Each Day A New
If you’re like me, you often get wound up in mistakes, worries, struggles, etc. — past, present, and even future. This often weighs me down and stresses me out more than I should. Everyday has its own struggles and things to worry about. It’s often hard not to get caught up in past mistakes and worry about being “good enough” or even being overbearing to people. However, with all of the struggle and worry and problems the world offers, we have hope and faith in Jesus Christ that he will guide us through. God has granted us with the gift of beginning each day as a new day. We lay our…

Good Enough // Revisited
One of my latest posts was titled Good Enough. To that, I received so many amazing and encouraging comments and thoughts — more than I could’ve expected. I first wanted to thank each of you who read that post and responded to it. It reassured to me that I have a life full of support from people that love me. As you know, I was timid/afraid to share with you my feelings. The response was uplifting, and for that, I am beyond thankful. I wanted to revisit that subject as it has been several months. Overall, I would say I am in a much better place than I was then.…

Good Enough
If I’m honest, I’m nervous to post this — I actually wrote it about a 3 weeks ago haven’t felt the courage until now. It’s kind of a touchy and serious subject for me… I want my blog to be encouraging and uplifting, and I want you to get to know me through what I write. I want to be an open book. I want to be honest with you. I want to inspire you because we are on this journey together. In order to get to know me, I think you should know something that I have struggled with lately that I am absolutely positive many of you struggle with…

Finding Mr. Right
I recently found a blog post through FaceBook titled “An open letter from Mr. Right.” It really opened my eyes, ears, and heart to who I often think my “Mr. Right” could be and who I should think he could be. It starts off basically telling me that he is “no fairytale hunk” (to quote it directly), which is, honestly, what I’ve pictured my whole life. I would dream of being swept off my feet and drowning in romantic moments. I dreamed of falling hopelessly in love with my Mr. Right/Prince Charming. I wanted my love story to be as perfect as it is in every Disney movie. No matter how much I dream and…

Christian Music
If you are thinking that you do not really want to read this post because it is about Christian music and you think Christian music can be boring, I encourage you to keep reading, and I hope I change your mind about this like mine was. Up until recently, I had never really liked listening to Christian music. Honestly, I always thought it was boring. I enjoy loud and upbeat music that makes me want to dance around or sing at the top of my lungs. I have never wanted my Christian life and love for Christ to be boring, and I desire to feel connected when I praise Him. The Christian music…

Real Beauty
One of the things I struggle with the most is self-confidence and seeing myself as truly beautiful. Today’s society puts out this image of what they think women (and even men) should look like in order to be considered attractive or beautiful. This picture makes overcoming this struggle even more difficult, which is definitely discouraging. Being interested in beauty and fashion, I often read beauty/fashion magazines. I love these magazines because they offer great tips and ideas regarding beauty, but I also deeply hate them. I hate them because I am basically studying unrealistic ideals that I could never reach. These magazines pressure me to try to make myself look…
