Dealing with emotionally struggles

People are gonna lie, there gonna cheat, they are gonna hurt you. But that's just worldly trouble! Just laugh with Jesus. 

Why am I telling you this? Cause I'm learning to laugh with Jesus about worldly troubles too. I've been lied to for a long time now by many people about big things, and not only is it the lying, but the fact that i was so close to both of them that they would do such a thing. They kind of betrayed me and my trust. But, I had to make the decision to forgive them, even when I didn't feel like it. That way, God can help heal me emotionally. 

So, it's gonna happen. But don't worry when it does, because God knows what you need, and He will bless you with a wonderful person. Just trust Him.

Breathe!!

Breathe and take a moment to remember what's really important.
-Phil Parker

   I like this quote because I can relate to it. As you know, I was depressed at one point in my life. I had to stop so many times and just breathe and remember the importance of life, and why this was happening to me. Taking a breather to remember the finer things in life that I can get to if I push past this, helped me so very much.

   Once I came out of depression, I was happy, but not as joyful. God is still bringing that joy back to my life! Still is! Just the other day I said to my youth pastor, "I'm not used to being this happy!" And as we talked I discovered that you can get addicted to ANYTHING. Sadness even. So don't forget to breathe, and push on. Lets get addicted to happiness:). 

Impo!

Impo!

What's impo( important) you ask?!
Reading the bible! WAITTT-I've already done a blog on the bible. But this, this will be a tad bit different!

So last week, I decided to just workout! So I did! And after 3 miles I walked around and all a sudden-whip lash! I got really dizzy, it's hard to see straight, and hard to see anything in general! I was really light headed and felt like I did when my ankle got busted open, but I wasn't afraid this time. I started thinking,"maybe I just need to go pee." So I wobbled my way over to the bathroom. Well that didn't help. Then I thought,"what could help this??"then I started praying in tongues. And when I stopped, this jumped into my mind, "My word is life,health and medicine to all flesh."  BINGO! So I recited the verse that's plastered on my brain-psalm 1:3:" I am a tree planted firmly by flowing streams if water which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither, whatever I do prospers."
And before you know it, I'm healed from that lightheaded ness and such:). 
Wow. How awesome. See the Holy Spirit would not have been able to bring that verse to my rememberance if I had not read it!

Tough situations

So about a week ago I was dancing around this kiddy pool trying to encourage my dog to jump in, I slipped and fell and when I did my ankle hit some metal. Stitches? Yep.

When this happened I praised Jesus. I tried to find out God's intentions in allowing this to happen. There was some good that came out of it. I didn't have to clean the boat. That's not a big deal though-u might think. But God might have been saving me from something worse happening...that could have happened in the midst of cleaning the boat. Well then why did he let that other thing happen you say? Maybe I needed to learn something.

See even in these "tough" situations that we have, there is always a reason. God designed you with purpose - not so he can just play around with you and have fun. 

Depression

I actually went thought depression not to long ago. It's a sad thing, filled with no life,a heavy heart, etc. but you can conquer it!! I personally, pulled through depression by listening to a few songs(ill list them at the bottom of this blog). I listened to them every. Single. Day.

The joy of The Lord is our strength. When I praised Him, He was happy:). Therefore, I got the strength to not give up. You can get this strength too! You have grit! You can get through anything!!!! I encourage you to never give up.

Self Esteem-brains and looks!!!

   Brains. As a blonde, people believe I'm, well, simply put, plain dumb. But I believe I'm not because one, blondes being stupid is just one big stereotype. And two, God created me! And God says that I have His mind. And that I can do anything through Him. Yes, you can work that math problem, write that essay paper, accomplish those life goals-all through Christ. After all, we do have the mind of Christ. You are smart! God created you didn't He?  

   And ladies with non-blonde hair. Being non-pretty is just..not correct! You are BEAUTIFUL. God created you in His divine image. I realize, that as blondes are stereotyped as "dumb and beautiful", other hair colors hear this stereotype, and think, "well then I must be smart and ugly". WRONG. You are BEAUTIFUL. 

   God created every human being in His divine image. Wether your blonde, Burnett, grey, or black headed lady--it doesn't matter!!! You are both BEAUTIFUL and SMART. 

    Don't believe me? Look it up!:)

Quotes

Just for the brain to think upon, here are some Cool quotes that I love!

-FOOTPRINTS-
One night, a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest moments in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned The LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set if footprints.i don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied, " my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of foot prints, it was then that I carried you."

"I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There's nothing you could ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die,and after your death I will protect you. I am stronger than depression. And I am braver than loneliness.and nothing will ever exhaust me.
-God"
