Loneliness

I asked my friend for a topic idea tonight seeing as I haven't written in a while and he suggested I do something about feeling alone. God works in mysterious ways, I have a devotional I look through for topic starters sometimes to see what I feel God wants me to discuss. I flipped to a random page and opened up to one called " I am Lonely". Tonight I want to touch on this topic and hopefully help instill in you that, for one your not alone, and two how to handle the feeling we all get now and again. 
   If your like me then sometimes you might ask yourself, how you can feel alone when your in this world seemingly always surrounded by people...? Well truth be known, loneliness actually has nothing to do with the fact of being "alone". Its more of a state of mind and how to fix it may be easier than you may think.
    When we feel lonely our human instinct is to immediately look for another relationship, we look high and low for this ideal relationship that will "solve everything" when in reality the relationship we need, has been right in front of our noses the entire time... I know we've heard that our relationship with the Lord should be our top priority, but how often do we listen? Life can be distracting, new relationships come along, new relationships die out. Why are they failing? Truth be known, without God at the center or our lives, the center of every relationship we have and hope to have, everything falls apart.
  We feel lonely because were lacking a the relationship with the one who guards our hearts, ignites out soul, grants us wisdom and peace. Seek first your relationship with the Lord and watch that loneliness, the uneasy feeling, fade away and be replaced with confidence and peace. Watch as your relationship with God strengthens and strong human relationships grow. Watch God transform your life into what he wants for you and watch yourself change for the better of your life and those around you. Don't be lonely, what you've been looking for is reaching out to you right now <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'...
