Midst of a Miracle...

Today I got the privilege to listen to one of my favorite pastors that many of you have probably heard of. Pastor Wayne Cordeiro is an inspiration and role model to people around the globe. Today his message touched a few things that I've really thought about since. Often times we see a problem as this scary horrible thing in which we will do anything to avoid. Lets be honest, none of us like things getting in the way of our plans or the "fairy tale" life we want to live. When we see a problem arise we typically try to avoid it completely or get mad etc. Think about this though, how does a miracle happen? What causes a miracle to occur? If you haven't caught on already then I'll tell you. Problems are the cause of miracles! God uses our problems to get our attention sometimes, he uses them to remind us hes in control and that we need to be patient and obey. So many cancer cases have been miraculously cured, if there weren't the problem of cancer then there would be no need for a miracle.  When your about to lose your job and surprisingly another opportunity arises, that's a miracle. If it weren't for the loss of the first job there would be once again no need for a miracle. Often times however we can be in the midst of a miracle and not even realize it. Miracles happen in the simplest of every day things and they also happen over time. Here's the kicker, sometimes God works alone and handles the miracle himself, but other times he needs us to follow and obey. Everything God does is in our best interest but sometimes we argue when he asks us to do something or we make up excuse. How many miracles have we lost out on due to being argumentative and disobedient. When we make the choice to follow Christ we cant be argumentative, we need to be willing, and we cant be disobedient but instead we need to learn to obey. I realized today a miracle that God is working on in my life, what could he be working on in yours? Don't miss out on Gods miracles in life due to disobedience, strive to listen to the one who has planned our lives from day one and knows us inside and out. Miracles are all around us all the time, its simply our choice to accept them or not. Take some time to think about this, you may be surprised what the Lord reveals to you like he has to me. :)

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...
