What to do when you are having a Bad Day

Everyone has one. It may creep up on you, or you may see it coming. A bad day. No one I know likes one or tries to embrace it. But what can you do about it? Face it head on... eat away your feelings, lay in bed feeling sorry for yourself? Me, i've done all 3 but now i realize i just have to pray it out before i do any of the rest of the things previously mentioned. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" I'm learning, and re-learning that God doesn't give us anything he knows we can not handle, and we can always lean on him. So next time you are having a bad day, take a deep breath, relax, pray, and just be assured that God can handle everything and anything, give it up to him and it'll all be worked out.

Too blessed to be stressed. xoxo

When you feel unwanted, know God wants everything to do with you!

I know it has been awhile since i've last blogged, and i can chalk it up to busyness, lazyness, or just lack of knowing what to say...but i'm back. Currently i've been struggling through feeling wanted. I know that may sound weird or crazy, but let me explain. I come from a family of unsaved people, and the boyfriend who is now an ex, was the one of the few encouraging people and best friends i had in this world. Having a best friend like that and then losing them is one of the hardest things i've ever had to go through, but the Lord is good, and i've met and have gotten close to a lot of wonderful young women at my churches that I attend. What happens if the ex/old best friend starts to date again? It gives off a mixture of emotions. Even though I am over the fact that we aren't meant to be together, and am okay with it and moving on....the whole not really having a friendship anymore kills me. I know I need to be patient and cling to the Lord, and I am doing ...

Forgiveness (is more than saying sorry...)

Yes, my title is a quote from "Just Friends" -- but it is very much true. Forgiveness is definitely more than saying sorry. It says a lot of things when you are able to forgive. When you forgive someone -- it doesn't mean you agree with them. It means you love them enough to choose to forgive them, rather than hold a grudge and tear down the relationship. When you forgive someone -- it allows you to love them on another level. When you forgive someone -- the burden, stress, and anger is lifted. When you forgive someone -- it doesn't mean you forget what they did or said, it means you will not hold it against them any longer. When you forgive someone -- you are loving as Jesus loved. To me, being a Christ loving, following young lady -- it all goes back to him. He showed me what forgiveness looked like -- and then demonstrated it for me. It is because of him choosing to hang there and die upon the cross - that I am fully forgiven, and fully free. How can I ...

How Far I've Come, How Far I Have To Go, I Will Rejoice Along The Way

So I've been looking at old posts, and have seen them for what they are: old. Also, different. Different because I have realized, I'm not that girl anymore. I've grown...emotionally and spiritually. The Brandon Heath song "I'm not who I was", comes to mind. I'm not who I was back then. I've been steadily changing every month, every week, and every day. I have one special man to thank for that: Jesus. I praise Him for giving me the strength and whatever else is needed to REJOICE in ANY and ALL things. It may be hard (and trust me, it is A LOT harder than it sounds!) This last year has looked nothing like I thought it would, but for that I am thankful. Each day to us is a gift, and learning to look at each day as just that, has been wonderful! Wondering instead of worrying of what each day will hold, and looking and seeing all the blessings I've received on a daily basis has been nothing short of amazing. I've learned two things this last year: ...
