Patience

Patience is a gift known by many and yet only blessed to few. We've all been told to have patience, sometimes in round-about ways such as "only time will tell", or "wait it out" etc. Patience comes in many forms and is needed in almost every situation whether your waiting for food in a restaurant or stuck in traffic in the city. Or maybe your simply waiting on the right opportunity or relationship to come a long. How many times do we really listen when someone tells us to have patience? If I'm being honest then I know for myself the answer is well quite rarely.  
   Patience isn't something we automatically receive the moment we leave the womb, its a trait in which is squired over time and through consistent practice. As hard as it may be, this quality is one that we should all enrich ourselves in. No matter where you are in the process, remember we are all human which means we all have aspects of ourselves that need improvement. Don't let the areas in your life you need to work on scare or intimidate you. Improvement is a chance for success and determination/ consistency are the aspects that drive us to success. If we didn't have areas to improve upon then we would have nothing to learn, and if you ask me, a life without knowledge and learning is one I personally would not find pleasurable to live. 
   My advice to you, as hard as it may be to have patience, practice it prefusely. If your nervous about an upcoming opportunity or even just scared you won't make it to work on time because of the traffic, pray about it. We as humans are not perfect but were blessed to serve a God who is. Lastly if you want an opportunity or a relationship with someone bad enough then know what you want, work for what you want, don't give up and trust that Gods timing will make it happen. In our world today we face a lifetime of unknown, but take comfort in this, we serve a God whom has had an eternity of purely known :)

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...
