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.

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, ...
