We are our choices

November 15, 2017November 16, 2017 InnaLeave a comment

Everyday new day, we have hundreds of different choices to make. Though sometimes we may wish we have more. What time do you get out of bed? What am I going to eat for breakfast? Do I have time to eat breakfast? Should I pick up some coffee on my way to class? Should I even… Continue reading We are our choices

Haiti & sunrise, two of my favorite things💕

here’s to another year of laughing until it hurts, dealing with stupid people and keeping each other MODERATELY sane. Happy birthday best friend 🎉🎁🎈😘❤️

/ / S E A S O N S / / If there is ever a day you feel tired of saying good for them and you are wondering when things will be good for you, take heart with great hope, and consider all the things this season of growing will lead into. Like an ocean that awaits miles away, you may not be there yet, but you are surely on your way. So take your time while you are journeying, travel light, be safe. For there will come a time when you finally arrive on those shores and you will be so glad you didn’t settle. You will be so glad you did not give up. You will be so glad you didn’t sync yourself to someone’s else’s pace and chose instead to anchor yourself in the steady rhythm of grace. And after everything you went through, you arrived where you needed to be on time, and everything will be fine. Not perfect, but fine. For ever beautiful thing will happen in its time. - Morgan Harper Nichols

“It’s the people that irk you that God will use to grow you. Truth be told, you won’t learn how to love well if you only love lovable folks.” . You can’t go through life avoiding people who did you wrong. You can’t go through life avoiding people who you just can’t stand, though this may just be what gives us the quiet we want in our lives. . One thing we need to keep in mind and CONSTANTLY remind ourselves if we forget, is that God does everything for a reason. . There is a reason that people come into your life just like there’s a reason why people leave. . There’s a reason you go through certain situations, ones that will become your testimony. . There is a reason why you’re single right now and not in a relationship like ‘everyone’ else. . There is a reason that you work where you currently do. . There is a reason why you’re better at some things than others. . For everything in your life, there is a reason. Nothing was done by accident. As Christians, we need to learn to love like Christ and to love like Christ, means to love thee unlovable. . It’s easy to love those who love us, anyone can do that. But when it comes to loving those who we don’t like, whatever the reason may be, that’s where we need to look at the example Christ set. . Even when the people crucified Him on the cross, Jesus asked God to ‘forgive them for they know not what they do.’ Christ had love for even those who were putting the nails in His hands. If Christ could love those people even after all that they did to Him, don’t you think we could, at some level, show some love to those whom done us harm?

T H R O U G H T H E S T O R M // Storms make trees take deeper roots. We can’t grow in our faith if we’re not moving anywhere. We can’t grow in our faith if nothing around us is changing. We can’t grow in our faith if we don’t allow ourselves to change. . When we ask God to help us grow in our relationship with Him, in our faith in Him, what do we really expect? It won’t happen overnight. It may take weeks before we start to notice a change. But one thing for sure, is that you’re going to start feeling uncomfortable. Many situations will arise, it may feel like a huge storm coming in, your life may feel like a mess🌪, but that’s the only way we grow. . Through those storms, hold fast to God. Cling to Him as your lifeline and you’ll see how He worked that in your favor! 🙌🏻 . The song “Praise you in this Storm” by Casting Crowns comes to mind🎶 “And I'll praise you in this storm And I will lift my hands That you are who you are No matter where I am And every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise you in this storm”

|| P e r c e p t i o n . . “Don’t let what you see make you forget what I said” -God . In the Bible, we can clearly see the promises God makes to us when we choose to follow Him. He tells us that He will never leave us nor will He forsake us. In Deuteronomy 31:6 it says: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” . Just because your circumstances now may feel and look impossible, doesn’t mean that they are. We serve an all powerful God who has the power to do absolutely anything. . You’re outlook on life may constantly be changing but one thing you have to always keep in mind is that you serve a never changing God. . Your life may not be going according to plan, you may have lost some friends, you may be out of a job, or whatever the circumstances may be, remember that these changes in your life, don’t change the God you serve.

Hey you, thanks for stopping by!

Do you ever get the feeling that you don’t belong anywhere? Like no matter how hard you try to fit in, you still stick out like a sore thumb? Yeah, that’s me. But I’ve learned overtime that maybe I wasn’t met to blend it, maybe I was born to stand out. Here on my blog I talk about my faith, photography and just life in general. At first I was kinda “ify” about starting a blog, but then I realized that someone out there may need some encouragement in their life or someone to relate to; so they know that they’re not alone. Everyone had their own battles and their own story; Welcome to mine.
