Directions

Do you ever wonder where you belong in the world? Whats your purpose or God's ultimate plan for your life? This is something that I consider a lot. We're all born with gifts in which God gives us to use to glorify him and to help bring others to come to know Jesus. I think that during our teen years however, trying to figure out where we belong, what school to go to, what to major in, how its all going to work out etc, well it can be quite overwhelming. We're being pulled so many different directions by so many different people and things that some days its like we don't even know which was is up anymore. If your like me then you probably pray a lot asking God to lead you in your life and as I like to put it, "take the reins." This is something we should all do regularly, by praying for God to be in control of our lives, it gives a sense of peace, reassurance. Not reassurance that life will be easy, but that we will end up where we're supposed to be and that we're walking the appropriate path needed to get there. When the world is pulling us a million different directions at a billion miles an hour, it can feel as if stopping for a moment is impossible. This being said, I encourage you to among the caos and the confusion, just stop. Pray and make sure while your looking everywhere constantly that your eyes are always fixed above on the Lord. Our relationship with God is the most important of all and just like any relationship, in order to keep it going strong it needs to be maintained. Take time with your heavenly father, let him guide you and I assure you even if the road isn't the most ideal conditions, you will end up exactly where your supposed to be.

Something I read in my devotions tonight, that I'm honestly not sure how to answer yet and I'd like you to consider and pray about as well for yourself is, "You have one line to describe your life, one sentence for your entire life. What do you want it to be?"

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...
