i was given a heart that always has something on it...here is where i share what they are.

Life can sometimes seem like a big, scary monster that you can’t escape but if we realize who is holding our hand throughout this crazy journey, I think we’d feel a lot safer and have a peace that is hard to attain. I know who holds my hand and I am beyond thankful.

Something I keep learning about myself…I’m so not a complex person! I am very easily pleased and I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing but so far, it’s been to my benefit! The simplest things make me happy.  For example, I had HB come over today and all we did was do laundry, go to the grocery store, bake, and take a walk yet I feel so full from the day’s activities. (in a good, satisfied way, of course!) I don’t have to always have a set plan to feel accomplished or have fun and that’s such a wonderful thing.  Be simple. Today also reminded me how my #1 Love Language is definitely quality time.  I could seriously do anything and have a great time as long as I’m in the company of people I love and enjoy being around.  That is literally more than enough for me.  Oh the joys of being young and learning things about yourself every single day!  Cheers to growing up!

“i don’t want to be her. i just want to be little old me.”

always be the captivating “you” that you are, ladies & gentlemen.

I have to believe that things are going to be good.  No matter how much I hate certain circumstances that surround me, I have to cling to hope…I have to. I just keep telling myself that over and over again even when I don’t feel the conviction.  I’m not gonna lie to you guys, some days I just want to break down so badly and run away from the mess life can make sometimes.  that’s just me being honest.  but I’ve recently been reminded that everything is beautiful in God’s time. everything.  is. beautiful.

(That’s a picture of me “au natural” lol…a lot different from my profile pictures, right? hehe) NOBLE BEAUTY Ever since my middle school days, I have ALWAYS worn make up.  The older I got, the more I wore.  I learned to depend on make up to make me feel beautiful and have confidence in myself.  How I looked on the outer surface consumed me until the point that if I wasn’t all done up, I would not feel pretty at all.  Lately, I’ve been convicted more than ever that my self-confidence should come from who I am as a person.  (Before, Make-up on = confidence Make-up off= no confidence)  I was out the other day with HB and I seriously looked like I just woke up, but for some reason I felt great!  I’ve been praying and training myself to not use my outer appearance to define who I am and how I feel about myself.   I know I am nowhere near perfect at all but because I know that I can become a better me through Christ’s guidance and I am in that process now, I can say that I really love who the Lord is molding me to be.  My confidence no longer lies in what the world says or anything, but in who God is and who he is in me.  Make-up, clothes, etc….these things do not show/tell of who I am in any way. I challenge all of you, especially the ladies, to re-evaluate yourselves.  Look beyond the surface.  You are magnificent.

NOBLE BEAUTY

life has been so weird and so funny lately, yet so beautiful too.  im learning more and more about myself and the things that really touch my heart.  (so cheesy haha)  for instance, everything about today basically showed me how i love the simpler things in life.  i am not very hard to please AT ALL.  i think that when we begin to seek out beauty in the mundane, we are bound to have more joy and love/live life to the fullest. :)

What can I do for you?

Man, I cant even begin to tell you how much I admire people who don’t care about anything but other people! HAHA does that make sense?

I have been so blessed to have opportunities where I can go and meet some amazing people that I wouldn’t normally cross paths with.  These are people who have such different backgrounds/lifestyles from me and may be considered “less privileged” but these are people who I see as ones who are far greater than me in every possible way.  I love how they don’t put their happiness and self worth in material possessions and don’t try to make things all about themselves.  They truly have thee most genuinely pure and humble hearts.  They love greater than anyone I know, they care greater than anyone I know, they have more joy than anyone I know…the list goes on and on.  They truly humble me and teach me so many things.  

I truly hope and pray that I can be one who never tries to be the attention getter or the one who likes to show off…I hope and pray that God can give me a truly humble heart and give me a heart that is all about serving other people. 

This is one of those things I hope to be known for when I die.  These are my favorite kind of people :)

two blogs in one day?!

i just really quickly want to stress how incredibly important it is to have the right friends.  friends who will lift you up with words of encouragement and always have your back.  friends who are not afraid to tell you that youre wrong when you are.  friends who understand your heart and your convictions. friends who love to spend time with you.  friends who are not all about their business but yours as well. friends who will always be after your best interest. friend who put you before themselves.  

i have been so incredibly blessed with a few friends who reflect all these things that i’ve just listed and it makes my life so much more colorful and bright.
