Easter

 As I've been reflecting upon this amazing day in history, the resurrection of Jesus many thoughts have come to mind. On this day victory was bestowed upon God, he conquered death, he trampled sin, and he payed the price none of us could ever atone for. In our world today it's easy to see God as distant, it's easy to think he's even forgotten about us at some points, yet if you truly take a look around you'll see the many areas God is still working over 2000 years later. On good Friday Morgan Wallen released the song, "Don't Think Jesus", if you haven't heard it yet it's worth a listen. The song is basically a country gospel song and it has managed to reach millions in today's generation that perhaps have never heard gospel music before. Some may say it's coincidental it was released on good Friday. I don't think there's coincidences, rather what I know is that God has a plan and his plan will be completed to perfection. Nothing in this world can put a halt to God's plan, nothing in this world can pause or prohibit the work he is doing daily. Easter is the celebration of the future and not just hope but flat out assurance we have in Jesus Christ. For me personally today is a beautiful reminder that though we deserve nothing, we deserve death as rightful punishment for sin, God says no, I love you enough to send my own son to pay the price for you, not because you deserve it, not because you will ever earn it, but because my love for you is greater then sin, it's greater then death, and I created you for a divine purpose. If your doubting your purpose or God's plan for your life let today be a reminder that God is victorious and your breathing today because he has a reason for you to be here, he loves you and though we could never earn his love he gives it graciously. Go forth in faith and trust in the one who holds it all.

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...

Special Trip

Hey guys/ and gals!  I hope you have all had a great start of fall, I just got back from Hawaii last night and let me just say I'm feeling truly blessed! We go to Hawaii a lot since we have a timeshare and as I've mentioned in the past, we attend church on the island. This trip however was unlike any other. I feel like God gave me so many opportunities and opened my mind to a lot of new things, there's so much I want to share with you right now that I hardly know where to start.  When your in the moment , you tend to brush off the little things. Then as you look back you realize those little things were what  mattered the most. I learned so much on this trip and especially about relationships. Both relationships with the people around me at the time and the relationships that were waiting for me to come home. Lets start with what I learned about the people around me on the trip why don't we :).  The day we flew in ,I got to go to my best friends 21st birthday! I fee...
