Hey guys! I think every once in a while our focus needs to be reset onto God and our true purpose, which is living for Christ. We are like air filters constantly being attacked with sin and corruption from this world and lots of time we just need to be cleaned out. We need to be reminded that this is not our home and we are not here for earthly pleasures. We are here to glorify the King of Kings and show the world his grace, mercy and unfailing love.

Hey people! (I know 2 posts in one day astonishing) anyways I just wanted to share this motivational thought I had. So I was worrying about school, relationships, the future... like usual, then I stepped back and realized that I waste so much time being afraid that I am screwing up my life, because of a bad grade, or because I said something wrong. God made me the way I am for a perfect reason, and if I didn't have these struggles I wouldn't be able to achieve the purpose God has sent me to do. For example if I got all A's (which I assure you I don't) made I wouldn't go to the college that God wants me to and then I wouldn't meet certain people etc. I read this devotional book called "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young and it is constantly explaining that we should thank God for our struggles because without them 1. we wouldn't be so dependent on God (good thing) 2. it teaches us to trust God 3. we wouldn't be fully equip for the plans God has for us. Luke 12:25,26 says " Who of you worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" and Proverbs 19:21 says " Many are the plans in a man;s heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Hope this helps to motivate you guys to trust God's plan! I know once I really began to trust God I truly had peace and life didn't seem so overwhelming! Well night!

Hey Guys! Well yet again it has been awhile. So I am constantly on pinterest and I saw this quote on there when I was feeling down and helpless,and when I read it my spirits were immediately uplifted! I have always conscientiously known that Jesus lived inside me (metaphorically), but how cool is it to think that the power that conquered death is inside us! Wow is that motivational or what! I just want to go climb a huge mountain or something super crazy. I mean this puts a whole new perspective on nothing is impossible. So whenever you feel broken down by the world and think that you are not "qualified" for the road ahead remember that the power that lives inside of you conquered death and remember that "I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength" Philippians 4:13. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter Ya'll! Today is the day we celebrate Jesus' resurrection! Praise to God, he has risen and washed us of our sins! "The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay," Matthew 28:5,6 Jesus conquered the grave! He took our rightful place so that we could be with him for eternity so how can we not praise him for the rest of our life. God is good All the time and all the time God is good.

Ok usually the images I post are verses, but this quote really hit me. "If the whole world was blind. How many people would you impress?" I am super guilty of this, looks looks looks, we get up everyday and find ourselves tweaking our style our looks to please the eyes of others. We use our clothes and stature to define us rather than our words. 1 Peter 3:4 says, "Your beauty should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight" so today (or tomorrow if you're reading this tonight) live your life if people could only "see" you by your words rather than appearance and use your words to reflect Christ.

This last weekend I went to a Dnow at a local church and the first night the preacher spoke from Jonah. Now I grew up on church and the story of Jonah is the story everyone knows, but this preacher opened my eyes to a whole new meaning of Jonah's story. I remember when hearing the story of Jonah thinking " man I would never do that" , but I realized that I do exactly what Jonah did every single day. I think that my plan is better than God's, I think that God doesn't know best all the time. Instead of doing what the bible says I follow the world because it's convenient. Jonah disobeyed God because his mission seemed impossible; and I do that everyday, I don't honor my parents or I lie or say something mean. The story of Jonah shows us how if we follow God's plan we could skip the heart ache and be could live the amazing life God had planned for us. God has the perfect plan for us and if we follow him we can live a fulfilling and joyful life. 

Hey guys! Well it's been a month at least since I have posted, January has been been full of ups and downs. My main focus this month has been trust. Trusting God in every moment of everyday. Trusting him with things go perfect or go terribly wrong; knowing that I don't have to worry about what I do or anything because I know whatever happens God has a reason. When people come or people leave God has a plan, it has really lifted a weight from my shoulders now that I don't have to worry about my future and college and relationships. Knowing that God is in control is the best feeling ever. Pslam 20:24 says, "A persons's steps are directed by The Lord How can anyone understand their own way?" God knows you and the best for you, he has already planned your steps so trust in him and he will give you peace. Something that helps me when I get worried or stressed I whisper in my mind or out loud "I trust you God" and the more I say it life becomes more and more  peaceful.
