Press into Him.

"Whatever our lot, we can say, "it is well." hardship melts into worship when we realize that God is always for us."

 This season of life has been one of the hardest. And I mean not in the same way it has been in the past. Whether it was working through family issues, heartaches with guys, life changes and other life stuff, this season has proved to feel like a pressure cooker. He is seriously working in me in a season of preparation. My job has been by far the hardest job I have ever had. I'm seeing the maturity in my responses when you feel let down, or when life doesn't go your way. It's pressing into Him and knowing He sees more then we know. 

 Since I've turned thirty all my hopes for this coming year had felt stalled. Nothing is going the way I thought. I had hoped to be out of what I am doing at work and working in the bakery.  Relationships don't workout the way you thought, and family issues are becoming real. God is making me wait a little longer. Even though my patience is driven slim, and I have to take each day at a time. I need to move forward. 

 It's to stop feeling like everything is my fault and knowing that people will be people. And to just focus on other things in the meantime. To keep praying that I will move to the bakery soon and there is an end in sight for scale. That God is working in each of our lives and will bring you to the right people at the right time. He sees the unseen.

 He is preparing me for that next job, He is preparing me for marriage, He is preparing me for big life steps. He is preparing me for His calling on my life. It's to keep pressing into Him when life is hard. He will work everything out the way it should be. Amen.

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...

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...
