Cause of Bullying?

When we think about bullying, whether we think about when we were bullied ourselves, someone we know being bullied or even just what the whole concept is, we often try to dissect "why". Why me? Or why him? Why her? Yet no matter how many times we ask, there's never a clear answer why a person is targeted or bullied. During this Christmas season I'd like to present a new idea for everyone to think about. Jesus is the center of Christmas and I won't apologize for blatantly saying so. Through my study of the bible and especially thinking and learning during the Christmas season, I have run across a fact I find very interesting... Throughout the bible It is made very clear that Jesus was harshly treated, out-casted, and ridiculed. In more modern terms, he was bullied. As we study these accounts we may wonder why, he never sinned or did anything of wrong or unlawful nature, so why was he targeted? There was no reason and that's exactly the point. Those who strive to do good, those who strive to be lawful and morally correct are often the ones targeted. This isn't a new trend, it started thousands of years ago with the only man to never commit a single sin... If you encounter bullying as I hope and pray you never do, or someone you know encounters it, remember you are not alone. Jesus knows everything you feel, even down to being bullied, and take comfort in the fact you either do or can serve a God who is always on your side no matter what your going through, who has been where you are and knows what it's like, and who was born in poverty only to rise up and become a leader, an example, and father to all. This Christmas season, know your not alone and also know that if you have been bullied there is nothing wrong with you! Your perfect just the way you are!

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'...
