Needing Strength?

Lets be honest , we all get a little drained from time to time. This thing we call life tends to do that. We can only take so much before our strength dwindles away like sand going through a glass. Whether we like to admit it or not as our pride can get in the way, we all need a hand or push now and then, a strength refill. We look everywhere to be rejuvenated and yet nothing works, theirs still this "hole" or empty feeling that we cant quite get passed. Why is this? Its because we always look in the wrong places. I'm sure we all remember playing the game hide and seek as kids right? I mean who didn't? Well this is the same kinda game, we look high and low to be inaugurated and refreshed and we think were getting close than we just find and empty spot again. We think that earthly things can satisfy us but we constantly forget that only one thing can truly satisfy us. We were made in the image of God, not in the image of the world. So when were feeling down and we try to use earthly things to lift us up of course it fails. God never needed earthly things to keep going through hard times. He kept his focus on the Father and he kept his eyes on the word and the promises, the same promises we all have to this day. You see when we go after Godly things instead of earthly things than we give God the chance to truly refresh us. Hes always reaching out , its just that sometimes we get so blindsided by the world that we forget to take his hand, we forget what he is offering which is true peace. He gives us peace of mind, peace of soul and gives our bodies rest when were in need, the bible is food for our soul. When we slack on our time with God our soul gets hungry its like depriving your body of food and theirs this constant empty feeling, than when we read the word and go after what God wants for our lives we get a sense of security and fullness. Earthly things only last a lifetime but godly things last an eternity. So i ask today will you go after the short joys of this life or the lasting eternity of joy after this life?  We all need an extra push now and again and we all get hungry just make sure your not only feeding your body but also your soul :)

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'...
