5 Things I Love About the Holidays

1.The Food
    Alright, so I DO NOT exaggerate when I say FOOD IS LIFE! But there's just something about food during the Holidays that makes it that much more special. It's like the one time of year you have turkey, dressing, and every dessert ever invented in Grandmas kitchen. Guess you could say I gain about 10 pounds around this time of year because of all the cheese cake.

2.The Flavors
   Peppermint, Gingerbread, Pumpkin Spice, Chestnut Praline, etc., you name it, usually Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts has it! Although the lines are ALWAYS long, because of us basic white girls, it's definitely worth it. I think my favorite drink will forever be peppermint mocha! It's like a big'ole cup of Christmas.

3.Christmas Lights 
    I absolutely love, love, love, Christmas lights. I feel like a little baby seeing a fan spin for the first time! (Maybe that's a tweek bit over-exaggerated) But they're amazing, and my family goes to see lights at least 10 times every year. We could probably be a family from Who-ville with all the Christmas lights we put up.

4.Christmas Shopping 
    I'm not usually too big a fan of shopping, but I love finding out what my friends and family want for Christmas and searching for it. We take Black Friday seriously in my family. I really think it's the best entertainment you get on Thanksgiving! The fighting is pretty hysterical. I've seen it get to fighting over a pack of rags!!

5.Christmas Movies 
    Okay, so, this is probably my most favorite thing about the Holidays, CHRISTMAS MOVIES!!! I mean you have Hallmark, ELF, The Grinch, Santa Claus, The Polar Express, etc.. Also let me add, Netflix is a huge blessing providing tons of Christmas movies. And yeah it's okay to lay around all day and watch them, we all do it don't feel guilty.

So that is what I love most about the Holiday season. This time of year is a bundle of joy filled with carbs and sugar. Thanks for reading! 🎄Merry Christmas🎄

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart

So, this blog is probably gonna be a bit scattered just because this has been on my heart for the past couple of weeks, and I just couldn't find the words to say. But, after pondering on it for a while, and doing some research, I think I can finally sit down and write up a blog for y'all! On my phone I have the "Bible by Tecarta" app, and it notifies each morning with a daily Bible verse. A couple weeks back I woke up to Mark 7:20-23 , and God quickly laid it on my heart to read that whole chapter. So, I did, and wow. It's one of those moments where you know you've been praying for something, and God just finally shows you what to do, or how to fix it. Anyone else know how that feels? When I came to verse 6, I began to cry. It says: "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrisies, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." I'd recently been praying for God to help...

Dare To Be a Deborah

Hey Y'all! It's been a few weeks since I last blogged, and I am SO SORRY!! With the Holidays rolling around it's been pretty busy. These past few weeks I've been studying about a woman named Deborah from the book of Judges. Some may know who I'm talking about, and some may not. My Pastor has been going through the book of Judges on Wednesday nights, and I absolutely love it! A few weeks ago we got to the story of Deborah and Barak. I had already been thinking about doing a study on a woman in the Bible, and then God told me she was my woman! So, I read, studied, and researched, and now I'm gonna share with y'all what God gave me.      If you know anything about the book of Judges, you know it's all about Israel's  up and down life of serving the Lord. One day they wanted to do right, and the next they were right back to sinning. So, God raised up these Judges to lead them. In chapter 4, God raises up a woman Judge named Deborah. Just like always, I...

How to Be Spiritually Minded in a World Where it Seems Impossible

I made a post on Instagram recently telling everyone I've been going through the books of Romans and Daniel. Digging deeper into both of them has been SO much fun, but today I want to focus on chapter 8 of Romans. First off I want to say it is NOT hard if you really want it. Having the mindset to serve Christ is so much easier when you really strive to do what's right in God's eyes. So, that being said, how do we stay spiritually minded in a World where it seems "IMPOSSIBLE"? I'm gonna give a list of some things that I KNOW (from experience) ruin our minds, and make us want to live in ways we shouldn't want to.  1. MUSIC      Boy, has this ruined me MANY times! It seems like music is that one HUGE problem most youth have. And yes, people call "my kind of people" crazy for our view on what music you should listen to, but it really does matter!! Take King Saul for example. 1 Samuel 16:23 says " And it came to pass, when the  evil  spirit ...
