The Choice Is Yours

-
Choices! Choices are everywhere. Life is full of choices. We make lots of choices every day. We make choices about what clothes we wear, food we eat, people we hang out with, words we say. In school and college, we can choose what classes to take and majors we will pursue. We can choose to pursue a certain career or enter into the military. Our choices can be right or wrong, positive or negative. Of all the choices we make, the most important choice we can ever make is to have a relationship with Jesus. God chose to send His only son Jesus to die and be raised to life for us, so we could be saved. God loves us that much! You're one prayer away if you haven't made that choice. To ask Jesus to come into your heart and life, you just need to know ABC. A stands for admitting that you have sinned and done wrong. B stands for believing Jesus died on the cross for your sins and wants to give you a new life. C stands for confessing the sins that you have done. Having Jesus in our lives will help us make right choices. Ephesians 5:15-16 says, "Be careful then how you live, not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil." So, let's make good choices every day. Let's choose to hold our head up high. Let's choose to give thanks to God no matter what is going on. Let's choose to pray and read God's Word. Let's choose to live out the Word of God. Let's choose words that help and not hurt others. Let's choose to appreciate and love everybody. Let's choose to be respectful, kind and forgiving even when we are not shown them back.  Let's find opportunities to help others throughout our day. In all we do, let's make choices that please God. Wherever we go, school, work, college, a restaurant, family reunion, remember the choice is yours!

The Gift of Time

-
 Twenty four hours. That's how much time we get in one day. We all get the same amount of time. Sometimes (perhaps a lot of time!), it doesn't feel like we have that much time in a day. It seems like we blink and we wonder where the time went. I have learned over time to appreciate and cherish the time I have 😊. Each new day I live to see is a new 24 hours to live and make the best of it. I have learned not to take the time I have for granted. I've learned not to take people or any opportunity I'm given for granted. I've learned the importance of making time for God, myself and others. When I start my day with God in the Word and prayer, I navigate my day and time in it much better than when I don't 🙏. Then, throughout my day, I have to make sure I'm talking to God, so he can lead me in the right way. I'm always looking at my days and constantly working on how to make the best use of my time. Distractions do happen, but then I have to get back on track...

You're Not Alone

 That statement alone is powerful! At some point in our lives, we may have felt like we were all by ourselves and no one else could relate to what we were going through. We may have even felt like no one else cared, and we couldn't share with anyone what we were going through. If you have felt any of the above, at any given point of time, you are not alone! I have felt all of these before. Today, I want to reassure you that you are not alone 💖. I know it may look and feel that way, but you're not. Everyone's life story is different. However, I guarantee if you were to take a closer look at our stories, you would find some common themes. At some point, we all have or will experience rejection, failure, loss of something or someone, frustration, disappointment, hurt, feeling different, and not knowing what to do in making a tough decision. While the situations may come in different forms, many of the same themes are interwoven throughout them. Our story is important and shou...

Live Your Best Life

-
 I am so grateful for the gift of life! If we can't find nothing else to be thankful for, we can be thankful for the life God has given us 😊. I have learned not to take my life for granted, nor the people God has placed in my life for granted. We only get one life to live, and we should live it well. We don't know when it will be a last chance to do something or say something to someone. We don't know when it will be the last time we see someone, whether that be at work, store, school, church, community, family or friends. We don't know when a day will be our last day. That's why it's so important to live out today. I'm reminded of Matthew 6:34 in the Bible that says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I want to live my life well each day. I don't want to just go through motions and routines, but I want to make sure I'm living my best life 😊💖. When we loo...
