Wants < Needs

I remember in high school having a crush on this boy, (well actually turned out to be my first kiss), he was mister popular, he dressed great, he was handsome, and a pretty sweet talker. Man, I thought he was the full package!  Here's where this story get interesting, I got my first kiss by him when I was a sophomore in high school. Then a week later, he kissed my friend for her 16th birthday. Yeah he was the full package alright. 

My mom use to say to me "We want what we don't need, and what we need we don't want." It made no sense I use to think she was just being a mom, but I have come to realize that it's the truth, especially, dealing with the boy who gave me my first kiss. In life we want the most prized possessions. Sometimes those things that we think we need in our lives aren't right for us. I am today still living and learning how to separate my needs from my wants.


We need to look towards Christ and trust that he will separate our wants from our needs. Opening up to the Lord and trusting to show you what is needed in your life.

Psalms 31:14 | 
But I trust in you, O Lord!
I declare, “You are my God!”

God begins to work in magical and incredible once you put all trust and faith in him. He reveals things to you like, the things we thought we needed, he shows you the outcome of following that path. However, he shows the path of following him as well. Trust him and allow God to tell you the difference between what you need and what you just desire.

Take a minute.

Life moves fast sometimes, to fast. Sometimes we get to wrapped up in the fast life and we forget the little things. I know I can admit, I become easily distracted by the little things. That little thing can distract me, and can become a big distraction, and that big distraction can cause me to stray away from what I know is best or right. So we must remember to not to get distracted or become overwhelm. Just take a minute to breathe and bask in the beauty, that Jesus Christ has created for us. The other night, as well as, the night before I found myself looking up at the stars, all billion of those beautiful stars and how they light up the sky. Just makes me realize how amazing our God is, for him to place all those stars in the sky and light up the night the way they do is amazing. I just need everyone to look at how amazing the sky looks at night. Just look how amazing the sky looks, although this isn't a picture I took, it's still a picture of God's w...

Jesus, Take the Wheel!!!!!!!

You know that saying people would say "Jesus take the wheel," have you ever thought about what that means. Well I figured I could provide a good example:  Now that you got a good laugh, lets really talk. I remember growing in people would say that saying and I never really understood what it meant. So now that I am older, I use to say "Jesus, take the wheel" I remember saying it when I was stressed out or when a friend of mines was acting inappropriately. When we think of such a saying, we want God to have control because we lack all control. But shouldn't God always be driving the car in your life? And what does that look like when you truly let Jesus drive? For me that means I need to surrender. I am still allowing myself to put other things in God's place. I am driving to a destination that I chose to worship other than God. Simply, I am idolizing something that isn't God. You will always be driving on a never ending road when you chose s...

Simple Things.

I got this Awesome coffee mug yesterday, and I am absolutely obsessed with it. First, it says You are an Amazing Woman . Second, the rim of the mug is Proverbs 31: 29 | " Many Women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." This is such a inspirational mug not because of who said, simply because it's a word of God. Words of confirmation and positivity, ladies if this doesn't lift your spirits in the morning, then I don't know what will. Let's thank God for the simple things like waking up, and getting an awesome mug. God you are an amazing father, you never fail in love for me. And I thank you for that. Thank you for whipping away my sins, for sending your one and only son to die on the cross for me. What an awesome God you are, and you deserve nothing less than the highest praise! I walk into the upcoming week with my eyes directed on you, and knowledge of knowing that everything that will happen through you and for you. You are my Savior Jesus ...
