Expression of Oneself

 Covid took a lot from many people, however as I reflect over the past year and a half it has also brought so many blessings. Look around just for a moment, you'll realize how much you have to appreciate. I believe in not focusing on what was lost but rather what was gained. Before covid how often did you simply sit outside and admire the trees or the sky? Well after a year inside I bet those moments have increased. Before covid did you ever slow down and enjoy moments with your family? Did you simply stop to enjoy the blessings God has placed in your life? This

last year has given many of us the opportunity to do just that. As humans we grow and adapt to our changing times and environments but throughout this last year, it's trials and turmoil, God has stayed constant as we've had to adapt to our new world he has stayed the same. God has remained a constant stability in our lives and carried us through. Blessing upon blessing has been apparent over this last year if you simply take a moment to look.  

Self expression is unique to each person, as you can likely tell for me it's mg writing yet for some it's music or dance etc. However you express yourself it is a gift from God, a gift unique to you that he chose so intricately that it would fit your life and personality perfectly. Expressing your thoughts, feelings, and personality is a blessing in life; today, this week, this month snd this next year pay attention to the gifts God has given you in which you express yourself and share those gifts with others. Our gifts aren't meant to be held inside but rather given freely and trust me when you are willing God will reach the people who need you the most all you have to do is be you and let your light snd gifts shine to those around you.

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...
