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

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...
