By now, I feel like most of us have heard that oh-so-catchy Robin Thicke song, Blurred lines. I have heard this song every day...three times a day, for about a week straight. (or so it seems) The last time I heard it, I really focused on the words, (I'm a words person) and it hit me. What are my blurred lines? Why do we have blurred lines? How do we "fix" our blurred lines?! We have blurred lines because of where our eyes become fixed. When our eyes become fixed on things other than the Lord, our vision becomes blurred. Our "lines" of right and wrong become blurred. Our choices and thinking becomes blurred. So what do we do about that? Well, if any of y'all are like me, sometimes I turn on my music, I sing, I dance, sometimes go for a run. The one thing we should always do, that's always there for us, is the Gospel. Run to that. The more and more we immerse ourselves in truth, the less blurred the lines become. It sounds so simple, because it ac...

We've all had those times where we find out someone doesn't like us. Maybe it's someone we've been crushing on, maybe it's a "friend", or maybe it's a co-worker. In any case, if any of y'all are like me, (aka people pleaser) then you know it just absolutely stinks when you find out someone doesn't like you. Today at work, I had one of my co-workers (who is also a christian) come and tell me in confidence, that he accidentally caught one of my co-workers (the same co-worker who I've been helping at close to clean up every night) talking about me to another co-worker. Why did my one co-worker tell me this? No, my co-worker wasn't trying to gossip. My co-worker was just trying to give me a heads-up, and let me know how she really feels. Did this upset me? Of course. Did I get a little angry? A little. Then, I remembered something. How much in one day does God show me grace and mercy? Shouldn't I in turn show my co-worker the same? Hec...

Yesterday, March 19th, 2013, was a fabulous day. I woke up and had a great time in the Word and in prayer, went to work (and only had 5 kids in my class), had lunch with my mama ($5 salad sale at Saladworks!) bought the cutest Easter dress, and ended the night at Bible study with a great group of friends. Today, March 20th, 2013, was not so fabulous. I woke up, and my time in the Word talked about finding the joy in suffering...that should have been my clue right there! After prayer, and my usual morning routine, I got into my car to go to work, and my car (which is known to make funny noises) was making an abnormally strange noise, but I didn't think it was all that bad...considering I did make it to work. After getting to work, I managed to slice my thumb open. Quickly remembering my devotional from the morning, I found joy in the fact that I split my thumb on scissors I was using to open up a brand new puzzle for my preschoolers. After "fixing" my thumb up, the rest...

It's January of a new year. What does that mean? It means that New Year's resolutions are still in tact (hopefully) and with this post, I will complete one of mine. One of my New Year's resolutions, (and by the end of the post you will know them all) is to be more open, writing a new post every two weeks. Why? Simply because I can, and I actually want to. Am I or is my life that interesting? Well, we will find out!  My other New Year's resolutions are as follows: be more bold, and more bold for the Lord. Always love on people, and do so with truth and grace, continue to grow deeper in the word and in my relationship with the Lord, and spread the Gospel as much as I can to whoever I can. This year has been crazy, but what I've been learning lately, is to pray big things, because the Lord does big things. So I have been down on my knees praying hard for things, but what happens when those big things you wanted, aren't answered in the way you want them to be? Yo...
