Easter

 As I've been reflecting upon this amazing day in history, the resurrection of Jesus many thoughts have come to mind. On this day victory was bestowed upon God, he conquered death, he trampled sin, and he payed the price none of us could ever atone for. In our world today it's easy to see God as distant, it's easy to think he's even forgotten about us at some points, yet if you truly take a look around you'll see the many areas God is still working over 2000 years later. On good Friday Morgan Wallen released the song, "Don't Think Jesus", if you haven't heard it yet it's worth a listen. The song is basically a country gospel song and it has managed to reach millions in today's generation that perhaps have never heard gospel music before. Some may say it's coincidental it was released on good Friday. I don't think there's coincidences, rather what I know is that God has a plan and his plan will be completed to perfection. Nothing in this world can put a halt to God's plan, nothing in this world can pause or prohibit the work he is doing daily. Easter is the celebration of the future and not just hope but flat out assurance we have in Jesus Christ. For me personally today is a beautiful reminder that though we deserve nothing, we deserve death as rightful punishment for sin, God says no, I love you enough to send my own son to pay the price for you, not because you deserve it, not because you will ever earn it, but because my love for you is greater then sin, it's greater then death, and I created you for a divine purpose. If your doubting your purpose or God's plan for your life let today be a reminder that God is victorious and your breathing today because he has a reason for you to be here, he loves you and though we could never earn his love he gives it graciously. Go forth in faith and trust in the one who holds it all.

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, ...
