New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 

I want to start by saying thank you all for supporting me and this blog, I could not get far without y'all. Today, in the spirit of new year, I am going to discuss new years resolutions. I have two specific ones this year!

My first is my most important resolution. I want to get stronger in my Faith and in my walk with God. As a Christian I am well aware, and not afraid to admit, that I fail many times in my walk with God. I allow life to "take over" and put other things ahead of what should be first. I'm not afraid to admit that and I know that God loves me anyways. But I don't want to be lukewarm Christian. I want to be someone that when people look at me they see God in me. I want to make people want to learn about God because they see the amazing things He is doing and has done in my life. So how do I plan on doing that? First, I plan on going to church every Sunday. It's so easy to choose to sleep in than to get up and get ready and go to church. Second, Bible study every night! I found some AMAZING bible study plans on pinterest, just look up Bible Scripture Plan; it pulls up what verses to read each day based off specific months and/or specific topics.

M second resolution is one that is considered the "typical" resolution. I want to get in shape and lose weight. I get married this month on December 15th. I need to look good and fit into a dress (yes that's cliche but it's true). So I plan on going on a diet,Trim Healthy Mama, and also start getting more active. I plan on stretching every night and also doing things like crutches, squats, and even doing yoga.

I have a few obstacles that I know I need to overcome in order to be able to conquer these goals. Most and foremost is the devil. The devil is going to do everything he can to put obstacles in my way so I'm not able to strengthen my walk with God. I need to not let him win. Another obstacle is motivation. I have literally NO motivation when it comes to getting active and eating right. I need to find motivation somewhere. I need to teach myself not to settle for the easy route, it is so easy to give up and go get oreo ice-cream (yes I'm wanting it sooo bad right now), I need to remind myself that in the end doing these things will be so worth it!!

So I want to hear from y'all!! What are y'alls New Years Resolutions?? 

12 new chapters - 365 chances - Same dream - Fresh Start - The best is yet to come!!

Embracing Imperfection ~ Scars

There are many different posts I can make about "Embracing Imperfection" that's why I added a part to the title regarding this specific post Scars . We all can recognize what an external scar on the skin is; we've all fallen a few times and gotten a scrape that turns into a scar, in some cases the scar fades over time and in other cases they don't. But no-one really takes into account our internal scarring...why is that? Now I don't mean literally inside our body like scar tissue from a surgery, I mean our emotional scarring. The scarring that is so evidently present to us but no-one else sees it. If you take a look at the definition of a scar (just a scar in general) it, of course goes over other details but it also says that it is the process of wound repair and that it is a natural occurrence in the healing process . Let me repeat this...it is the process of wound repair and a natural occurrence in the healing process. What is the difference in that defi...

How do I still believe in God?

A lot of people ask me how I can still believe in God when all of that happened to me when I was younger. So how do I? I’ll explain.  First, People all the time come back with “If God really existed then why would things like that happen in the first place?” Well the answer is this: The devil. We must first remember that Christ also suffered when He was on this earth. HE was beaten, persecuted, and crucified by evil people in this world. By one of his closest people, his own disciple, he was betrayed. That is the first thing that people must remember. The devil has his hold on evil people.  In John 16:33 Jesus tells us that we are going to have suffering, no matter what form it comes in: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” God gave us the opportunity to live in the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve took it unto their own decision, by influence of...

Don't Give Them the Satisfaction

We all know what rejection feels like...no I don't mean getting turned from a guy or girl, I mean the rejection of being told you can't or maybe you won't be good at it, or anything else related those. So what I am about to tell you is super important....are you ready?? Don't give them the satisfaction! It's hard to keep going when you are told you can't do something or that you won't be good at something, but don't give the person the satisfaction of you quitting no matter what. Now, I'm not saying that every person who tells you that you won't be able to do something is meaning it in a cruel or malicious intent in mind, the person could just have your best interest in mind but still don't let them tell you what you have the ability to do. It's tough, trust me I know. When someone tells me I won't be good at something, will have a hard time with something, or that I just don't have the skills it hurts and it's hard to not gi...
