Time, relationships, vulnerability

 Time is a weird thing. It comes and goes, time doesn't stop because life gets hard, it moves on with or without you so at the end of the day I've learned it's best to try and move wirh it. That's not to say however sometimes it doesn't feel like life stops all together... Time is interesting the way it passes especially when you spend long periods of said time with another person. Marriage is a gift, I truly believe that and unfortunately it is abused in this day in age, people don't take the commitment seriously or they enter into said commitment not remotely ready to commit at all. I haven't been very public about my life the last few months, for a few weeks in December time did seemingly stop for me. My very soon ex husband left a week before Christmas and honestly I thought the world stopped turning. I questioned love, I questioned relationships, I questioned time, the way time works and why I spent such a chunk of my life on someone who could just leave me that easy. I'm sure your wondering why I'm sharing this now, well on the other side almost finished with one of the hardest situations of my life, I know love exists again and I know that there is more to this life then the actiosn of another person. I know my worth and I know that God has a plan amidst all this. It has become an opportunity to find real love, a love I wouldn't have found without all that has transpired. Its become an opportunity to reinvent myself and figure out who I truly want to be. I want to write this tonight as encouragement to anyone struggling, there is more to this life even if you feel as if the world has stopped all together. Even if you struggle to get out of bed due to what your facing in life, there is more. Your situation does not define you. This situation is not the end, once you begin to see it as a new beginning, trust me it will lose its toxic power over you.

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'...
