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!

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, ...
