New year, New start, New me!

It's hard to believe that 2012 is gone and done with. So much has happened, and time flies by! I moved to a new house, got a job with Ralph Lauren, started riding again and found a wonderful church. But i have realized that sometimes God has to force you out of seasons in your life to get you to where you need to be.

The past year and a half has been a chapter of faith and learning to let go of what you cannot control. there are people you have to learn to let go of and situation's that are sometimes unbearable. When it seems like everything is going against you, that is when you have to trust that God is behind you. it's been hard learning to deal with these situation's but it has made me into and incredibly strong person because of it.

There is a lot that I would like to do, and make new resolutions for the new year. such as getting fit, eating right, being more productive, getting a better job. These are all great, but if God was able to get me through the past year, then there is no denial that He has amazing things in store for my future. Focusing more on God and have patience that things will be okay and learning to forgive those who have hurt you in the past.

I'm directing my thoughts to more positive outlooks and to have a good year. it does not mean that i won't be faced with trials. but I know that God will be with me through them. Here's to a new year, new start and new me!

True Love Dates

I  attended a singles seminar with Debra Fileta, who is a relationships blogger and counselor. She talked through some hard truths, but also what it means to be a healthy person to have healthy relationships. Here are a few things she said: •Healthy people equal healthy relationships  •Set boundaries as a single person way before marriage •Be two whole people who don’t need each other, but rather choose to be with each other  •Choose someone who will get better with time  •Give and take, learn to communicate your feelings, interdependence  •Be spiritually equal, anything of value is worth protecting  Relationships are hard. We talk it up, to be something so much more then it is. That includes families, kids, relationships and marriage. Your feelings are vital and need to be able to talk about it. Learning to have a middle ground with personality differences. And really knowing who you are. Be in a healthy place as a single person. This is something ...

Beautiful Surrender

Beautiful surrender, that's right where I want to be.  When we have seasons of extreme highs and lows, its easy to have doubts and often wonder how God will work it all out. I'm in a waiting season right now. God has me right where I am for a reason. I'm stressed out all the time wondering what the future holds for a job. I've had distractions and wondering if it will ever workout with anyone. It's asking God for patience, obedience, discernment and contentment. God has so much in store for me that I don't know about.  God sees the unseen. He see's the entire picture. He is the master match maker, He sees the skills I will need for the next step. Its a season of preparation. It's the waiting in the process that is difficult. God is also preparing his heart too. And sometimes you are two steps ahead. And you need to pray that God is preparing them for you. Because it involves two people. But you need to focus on yourself and God. Its all the doubts...

Give thanks to Him, praise His name!

Hello Friends!! So I wanted to share some heart to heart thought's with you. Over the past year or two, I have overcome some very hard life lessons, many of which are crucial to our well being. I learned a lot about the 'little stuff' that makes a big difference. I have learned more about myself and my character and how I handle situations, how I relate to people, and what I strive to be. When sometimes you need to learn to let go, because a lot is out of your control. but you can only do the best that you can. Life is messy, relationships are messy, everything is messy. but God takes that brokenness and can make it something beautiful. I felt convicted about my social media use over the summer. and you know what, I'm glad that I was. I didn't realize how consumed I was by it, even for the wrong reasons. It has its uses, but we need to be so careful in how we use it. Who we are online is not who we are in real life. we have personalities, a way we express ours...
