Revenge??

Revenge is a funny topic, it's funny because we somehow think we have the right to act on it or even merely ponder it... Revenge is inflicting pain or harm on someone who has previously done the same to you or another person. Oddly enough we as humans think we have the right to do this. We think we have the right to hurt someone simply because they have hurt us. How messed up is this idea? We seem to think because someone else caused us hurt, that we should then cause them hurt in return? What is this teaching those around us? Well it's definitely not teaching God's love. We are called to be a light in this world, to build each other up, no matter if they have harmed us or caused us pain, we need to be the ones willing to help someone free of judgement. We need to see our pain as a chance to learn and grow, a chance to know how something feels and be able to help someone else through a situation down the road. We need to be able to see past our pain in the moment and see God's plan for that pain in the future. Faith is believing not that God can, but that God will, its believing that the unseen promises and plans for our life will prevail. Along with faith comes a journey, a special journey for each and every one of us in which none are the same or maybe not even remotely alike. All of our journeys however have a purpose to spread God's word and love. So when the world speaks of revenge toward the harsh actions implemented on us, let us not take the path of the world, but the path of Lord. Let's choose healing and wisdom instead of torment and irrational decisions.

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'...
