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 :)

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, ...
