11 days

11 days ago my life was stress free. I had no cares, no worries. 11 days. in 11 days everything changed. school started, work picked up, church continued, homework increased, my social life took off, college applications started. in 11 days. 

prior to said 11 days it was summer. I was carefree enjoying the freedoms of lacking responisbilities. I was living my life to the fullest, working during the day, going out at night. or at least I thought I was. but throughout these 11 days I have had a glimpse at the real world. a world which I will be entering in the fall of 2016. a world of adulthood. and honestly I have no clue what to do. 

im about as lost as a fish in the desert when it comes to what to do in the adult world. we as a generation were raised without a clue as to how to handle the real world. we were handed technology that was supposed to do everything for us and in turn has handicapped us to where now we lack the ability to do things without it. this is putting a cap on our ability to succeed as adults as well has hendering our ability to handle our lives now. don't get me wrong, I love technology and the advancements society has made, but I strongly believe these past 11 days wouldn't have been culture shock for me if I wasn't so dependent on technology. 

these past 11 days have showed me wmu flaws and shortcomings and wha I need to work on to succeed. the past 11 days have also showed me what rock bottom looks like and mental break downs and what my true fears are. these past 11 days have shown me how hard I have to work to make something of myself and to succeed in life. these past 11 days have transformed me. 

these past 11 days have turned me back to my Heavenly Father and for that I  grateful. they have shown me that I can't do this alone and that to truly find success and happiness I must surrender to Him and His will. it's shown me my future isn't in my hands, but in His. these 11 days have shown me that while im not ready for the "real world" He is. and that's all that matters. 

if you're a follower and reading this, then this is your call to action. surrender to Him and His plans for you and everything will fall into place. God can take away your weaknesses and turn them into strengths, He can take your stress and turn it into joy, He can take your worries and turn them into realities. 

if you're not a follower, consider what you've read. consider what you've heard. consider the joy of knowing that everything will work out according to Him and His will. consider being able to face the "real world" without fear. 

in 11 days my life has changed. who knows what to expect?

word vomit

honestly, i have been avoiding this blog for a while. when i read through my past posts they are well thought out and intelligent and they have a purpose. but lately i  have not been feeling like any of those things. so i have avoided this site like the plague with hopes that i  would soon start to feel like the person that wrote all of those posts. but im realizing maybe its okay that i don't feel like that person. maybe its okay i  don't feel put together and perfect.  so in all honesty to whoever is reading, this is word vomit. this is me writing because putting words on paper makes me feel purposeful and proud. because it makes me feel accomplished when i can scroll through and see all that i have done. so no, this has no purpose, no thesis, no underlying message. just grammar imperfections and incomplete thoughts. and for now, that is enough for me. i  used to have my entire life planned. i  knew what i  wanted to be doing, i  knew when i...

WITH vs IN

As I have grown up I have often noticed that people, including myself, tend to be different people for different situations. And while sometimes this makes sense, for example you can't quote The Office in a business meeting like you would if you're with friends, other times it doesn't. Sometimes it does more harm than good. As a Christian I experience this often. People who think they need to be one thing in order to be good enough for God.  PLOT TWIST: God loves the weak and the broken. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says " But he said to me,  “My grace  is sufficient for you, for my power  is made perfect in weakness. ”  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.   That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight  in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions,  in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."  In our weakness God is glorified and made stronger. God purposely ...

2/14 Haters? This is for you.

Valentine’s Day is honestly the worst. It is expensive, excessive, and obnoxious. Maybe I’m just incredibly cynical and maybe one day when I am with the person of my dreams I will have a completely different opinion, but as of now I am not a fan. Only showing love on one day seems strange, it’s odd that people wait until February 14th to show their significant other just how grand they are. The bears and chocolate and flowers, all pretty over the top am I right? And all for one day!! I feel like the reason I am such a critic is because I know what true love is. I know what it is like to be loved grandly everyday. I know that I have a savior who literally died for me, if that isn’t love BOYYYY I don’t know what is. He set the standard pretty high off the bat, Jesus died to show his love for us and to forgive us of our sins (so don’t just accept chocolate ladies! — please note I am joking).  He knew all of my flaws and all of my bad decisions and still chose to love me, forgive ...
