The LittleThings

The past week, I've come to realize something that I think we all notice but maybe brush off again and again due to busy schedules and life in general. How often do we pay attention to the little moments in life? And I don't just mean the ones we all call significant like your kids first steps or words or the first date etc. I mean in our every day lives , the little moments and the little blessings. I feel like when we look around we have so much to be thankful for, so many little blessings that we may not usually count as "blessings". How often do we actually take the time to look at the stars on a clear night? Or go enjoy the park or nature reserve near by? How about just playing with your pets? Or spending time with a friend, girlfriend/boyfriend or loved one? So many little moments that either go by without us realizing or moments that we neglect to actually put in the effort to enjoy. How many parents actually make date night a priority with their spouse? Yes life's busy and your family comes first but you cant let that erode the relationship you are continually trying to build with your husband or wife. These things that seem like such little deals right now are what make the biggest most beautiful memories down the road. Hey guys out there how long has it been since you surprised your girl with a cute post on insta or your social media account? Not gonna lie when I say girls like to be shown off haha. Ladies how long since you have planned a day to put aside all the drama we constantly have and really focus on that relationship your building? And aside from relationships how long has it been since the guys and girls out there have planned a day just for your guys or in the girls case, how about your "squad." I feel like relationships are something in our lives that thanks to being busy we often neglect without even realizing it. What I wonder though, if you don't have relationships than what kind of life are you living? Having no one to share the happy moments, and life's little blessing with, doesn't sound like a very full life to me. The point is that no matter your schedule don't forget to enjoy the little things right around you and make sure the loved ones in your life know that you care because we aren't promised tomorrow, we only have right now. The time we are given right now is called the present because this time, its a gift and how we use it is up to us. If we don't make it known to our loved ones that we love them then we may never get the chance ,they cant read minds nor should they have to. So take your present and make it into the gift that it was meant to be. I encourage you to take some time, look at the stars and maybe even invite someone special to take in the blessing with you. <3

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'...
