Proverbs 19:21

I've tried to write a blog for the last 2 weeks. I've tried and tried, but nothing I would write made much sense. There's something that's weighed so very heavy on my heart and mind for a while now, so I thought I'd take that inspiration and write about it. Here goes nothing...

Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails." This Bible verse has been my rock and place that I turn to when I struggle with what I thought was the plans and direction for my life. The last month of my life has been one of great realization and a huge lesson of putting all of my trust in God. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way, I suppose. Nevertheless, no matter who you are, or what your situation is, the most comforting thing to know is that The Creator of the universe has a plan for you. There's a purpose for you. His knowledge is far better than ours. So, even though it's incredibly difficult to trust what you can't see, it will be worth it on the other side. You WILL get to the other side. 

I'm a blessed young woman to have the life and opportunities that I have. I thank God for His perfect assurance that no matter what I think, His plan is far greater.  You might see the bigger picture, but He sees the BIGGEST picture. I can say with a truly happy heart that my trust is completely in my Lord. Why don't you try doing the same? 

Remember...He knows exactly what He's doing.

What Self-Love Did For Me

Some time around 2013 I wrote my very first blog. As I told you before in my latest post, this was an outlet for me to be an encouragement. Over time, however, it turned into a personally therapeutic pastime. I found myself filling my drafts folder with things I wanted to say, but never had the guts to share. I would write about experiences that hurt me, taught me, broke me, and molded me. I never could quite press the publish button. At one point I deactivated my whole blog site to where I was the only person who could view it. It seemed that I needed my own advice the most at times. Long story short, I became very frustrated with myself that every time my fingers started to type what my heart felt it was the furthest thing from pretty and encouraging. It didn't feel like much of an encouragement for others. So I deleted all of the drafts and put the blog to rest. All of these confusing feelings I had about writing and publishing my life were because I got in my own way by letti...

Skinny & Fat

Image
If it were up to me the words "skinny" and "fat" would be permanently erased from our minds. All my life I've been told I'm too small, scrawny, boney, thin enough to blow away, and things of that sort, like it was okay. Is that really any different than being called fat? It's the same thing, just the opposite end of the spectrum. That fact is that being called fat or skinny, either way, is so wrong and you should NEVER let those terms define you.  Being happy and healthy are what matter. I've always struggled with feeling too skinny and too small. We live in a society where a Kim K booty is what is viewed as attractive, and if any part of you is flat then no part of you is pretty. If you ask my opinion that is a load of garbage. Kim K is beautiful in her own way, just like you, and just like me. Comparison is the thief of joy. Please please please love your body. Woman or man, boy or girl, old or young. LOVE YOURSELF!!!

My Week at Falcon Children's Home

Shew! It's been a while. As many of you know I spent last week, Monday-Friday, at Falcon Children's Home. In order to complete the last level of the Duke Of Edinburgh Award that I've been working to achieve for the last 3 years, I had to do a residential project. I've been around Falcon, NC my whole life. Naturally that was the first place that came to my mind. My family has been affiliated with the International Pentecostal Holiness Church for decades. I've always had an enormous amount of respect for the work that FCH does, but you never can truly appreciate something until you experience it. I wrote 14 pages in a journal in 4 days. I'll be sharing parts of what I wrote during the week too. So, my spill begins. I arrived Monday around noon. I felt ready, confident, and excited to feel some independence! The minute my mom hugged me bye all of that flew out the window, and I knew right then, this was going to be a LONG week. At the same time, I was so happy ...
