Music Focus

You know that moment when you hear a certain song and it just speaks to you? I have a lot of those moments haha. There's two songs in particular that have really gotten my attention lately. "Flashlight" by Hunter Hays and "Somebody To Thank" by Logan Mize. Hunter is a country artist but this particular song is very faith based when you stop and listen to the lyrics. He talks about how were all sinners and how God seems to find us in our darkest places. He mentions little miracles that most might not even consider "miracles", he reminds us that although we are not worthy of Gods grace , we are still loved by God. God never abandons us! "Who am I of dust and water, touched by the divine." Just one lyrics from Hunter's song where he demonstrates God giving us grace even though we have done nothing to deserve it. This song has really just touched me and reminded me that Gods miracles do show up in the simplest ways like "A sunrise from a lonely night" or "A smile in a strangers eyes." These simple things that I think we often take for granted and I love the reminders that this song gives, while giving praise back to the Lord.
       The second song " Somebody To Thank" by Logan Mize is another song I love at the moment, especially as we are nearing thanksgiving time :)). In this song he reminds us that we all have somebody to thank, no matter who we are. He mentions thanking his parents for 18 years of gassing up his truck, his friends, he mentions the love of his life who he thanks every day. The lyrics are so great because its true, no matter who you are, someone at some point in your life has done something for you to be thankful for. Aside from people he mentions thanking the Lord for every day he's lived and every day he will live. This is another thing I think we take for granted, who remembers to thank God for just getting to wake up in the morning?? That's truly a blessing right there, and how often do we thank the people in our lives and remind them how much we care about them, and how truly thankful we are. We need to be a people of the moment, if we want to tell a loved one something then we need to say it. Don't wait until tomorrow because tomorrow is never a grantee. If were lucky enough to get that "tomorrow", then thank the Lord because its all thanks to him that we live another day!

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'...
