Make the Faith Move

By
October 6, 2018

 

Very recently an opportunity came about in my life. Something I’ve been waiting for but not quite ready for. Something that I know I should have been preparing for, but I’ve just been procrastinating. Quite frankly I think its cause it’s scary, its unknown and its really hard work! I decided to sit with God and pray about whether it was the right time to make this move or not. As I was spending time with him I believe the Holy Spirit told me “you have to live this faith thing out Larissa! How can you minister to others, especially encouraging the youth to not fear if you aren’t living it out yourself every day and taking chances yourself?” I had to be reminded once again that it is not all about me! I have to be brave and let my life be an example of how God can use an ordinary person for his glory when he has called them to do something. I had to walk by faith!Continue reading

How I Get Fall Ready and Enjoy the Season

By
October 2, 2018

Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool weather, the colors, scents and fashion. I like to get the season started on a fresh note. I will open up all the windows to air out the house and allow the brisk breeze to flow through. Then it’s time to clean up the entire house and put away all summer related decor until next season. Once all cleaned and decluttered, I get fall ready by bringing out my fall decor and decorating. Lighting new fall scented candles always makes this process even more fun. I will usually pick out a few pumpkins in white and orange for the outside front steps. Some years I am a little extra and buy mums and hay stacks for the outside as well.Continue reading

Use the Darkness to Turn up the Light

By
September 19, 2018

Everyone who knows me knows that I have any extremely active brain and that I can rarely sleep well because I am always thinking! My mom always tells me to take out my brain, put it away in the drawer and then go to sleep haha. I often will have a pen and notebook at my bedside to write down any thoughts or ideas that come to mind in the middle of the night. This usually ensures I don’t forget the thought/idea and I can address it the next day. If I don’t do this then my brain will just keep repeating the thought or idea constantly in an attempt not to forget it, which leaves me with a not so restful sleep.

This particular night I was attempting to sleep haha, but I just kept repeating in my mind “use the darkness to turn up the light.” I was asking God what does that even mean? Continue reading

Crushing

By
September 19, 2018

 

You know how when you are crushing on someone really hard you send them the note marked “do you like me? Yes, No, Maybe”. You will do everything and anything to spend time with them. You lose sleep, sneak around, stay up late on the phone all night with them (even though you need to be up in 3 hours and take an exam). Yeah, you do dumb stuff just to spend that time with them. You’ll skip eating lunch on your break, skip a class, call out of work, tell a lie about where and who you are going to be with just to sneak extra time with them. You even run and go shave your legs really quick just to have the appearance of being perfect and flawless (mmhhmm you know its February and that hair was an extra layer of warmth). Now all of a sudden you have the extra time to pull out the razor? But you don’t make time for God!Continue reading
