We all Should Take Time to Reflect

Sometimes I wish there was an off switch for our brains, when we wanted that little voice in the back of our heads to just shut up!

I cannot even count on one hand the amount of times I have tossed and turned at night, while my mind ran on and on like a tape recorder, do this, don't forget that. It can get exhausting after a while.

I found myself going through that cycle one night, I had been stressing about my appearance, I had found myself doing that a lot those past few weeks.

I just need to fix my skin!

I cannot wait to lighten my hair!

I am not tan enough!

I will be more happy when I have the perfect body.

Amongst all the noise, I heard a voice, it was different from the other thoughts going through my head.

"These things are not important to God, his judgement should be the only one you worry about, dwell not on these things any longer."

It is okay to care about how one looks, but if that is the only thing that plagues a persons thoughts, then the Lord is not their first desire. We often can get caught up in the stresses of day to day life, and often forget to spend time reflecting with the most important person in our lives. His voice may be the softest, but it is the only one which will always speak truth.

What do you do to hear Gods voice in your life? I would love to hear what you have to say in the comments.

This Will Bring you True Satisfaction.

Fear, the force that constantly dictates our decisions. This power magnifies insecurity, and causes us to compare ourselves to others.

I allowed terror to run my life, for years I would hide myself, blending in until I no longer knew who I was, letting every insecurity carve its bloody handprint into my brain until I believed every word. We often wish for what we don't have, assuming that if we were prettier, thinner, more wealthy, or in a relationship, that then we would feel satisfied. Fear entangles our brain in a web of lies, saying that we are not enough, and if we can just achieve something else then we will be happy. This belief is deceitful, dangerous, and addicting. I constantly battle with the false notion that because of my visual impairment, I have to make up for the difference, that I am less then others because I cannot see as they do. I tell myself that I am only wor...

Women of God

Women of God What makes a woman powerful? Many have asked this question, and there have been a spectrum of answers. One might say her beauty, or determination. Another might respond that it is her confidence. These are all great attributes, however, they are all fleeting if the woman does not have this one single characteristic. This quality is not obtained through her looks, or the people she comes into contact with. It is something few women have, but something that everyone can feel, it shines like a light in the darkness. It can lift up these qualities, and make them eternal. This power is her identity, the sureness of herself, not through her achievements, but through a person who knows of her true value, a person that suffered every pain just for this single woman. This person is Christ. Christ gives us true confidence, love and virtue, because he sees us as we truly are. He removes all the doubts in our minds, the ...
