You Dont Have to Try So Hard

 "You don't have to try so hard. You don't have to give it all away". - "Try" by Colbie Calliat 

This is a song lyric I'm sure we've all heard once or twice however I think it is pertinent for young women in today's society to truly digest and remember. In a world that calls us to show off every bit of our bodies and to give away every ounce of energy to simply be accepted, in a world that calls us to conform to it's impossible beauty standards and to excel in everything or else be worthy of nothing.... Young women tofay need to remember their worth is not determined by the world's standards, to those reading this, you are perfect just the way you are. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, if our creator took the time to place every single star by hand how much more time did he take planning you? Think about that and remember you don't have to give it all away! Everything you need to succeed is already inside of you and you are truly beautiful inside and out. Guard your hearts, guard your minds and guard your bodies, it's a treacherous world out there. Above all remember where your worth comes from. Your with is not in this world, rather it is in Jesus himself and his love for you. Have a blessed week ❤

 I feel there is something not talked about enough, everyone knows the feeling of failure. We all make mistakes, comes with being human, we all cope with that. How though do we cope when unplanned mistakes take place, I know your wondering what on earth I mean by this, most mistakes are unplanned… I am referring to the mistakes, the trials that occur even when the “rules” are followed, those that incur even when perhaps we have done everything right that is within in our power. This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for

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,

Write Your Story

 It’s been over a year since I have last written and I can honestly say it has been quite the year. Writing is an outlet unlike any other, it creates doors to inspire, uplift and change. Perhaps the lives of others may change by the words you place on paper, however I believe the real change happens in the heart of the author. Whether it be fiction or nonfiction or a mix of both, putting the words on paper in a way that betters those around us and potentially those we will never meet aside from words meeting eyes, that changes you. It allows healing, growth, and a change of perspective on life. If there is one thing I have taken from the last year, it is that we are all the author of our own stories, we all have tales dying to be told inside of us, fighting to be born into paper. There is nothing in life that a change in perspective and a plan cannot conquer, we are only as limited as the limits we put on ourselves. Change stands directly in front of all of us, the question is not if i
