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

The Truth About Being a Christian

By
September 13, 2018

 

The truth about being a Christian is…I still mess up, I’m not perfect, I’m still a sinner. Getting saved wasn’t a magical potion to make my life rainbows and puppies. It didn’t all of a sudden take away every problem I had. I’m still going to go through things in life that are difficult and still have to fight battles. But there is a difference. The difference is I’m not going through it alone. God is guiding me through it and I can trust him leading me. He promises to never leave me alone, even if it feels like I am. I am still going to face temptation, but I just have to practice discipline and take Gods way out. God always provide a way out! No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability , but with the temptation he will provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Corinthians 10:13. The Godly may trip seven times, but they will get back up Proverbs 24:16Continue reading

What This Love Has Taught Me

By
September 10, 2018

It’s pretty annoying when people say things about a son being too close to his mother. “Don’t baby him… he needs to learn how to be a man… he’s going to be a momma’s boy etc.” A mother plays such a significant role in raising her son and molding him into a man. As a mother I am showing my son what true love is first and what it feels like. I am the protector of my son’s heart. My unconditional love will help build the foundation that will one day help him to love his future wife and children. He will be able to appreciate/respect his wife as the woman raising his children and as the manager of their home because of the example I set forth in love. God graced me to be his mother for a reason!
