"People fall in love in mysterious ways"

"People fall in love in mysterious ways." A quote from one of Ed Sheeran's very famous and beloved songs that I'm sure we've all heard at some point. Although it may be just a pop song lyric to some, to others it has a much more impactful meaning. Love is a word known since the beginning of time, its gone through centuries of cultural chance, it's brought people together in ways never thought possible, it's been a source of hope and light, a strong stand point. What I find fun to think about is the fact that not only do certain people find love in mysterious ways, we all do. Every specific way that couples come to love one another is mysterious, its not able to be calculated or predicted, it simply happens.The connection shared between two people comes about from mystery and that is beautiful. The fact that we all have our own love stories in which are completely separate from one another is beautful. Even if couples met one another in the same place at the same exact time, those two couples stories would still be completely different. Love is a gift and I think that often times we try too hard to calculate it and map it out, and know the exact coordinates of when it will happen etc, that we miss out on enjoying the mystery. Enjoy the mystery, if it's already come then congratulations! If your still waiting maybe trying to map it out, stop, enjoy right now and enjoy the mystery that is yet to come <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, ...
