Directions

Do you ever wonder where you belong in the world? Whats your purpose or God's ultimate plan for your life? This is something that I consider a lot. We're all born with gifts in which God gives us to use to glorify him and to help bring others to come to know Jesus. I think that during our teen years however, trying to figure out where we belong, what school to go to, what to major in, how its all going to work out etc, well it can be quite overwhelming. We're being pulled so many different directions by so many different people and things that some days its like we don't even know which was is up anymore. If your like me then you probably pray a lot asking God to lead you in your life and as I like to put it, "take the reins." This is something we should all do regularly, by praying for God to be in control of our lives, it gives a sense of peace, reassurance. Not reassurance that life will be easy, but that we will end up where we're supposed to be and that we're walking the appropriate path needed to get there. When the world is pulling us a million different directions at a billion miles an hour, it can feel as if stopping for a moment is impossible. This being said, I encourage you to among the caos and the confusion, just stop. Pray and make sure while your looking everywhere constantly that your eyes are always fixed above on the Lord. Our relationship with God is the most important of all and just like any relationship, in order to keep it going strong it needs to be maintained. Take time with your heavenly father, let him guide you and I assure you even if the road isn't the most ideal conditions, you will end up exactly where your supposed to be.

Something I read in my devotions tonight, that I'm honestly not sure how to answer yet and I'd like you to consider and pray about as well for yourself is, "You have one line to describe your life, one sentence for your entire life. What do you want it to be?"

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'...
