Hey everyone,
Just a quick post for today. I was thinking yesterday that we have so much to learn from children. We so often get wrapped up in our hectic and busy lives and forget about the simplicity of what our lives were like 5 years ago. I'm not asking for you to try and turn back time here, because we all know that's not possible. But what I'm saying, is that instead of looking at everything in crazy, complex ways we can look at things with an easier, simpler approach. I think if we step back and think things through with a clear mind, we can make conclusions and feel more at peace with those decisions.
Happy Monday!

Hypocrites.
Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well! It was a little chilly outside today where I am, but it's warming up and I'm pretty happy about that.
The idea for this blog post came to me just as I put in a pair of earrings. A little weird, I know, but hey! it works.
So, do any of own a cross necklace? A purity ring? I don't own either of them, but I do have cross earrings, which are the the earrings that I just put on. I was thinking about how we wear things like this, that symbolize our love for God and our promises to Him, but so often we forget about them and we're rude to people, gossip and just be flat out mean. Now, what do you think the message is that we're sending out to people that aren't christians? It's okay to say we love God and we value Jesus' teachings, but we talk trash about people and completely contradict ourselves? That's being what I call hypocritical.
So I ask you guys to think about the message you're sending out to people when you wear God on your face but don't wear God in your heart. When you say you love Him but go against everything Jesus stands for. It's kind of powerful, isn't it? And the scary part is, is that we do it alot.
Happy Thursday!

Quote.
Hey everyone.
I'm doing a short post today. I found this quote and I really love it.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.
Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think it's really true and that it paints a beautiful picture in my mind. How do you guys look at life? Do you hate it some days? Love it other days? I'm hot and cold about my life sometimes, but I never hate it. Our lives are treasures and they're extremely precious. As human beings it's normal to have doubts about things and not like everything that's put on our plate, but we have to deal with it, right? It's the things we don't like that make us stronger and into the people we are today.
Talk to God about it. We're never really A+ students when it comes to God, right? We mess up and make mistakes, but God knows that. And He's there to talk to you about it. Never be discouraged from having a bad day or having things go wrong. It's normal and it's bound to happen. But I challenge you guys to be aware of when you think negative thoughts that can be toxic to your relationship with God and the people around you. When we become conscious of the thoughts and the remarks we make, we generally become more aware of the things that come out of our mouth, right? Try it.
Happy Wednesday! :)
