Loneliness

I asked my friend for a topic idea tonight seeing as I haven't written in a while and he suggested I do something about feeling alone. God works in mysterious ways, I have a devotional I look through for topic starters sometimes to see what I feel God wants me to discuss. I flipped to a random page and opened up to one called " I am Lonely". Tonight I want to touch on this topic and hopefully help instill in you that, for one your not alone, and two how to handle the feeling we all get now and again. 
   If your like me then sometimes you might ask yourself, how you can feel alone when your in this world seemingly always surrounded by people...? Well truth be known, loneliness actually has nothing to do with the fact of being "alone". Its more of a state of mind and how to fix it may be easier than you may think.
    When we feel lonely our human instinct is to immediately look for another relationship, we look high and low for this ideal relationship that will "solve everything" when in reality the relationship we need, has been right in front of our noses the entire time... I know we've heard that our relationship with the Lord should be our top priority, but how often do we listen? Life can be distracting, new relationships come along, new relationships die out. Why are they failing? Truth be known, without God at the center or our lives, the center of every relationship we have and hope to have, everything falls apart.
  We feel lonely because were lacking a the relationship with the one who guards our hearts, ignites out soul, grants us wisdom and peace. Seek first your relationship with the Lord and watch that loneliness, the uneasy feeling, fade away and be replaced with confidence and peace. Watch as your relationship with God strengthens and strong human relationships grow. Watch God transform your life into what he wants for you and watch yourself change for the better of your life and those around you. Don't be lonely, what you've been looking for is reaching out to you right now <3

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, ...
