Yourself!

Everyone deals with stress in life no matter how young or old you may be. I know this is a topic I've touched on several times, this is due to the fact it is an ever changing, ever growing concept. Stress is constantly coming in seemingly endless forms. The specific aspect of stress that I want to focus on today is the fact that when were stressed, we typically take that stress out on ourselves. This is pertaining to how we treat our bodies, both physically and mentally when were stressed. I have experienced this a lot lately. Junior year has been crazy as I'm sure most of you know either from past experience or current. There's stress on getting grades that colleges will accept, ACT/SAT, getting volunteer hours, internships, upholding a job, playing sports or being active in school clubs, and so much more on top of trying to stay sane... In my most recent experience, I have come to the conclusion that when I'm stressed there are times that I'm not good to my body. ...

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 ...

Learning to Praise in the Midst of Pain

Many of you have probably heard the saying "Learn to dance in the rain". Personally that quote is one of my favorites because of its versatility, it can apply to anything from the smallest complication to the biggest catastrophe. On thing that we don't usually remember though, is to praise God when things go wrong. We always thank him and praise him when he blesses our lives and lets things go right in our eyes., but how about when things go wrong? I think often times when things go wrong we draw away from the Lord when really he's asking us to draw more near. God has a reason for everything and his perfect plan for our lives will prevail with our cooperation. So that being said, things may be going "bad" in our minds but if that a part of God's plan for us then things really can't be that bad.  When we learn to praise God even in the times we want to crumble, it shows our devotion and it causes us to lean more prominently on the Lord and less on wor...
