Hey Ladies<3
This post is specifically for all my ladies out there, we often hear the word "beautiful" in many ways. Its often used when we see someone we find prettier than ourselves in our eyes. We feel like we don't measure up because we aren't the "perfect or ideal" weight, or maybe we aren't using the super expensive makeup that someone else is. People in general are self conscious but we as woman get the brunt of it. We constantly try to be the "ideal" for someone else, its like a constant battle to be someones idea of beautiful. So much so that we forget to focus on our own idea of beautiful. We wear uncomfortable cloths, go on massive diets, and try to learn the impossible eye liner tutorials so that we feel like we measure up. We get so caught up in the worlds idea of beauty that we loose track of what we think is beautiful and what is spiritually beautiful. Some think that beauty comes from how much you spend on your appearance ,but who cares about appearance if theirs no heart and mind to go with it? That's equivalent to getting a box of chocolates that are beautifully wrapped and so appealing than you open the box to find no chocolates but an empty box. You can look amazing on he outside but who cares about that if your hollow inside? The world measures beauty by appearance but God looks at us from within, he sees our hearts and a God devoted heart is what he calls beautiful. Mathew 6:28 says that " And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don't labor or spin thread." This is saying, instead of worrying so much about our outward appearance we need to grow in God and therefore grow in ourselves. Being like a beautiful wildflower who needs nothing more than the necessities offered to it in order to bloom. As a teenager myself I understand the want to have the latest styles and to fit in with other women, I've been looked down upon before based of having the wrong jeans and its not fun. So I'm not saying you shouldn't dis your appearance all together. I'm saying don't make that what you put all your time into and don't compare yourself to others. You are your own person and you have so many ways you can shine without trying to be someone else. Make your own kind of beautiful, go after Gods beautiful and always try to push and be the gorgeous person he has created you to be. I challenge you today, don't make it your goal to be eye candy, instead be heart, mind and soul food. And above all else if you want to dress to impress than choose wisely who your trying to impress because in the end the only one you should be devoted to impress has already been impressed by you since before you were born. 

Conquer the  world ladies and maybe if we all work together we can create our own kind of beautiful and a new species of wildflower as an example for generations to come.  

Be-YOU-Tiful :)

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, ...
