Happy Anniversary!!!

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my blog! Ahhh I am so thankful for today, for this blog and for the impact it has had on my life.

When you behold the gospel EVERYTHING changes. So today instead of telling you how he was the difference maker in my life, I figured I could show you! Some of these pictures are a little over a year ago but all still applies. I am not ashamed of the person I use to be, instead I rejoice because of how far Jesus Christ has brought me. 

These two three pictures are from Winter of 2013 and Jan of 2014.... Yup. Take it all in with me. I wasn't happy with myself so I did things that I shouldn't have. I was sneaking into place that were 21 and up, I was hanging out with the wrong crowd of people. I was always looking to have fun, but was it truly fun, NO. This is a mask, this is me turning a blind eye on Jesus.
 So let me tell you what happens when you turn a blind eye on Jesus, you stir yourself into an uncharted playground, where sin and idols take over. Where you find something that you assume is better than Jesus. What's better than unending love of God? I have no idea, but what I thought was better was my social life, drinking, getting over a broken heart, being young....etc. This can lead you down a road that you can never imagine. Trust me, I know.

 But what this blog has done for me is far than amazing. It's amazing what God can do in your life when you just give him 100% of you. That's what I did with this blog, I spent more of my time with my eyes on Jesus rather than on myself. I began to crave him with all of me. I want to learn more about him, I want to be more like him in everything I do. (I am so emotional....) My Journey with loving Jesus is never over and this is just the beginning.

1 year ago today
                                           
                                                    Present day

Today, I get to celebrate the day I started blogging about God. I decided to blog because I wanted a reason to learn more of Jesus, have more hope for Jesus, to fall in love with Jesus. And because of God's will on my life because of the gospel because of the cross, I got to do all the things I wanted. I've never been so in love with someone so much like I am for Christ our Lord. He has saved me from addictions, lust, pain, hurt, and angry. However, I still fall short of him, I continue to fail him. So just like I did a year ago, I have created new focuses with my walk with Christ. I am so blessed that I have received Christ the way I did. I am so glad that I had to fall to my knees in order to see the Cross. 



Father, I am still failing you and I will constantly fail you until I am reunited with you again. Until that day come let me more like you, Jesus. Let me love because you have loved all of the world. You gave you one and only son's life up, so that I may have eternal life. Let me rejoice in that with unending praise. Thank you God for the cross and for loving me.

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 ...
