Thank You Veterans!

Today I realized something that I often remember but than again forget. Today on Americas birthday I would like us all to take a moment and remember how blessed we truly are. No matter our struggles we are so much better off than millions of other people across the world ,simply because we live in America. We have so many freedoms that we take for granted every day and we forget that we have veterans constantly fighting in order for us to keep these freedoms. Our freedom comes at a price ,we just live our lives and its normal for us ,these freedoms but its a constant war to keep them. There is always other countries who want to take our freedoms and take control. Our nation is so blessed that we have our veterans who have the courage and the strength that they feel the need and the want to stand up for what they believe in and to stand up for our Country, to stand up for what makes America the beauty and everything she is today. If it were not for our heroes we would not have the freedoms that we take so often for granted today. Our veterans leave their families and their homes,  the risk never coming back. Why do they do this? They do this because they believe in our nation and they are not scared to stand up and fight for what they believe is right. So many have died for this country, so many have DIED so that we may LIVE. But not just live ,anyone can live. They put their lives on the line and some loose them so that we may live in freedom, without fear of borders or dangers of other countries invading, They feel such a calling to defend us and they never get the appreciation that they deserve. So today lets take a moment and honor those who have given their lives up for us and for those that are currently putting their lives on the line. It may be Americas birthday but we wouldn't have a birthday to celebrate if it weren't for our veterans! I speak on behalf of myself, my family, my friends and our nation when I say THANK YOU VETERANS!

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...
