Music Focus

You know that moment when you hear a certain song and it just speaks to you? I have a lot of those moments haha. There's two songs in particular that have really gotten my attention lately. "Flashlight" by Hunter Hays and "Somebody To Thank" by Logan Mize. Hunter is a country artist but this particular song is very faith based when you stop and listen to the lyrics. He talks about how were all sinners and how God seems to find us in our darkest places. He mentions little miracles that most might not even consider "miracles", he reminds us that although we are not worthy of Gods grace , we are still loved by God. God never abandons us! "Who am I of dust and water, touched by the divine." Just one lyrics from Hunter's song where he demonstrates God giving us grace even though we have done nothing to deserve it. This song has really just touched me and reminded me that Gods miracles do show up in the simplest ways like "A sunrise from a lonely night" or "A smile in a strangers eyes." These simple things that I think we often take for granted and I love the reminders that this song gives, while giving praise back to the Lord.
       The second song " Somebody To Thank" by Logan Mize is another song I love at the moment, especially as we are nearing thanksgiving time :)). In this song he reminds us that we all have somebody to thank, no matter who we are. He mentions thanking his parents for 18 years of gassing up his truck, his friends, he mentions the love of his life who he thanks every day. The lyrics are so great because its true, no matter who you are, someone at some point in your life has done something for you to be thankful for. Aside from people he mentions thanking the Lord for every day he's lived and every day he will live. This is another thing I think we take for granted, who remembers to thank God for just getting to wake up in the morning?? That's truly a blessing right there, and how often do we thank the people in our lives and remind them how much we care about them, and how truly thankful we are. We need to be a people of the moment, if we want to tell a loved one something then we need to say it. Don't wait until tomorrow because tomorrow is never a grantee. If were lucky enough to get that "tomorrow", then thank the Lord because its all thanks to him that we live another day!

 I feel there is something not talked about enough, everyone knows the feeling of failure. We all make mistakes, comes with being human, we all cope with that. How though do we cope when unplanned mistakes take place, I know your wondering what on earth I mean by this, most mistakes are unplanned… I am referring to the mistakes, the trials that occur even when the “rules” are followed, those that incur even when perhaps we have done everything right that is within in our power. This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for

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,

Write Your Story

 It’s been over a year since I have last written and I can honestly say it has been quite the year. Writing is an outlet unlike any other, it creates doors to inspire, uplift and change. Perhaps the lives of others may change by the words you place on paper, however I believe the real change happens in the heart of the author. Whether it be fiction or nonfiction or a mix of both, putting the words on paper in a way that betters those around us and potentially those we will never meet aside from words meeting eyes, that changes you. It allows healing, growth, and a change of perspective on life. If there is one thing I have taken from the last year, it is that we are all the author of our own stories, we all have tales dying to be told inside of us, fighting to be born into paper. There is nothing in life that a change in perspective and a plan cannot conquer, we are only as limited as the limits we put on ourselves. Change stands directly in front of all of us, the question is not if i
