Approaching the New Year

Happy new year! Hope you all have a great year. I hope it starts well, ends well, and that all the stuff in the middle turns out well.

Let's live life to the fullest this year. Enjoy the little things more. Not be so anxious about something you're usually anxious about. Spend every day amazed by God. Do something out the ordinary for you. Make lemonade out of the lemons thrown at you.

Like I said, have a good year! Now go do something productive.

My Love Dare

What if we let God fulfill us?

So many girls find their fulfillment from knowing the guy they like likes them back. While it's a sweet, comforting knowledge, it's not life's greatest joys. Real fulfillment can only come from Christ and your relationship with Him. We should be so completely wrapped up in our ''love lives'' with the Lover of our souls instead of fleeting, fickle emotions.

I don't want to be someone who has to have a guy tell me I'm beautiful to feel beautiful. I want to be independent of being absorbed over any guy but Jesus the Love of my life. My Prince. My ever after. Even if I were dog-ugly, I'm precious in His sight and that's good enough for me.

Now, back to that question. What if we did let God fulfill us? What if we were confidant in Him? What if He were all you need? What if we were stopped caring about other's opinions and cared about His opinion?

I'm not saying having a relationship with someone is wrong or not time worthy. I'm just saying that no earthly relationship can ever fulfill completely. I'm not saying that it's not comforting to know someone you like thinks you're beautiful. In fact, it's really really nice. But, it shouldn't consume me.

So, I declare my Independence through my dependency on my relationship with Christ. What about you?

''Welcome to the planet. Welcome to existence. Every one's here. Every one's here. Every body's watching you now. Everybody waits for you now. What happens next? What happens next? I dare you to move. I dare you to move. I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor. I dare you to move. I dare you to move like today never happened. Today never happened before. Welcome to the fallout. Welcome to resistance. Tension is here. Tension is here. Between who you are and who you could be. Between how it is and how it should be. I dare you to move.''

Love Speculation

I'm not talking necessarily about boy/girl relationships, I'm talking about anyone you love in your life.
It's funny how when we're close to someone, we're afraid of hurting them and sometimes end up hurting them anyway. Maybe not even intentionally. Like, this person means so much to you and you don't want anything bad to happen to them 'cause you'd hurt to. Then you hurt them. You still feel the pain and think ''Why did I do that??''
Why do we do that?

One of Those Moments

It's one of those moments where everything's clear. Ever have those? Like your eyes are opened to the situation with all the lights on so you can see everything.

''For Everything There's an Analogy...

This time it's nebulae. A star ages and ages until it turns into a red giant. Once a red giant gets really really hot, it explodes and there are leftover gasses that are amazing to see. Things don't always go right in life, it's inevitable. No one ever said life is fair. But even when it feels like everything is going wrong and we can't take it and life just explodes on us, God can still turn that explosion into something beautiful for His glory. ''The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handy work. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.''- Psalm 19:1&2. So, next time life ''explodes'' on you, just remember that God can turn your explosions into something beautiful.''

After all the explosions, God's been at the end saying, ''Okay, you made it through that. You survived. You're not dead yet, now are ya? Every time I've been there with you and I'll continue to be there and give you My strength according to My riches. Let's keep going now.'' And we keep going and something else happens, but it's okay. I survive every time because of God's strength. Not my strength, 'cause in my own strength, I'd be a goner. Thank You for Your strength, God.

First Post

I finally decided to get my own independent blog. So, just some facts about me: I'm not perfect and I don't try to be. I mess up a lot, I use too much sarcasm and it comes back to bite me. I love the English language, it's beautiful. I think llamas are some of the coolest animals, second to dogs. I like the color green, it's relaxing and rejuvenating. Reading is my favorite hobby. Give me a book and I'll be happy.
That's just a little about me, so I'll get started on my speculating.
