One Word That Describes My 2016

    A word to describe 2016 would definitely be BUSY! My family has been so busy with many different activities this year. We had at least 5 church activities a month and if I wasn't with my youth group I was with family or friends ripping the roads. Not to mention all the places we've been to sing. It's just been a non-stop year!

    Some very exciting things have happened this past year. One being me finishing one year of my eleventh grade year! Woop Woop!! I start College (somewhat) in January so I'm really excited to see where this next year will take me. All one more step towards my dream, Med-School. 2016 has totally flown by fast though. One minute we were at the beach and the next were playing in the snow. (If you're up North) down here we have what we call Swinter...no snow, and if it does snow it looks like dirt.

With all the intriguing things that happened this year, there was also a lot of downsides to this year. Let me stop there and say to all you "desperate for the first guy" girls out there, just wait, Prince Charming will come on a white horse one day. You may not even know him yet. Even if some days it does feel like you're gonna be an old cat lady. So that is pretty much the biggest bump in the road I had this year (boy trouble) every girl has it at least once in her life time.

Moving on, overall my year was AWESOME filled with fun and great memories I'll NEVER forget. So much has changed. I am ready to see what 2017 has in store for me, my family, and my friends.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for reading! :)

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...

Before You Find the "Love of Your Life"

I agree that we are a little broken at some point in time. There is not a human on this earth who has not faced some kind of heart-wrenching situation. But, how do we handle this? How do we restore true joy, happiness, and hope? Some people search for it in friends; Others may try to stay busy to keep their mind off of reality; Or, if you are like me, you continue to search for all of these things in a "significant other". Countless relationships end in disaster because we try to fill the void in our life with human help, instead of godly help. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though! I am still learning, I know, but I have dealt with toxic relationships. I have dealt with trying to find safety in someone other than God. It is so unhealthy! So, let's talk about it... This is gonna be a hard pill to swallow, but just hear me out. The first thing you need to do before you think about pursuing any relationship is to BE SATISFIED WITH YOUR STATE OF SINGLENESS! W...

A Worship that Pleases God

Ask yourself: Do I spend time worshiping enough? Is my life truly pleasing the Lord? How do I know I really love the Lord with all that is in me? On today's blog I am gonna share with y'all what God has shown me recently. I just love when God works in my life, but, in order to continue living for him how I should, it's gonna take a great deal more than just rushing through my morning chapter, and a quick prayer everyday. I hope, with Gods help, that I can be a help with y'all in this area! The first question I said to ask yourself was: Do I spend time worshiping enough? Worship is certainly not meant JUST for church! We should worship God in our everyday lives. If you only worship the Lord on Sundays and Wednesdays, that's your first problem. To keep that good relationship and fellowship with God, you need to maintain a worshiping lifestyle. I heard someone say, It's so much easier to live a christian life if you get saved! This could be true in your life...
