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?"

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,

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

 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
