As humans it's only natural for us to want others in our lives. We crave relationships and desire to be close to those around us. We long for romance and we're in constant search of friendship. In fact if we really look at how much of our lives we spend searching it's kind of insane. On the flip side we enter seasons of confusion, seasons of self growth and in the end seasons of purpose. It's interesting that sometimes in these seasons the main focus shouldn't be searching so much the world for those people and those relationships, rather searching our own hearts. Searching ourselves to learn how to wake up alone in the morning, how to be content when no one else is around. How to be alone and realize that being alone is truly okay. It can be daunting especially for those who are used to constant companionship. Figuring out who you are alone can seem to be one of the steepest mountains you have yet to face. I want to encourage you that every season in our lives does have a purpose and as hard as it is to see it now, each season will grow you as a person. There is something in your life God is working to accomplish now even if you feel as though your more lost then you've ever been before. While you may be lost, God is not. Search yourself, take time to learn who you are in this season and who you want to become in the future, knowing yourself is as much of a relationship as any other and it takes work and time. So take the time and work on yourself and allow God to work in you.

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 ...
