Self Improvement...

Self improvement is when you look at yourself and find flaws that you want to improve. This can be improving anything that you feel you want to change about yourself, it can be mental or physical ,its all about you and the person you want to become. I chose this topic today because I myself have had a very eye opening day. I strongly believe that God has a way of getting through to us when he has a point to get across or something to tell us. Today he had quite a bit to tell me, I have so many goals for my life and I want to reach out to people ,but how can I reach out and help others if I'm not also working on helping myself become the best version of me that I can be? So God clearly pointed out some areas in my life that I need to improve on. Some people will call me crazy for saying all this but the truth is God does have a plan for our lives and I'm learning that when he speaks to us ,he has a reason and we need to listen intently. Sometimes I get nervous sharing with you all my personal thoughts and feelings but I feel like there are things that need to be shared and if my experiences or personal thoughts can be used as example for the good of the Lord ,well than here it is! I will share with you today what I have had my eyes opened to that I need to improve about myself. And yes mom this means if I'm not staying on top of myself on this you may politely remind me :)

1) We all have "enemies" or people in life whom we don't quite get along with. I have plenty of those in my life but I realize that we are called as people of God to love our neighbor as ourselves and to love our "enemies" even more. This is something I have struggled with after being hurt by people so many times but again I realize that I need to love them and not just because God has called me to but because deep down those people are hurting and they just need to be loved. Those people don't know Jesus yet but how will they if we shut them out? We need to let Gods love shine through us. we need to be their light in this world of complete darkness.

2) I write posts all the time on here , its easy to put my personal thoughts and feelings out there when I'm behind a computer but I need  to learn how to come out of my comfort zone and start speaking these posts ,not just writing them.

3) I need to get back on my devotions, I confess life has gotten in the way but I need to be sure I'm getting my time in with God each day.

4) I need to not only learn to love my "enemies" but I also need to reach out to them.

5) I always try to be positive but lately I've had some rough spots and I need to make sure no matter whats going on I keep that positive ,optimistic attitude.

6) I need to stop being afraid and intimidated by people, i need to get passed the anxiety because when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of me. I only answer to myself and god so if I know what I'm doing is right than that is all that matters.

7) I want to be more interested in other people lives and get better about asking deeper more meaningful questions especially when talking over text to keep the conversation interesting.

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'...
