Your Place

We all have that certain place that makes us feel whole, complete. That one place where we can truly let go of all our worries, stressors, and busy aspects of life. We have that special place where we can completely let go of all sense of time and responsibility. When our lives are crazy and we cant stop thinking, we go there to find peace. We go there to save the last bit of sanity we have left, we go there to feel rested, we go there to sort out everything in our minds free of interruption. We go there because ultimately its the one place we truly want to be. For some of us this place of serenity is in our own home, it might be the gym, an old building that no one goes, maybe its somewhere in the woods far enough you just feel away from it all. For some it may even be in a book, an alternate reality. When peace is non-existent in our own lives we can for a few moments be in another inside our minds. Wherever your place is, we all have one. Some people might think its stupid, I mean how can a certain place really change your mindset completely right? Well those people may want to give it a try, because once you find that place where you can let go and debrief, it becomes your source of mental relief. It becomes the place you turn to when your having a bad day as well as where you go when you've had the best day. No matter what the reason, that place has sentimental and emotional value to you, it provides comfort and a feeling of security. These emotions and feelings are what we as humans often long for. We want to feel secure and comforted, who knew that those feelings already are or could be right at your very finger tips. Not in a relationship, those come and go it seems like, but in a place that never changes, somewhere that's always there. I have my own little spot of serenity down by the creek. Its still on our property but down there I feel as if I'm in another world. I escape reality and step into this magical forest, Its been special to me since I was young and still is the place where memories come alive. Its the place where imagination flows, the place where I can let go. So I challenge you today, find your place, find where you feel safe and secure. And go there when you need a mental leg up or even when your having the best day of your life. Just cherish that place. :)

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'...
