Time, relationships, vulnerability

 Time is a weird thing. It comes and goes, time doesn't stop because life gets hard, it moves on with or without you so at the end of the day I've learned it's best to try and move wirh it. That's not to say however sometimes it doesn't feel like life stops all together... Time is interesting the way it passes especially when you spend long periods of said time with another person. Marriage is a gift, I truly believe that and unfortunately it is abused in this day in age, people don't take the commitment seriously or they enter into said commitment not remotely ready to commit at all. I haven't been very public about my life the last few months, for a few weeks in December time did seemingly stop for me. My very soon ex husband left a week before Christmas and honestly I thought the world stopped turning. I questioned love, I questioned relationships, I questioned time, the way time works and why I spent such a chunk of my life on someone who could just leave me that easy. I'm sure your wondering why I'm sharing this now, well on the other side almost finished with one of the hardest situations of my life, I know love exists again and I know that there is more to this life then the actiosn of another person. I know my worth and I know that God has a plan amidst all this. It has become an opportunity to find real love, a love I wouldn't have found without all that has transpired. Its become an opportunity to reinvent myself and figure out who I truly want to be. I want to write this tonight as encouragement to anyone struggling, there is more to this life even if you feel as if the world has stopped all together. Even if you struggle to get out of bed due to what your facing in life, there is more. Your situation does not define you. This situation is not the end, once you begin to see it as a new beginning, trust me it will lose its toxic power over 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...
