Life With A Purpose

Well, 2019 is finally upon us and New Years Day is coming to a close,  and the beginning of the year when we all make resolutions for the next 365 days. I have made a few resolutions for this upcoming year,  I have decided to make these goals simple; we seem to over complicate life way too much and this year I want it to be simple. So here are a few of my resolutions: ....I want to dive into the Word more and be open to make myself uncomfortable in different situations ....Stay mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy ....Think less of me and more of others, I want to be willingly to give up my wants, to give my wants to the needs of others ....I want to talk and explore the important things in life with others around me In already experiencing some hardships in the last month  I know that this life has its seasons, some being beautiful, others not so much. So going into this new year...

Our lives are full of FIRSTS = FACT We have... ~ our FIRST words..which are actually a cry. This cry has been built up over 10 months and when you finally receive your first intake of oxygen we release it as a cry. If your not crying then something is wrong! (Sorry I was totally nerding out there) ~ then comes our FIRST steps...which everyone tries to capture on camera and if it isn't captured we try to remake it. ~ next our FIRST actual words.... which normally consists of mom or da-da; which to almost every human being is the cutest thing on Earth. ~ then for every year after the age of 4 our FIRST day of school...which is where I am at right now. When we were younger this FIRST day was so much easier, there were no worries of college, adult life, and the overwhelming responsibilities. Before the realities of life settled in this FIRST day was exciting, all you had to worry about was wondering when you would see your best friend, what you were going to have for lunch, o...

One moment. One minute. One whole 60 seconds of pure happiness. That's all it takes. That one moment of your day that seems absolutely amazing that no one can destroy it. But... The storm comes. Reality. Insecurities. Hurt. Anger. Doubts. Sickness. Pain. Death. ....all come crashing in, the storms of life. Sometimes they come in small amounts of rain or huge waves. Big or small it is a storm and it leaves some sort of damage. So the question remains... How are we going battle/prevent these storms? How can a single small action, in return make the rest of our lives better? What is that action? Do we take precautions? Do we wait to see how life will pan out? Our answer lies in Him and Scripture and only in Him can we find peace. ...... Enjoy it. Enjoy your one moment of... Happiness. Joy. Laughter. Love. Contentment. Because for some it does not last very long. That one moment can change your outlook on life and it...

"It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming… If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it, do it, don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever. Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle’s gonna come from. The next memory. The next smile. The next wish come true. But if you believe that it’s right around the corner. And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it. To the certainty of it. You might just get the thing yo...

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;  for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;  and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." ~Audrey Hepburn As a beautiful actress/singer once said.. be  you  no matter what because you are never alone.  The feeling of not having self-worth is wide spread over the nation and the world and it needs to be  addressed.  Do not doubt your worth because  the sun, moon, and stars are lucky to be  looking down on you.  They admire your  strength, dignity, and perseverance.  They  believe that you are strong and willing  to make  a change if you want to.. and  if you don't then they  support it . If you are trying to make a  change, then  DO IT.  Don't hold back. Don't change half-way.  No one is standing  in your way. If you ...

Life has a sense of uncertainty in all of it's aspects. Some have their life planned out and believe/think that they have it all together. Which it is unfortunate for them because they have NO CONTROL of it. It makes me sad to think that believe that. I'm not saying that you can't hope, wish, and dream. In which you can do all of those things. But there is a time in your life when we need to face reality. Which is hard, cold, and real. This sounds very point blank....but it is. Life is MESSY, HURTFUL, LONELY, and very UNCERTAIN. Life is MESSY...twisted minds, messed up families, and weird circumstances. This is mind blowing that life can be messy, there is not a right from wrong in this moment and even if there is a right from wrong, you don't even know the difference. You are sitting there wondering how you reached this point when you no longer have control of your life. It unravels and you feel as if you have to let it go. If you don't, then what are you reall...
