The blog

Here are just some recent thoughts and lessons I’ve learned/remembered recently:

The way people treat you should never be your metric for defining your worth.

You are so much smarter and more beautiful and capable than you think.

Listen to your gut.

If you don’t feel like yourself around someone, it is because they are not meant to be in your life. People who are for you will make you feel like the best version of you.

When someone loves you, you will know. When someone loves you, they will never choose someone else. When someone loves you, they will be faithful, true, and honest. Always.

Accept what people give you and know when to move on.

Waiting is always worth it. Good things come to those who wait.

You will always know deep down whether you need to distance yourself from something or someone.

Forgiveness can happen at a distance. Sometimes it can only be done this way.

Mercy is the only right response to those who have hurt you.

Life is so beautiful and wonderful and magnificent.

Getting your spark back becomes easier when you trust your gut, lean into the Father, and spend time with those who uplift you.

Love is honest, love seeks to add to another’s life, love is partnership, love is good, love should never hurt, love is straightforward and clear, love is dedicated, love does not act out of fear.

Prayer is the best medicine.

Being alone is not a bad thing. Being alone and at peace is much better than being with someone and unhappy.

It is better to miss the good memories than to keep making bad ones.

Life is meant to be experienced, not controlled.

Whatever you must sacrifice to feel lighter is worth letting go of.

There is no such thing as “winning the breakup.” Both parties learn and grow. Both get to step closer to the Father’s pleasing and perfect will for their lives. Both get to heal. Both win.

It will never be hard or complicated with the right person.

It is more important to care about how your actions affected others rather than how it affected your reputation.

Your life is only as good as you believe it to be.

Write and read as often as possible. Laugh as much as you can. Walk and dance whenever you get a chance to. Love the mind, personality, and body you’ve been given.

Do your best to fall in love with life every day. Make every effort to be a good person. Never let the harshness of the world harden your compassionate, gentle, and loving heart.

Seek first the Kingdom at all costs.

Life is good.

That’s all for now 🙂

‘But you, Lord , are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord , and he answers me from his holy mountain. ‘
