Singing Through The Storm

Heyyy,
I'm sure everyone has heard the song "Singing in The Shower" by Becky G and if you haven't its definitely a well known must. That song brings me into the topic I actually would like to discuss today which don't worry I'm not lecturing you about remembering to shower or anything. I want to talk about singing in the rain. Now I don't mean actually going outside when its raining and singing as fun as that is. I mean this metaphorically, when it comes to life we all have bad days aka rainy days. What we choose to do with our rainy days is entirely up to us, we can be upset or sad or even angry over what goes on in life but what good has that ever done anyone? That's right absolutely none, life will give us rain and hail maybe even snow us in to the point where we feel trapped. We can be upset during the rain because we don't want to get soaked or we can embrace the storm and dance in the rain like nothing in the world matters besides that moment. We can panic during a hailstorm because the roads are icy and we have somewhere to be ,or we can go ice skating on the streets. We can cry and break down when we feel snowed in or we can embrace the time we have and enjoy what we have while we wait for the storm to pass. The thing about God is that he never gives us more than we can handle, he has a plan and sometimes for his plan to be fulfilled we need some rain, some hail, and maybe we even need to be snowed in to realize what he has for us, or for the next step in his plan to go through. We are all given the storms of life, what sets us apart is what we do with our storms. Will we be upset during the rain, afraid of getting wet or will jump in voices loud and dance in the moment? Will we panic during the hail or will we go ice skating on the streets?  Will we break down when we feel snowed in or will we embrace what we have and not let any moment be taken for granted? How we answer these questions is what either sets us apart or makes us blend in with today's society. Here's a little secret, we weren't made to blend and conform to our society ,we were created to stand out and be a light. When the storms of life come we need to be the ones who embrace our storms and make sunshine for others during their storms. I challenge you to ask yourself those questions next time you get rain or hail or even snow, what will you do? When you see a friend who is going through rain by themselves ,I challenge you to show up with music ready to dance and when the hail comes bring them skates, if the snow arrives bring a shovel to dig them out. What you do with the storms of life is up to you ,I pray that we all can find a way to not conform or blend but to stand out and be the sunshine in the midst of all the rain.

The fire

  A thought came to me today as I stumbled upon some inspirational posts. Why are we often so eager to escape our troubling circumstances. We get trapped in the fire and get so focused on getting out that perhaps we miss the most important question of all, what refining needs to be completed in the fire? Just as a welder uses the fire to shape and refine metal, so God uses our circumstances, "fires" to shape and refine us. If he simply swooped in and saved the day, we would lack the knowledge he hopes us to gain, we wouldn't grow in character or wisdom. In the fire we think he abandom us, left us to our own devices, but in reality he is more present in the fire even then in the calm. It's when we feel abandoned that he's calling to us the loudest, beckoning us to just open our ears to listen to his voice. Take the fires in stride, don't immediately reach for the extinguisher. Allow the flames to surround you with the confident knowledge that the one whom the...

Be-You-Tiful

Hey Ladies<3 This post is specifically for all my ladies out there, we often hear the word "beautiful" in many ways. Its often used when we see someone we find prettier than ourselves in our eyes. We feel like we don't measure up because we aren't the "perfect or ideal" weight, or maybe we aren't using the super expensive makeup that someone else is. People in general are self conscious but we as woman get the brunt of it. We constantly try to be the "ideal" for someone else, its like a constant battle to be someones idea of beautiful. So much so that we forget to focus on our own idea of beautiful. We wear uncomfortable cloths, go on massive diets, and try to learn the impossible eye liner tutorials so that we feel like we measure up. We get so caught up in the worlds idea of beauty that we loose track of what we think is beautiful and what is spiritually beautiful. Some think that beauty comes from how much you spend on your appearance ,b...

Identity

I must first apologize to all of you , my readers for the long gap in between blogs. This summer has been insane and while I am not one to share my own personal life, I believe there were lessons learned and wisdom gained this past summer in which I would like to share with all of you. So all my teens and even parents out there, this ones for you.     Growing up is hard, especially in today's world with so many constant influences trying to tell us who we are and who we should become. It's a struggle among these influences to find out who you are now and who God wants you to be in the future, it's a constant question of if you made the right choice, if your going the right direction, and sometimes it feels as if there is purely no direction in any way you look. It can feel as if God is no longer leading you, and if your like me, that feeling is scary. I want to give you wisdom tonight that God is with you, I know for a fact because he stayed with me even when I couldn'...
