Natural Beauty

-
Fresh air is good for all of us 😊! Fresh air is something we should get every day if possible. When you step outside next time, take time to notice all the nature around you. Look up at the clouds in the sky. Look at the different animals that are crawling  and flying by. Listen to the noises of the animals. I love to sit outside and walk outside a lot 💖. Sometimes when I'm sitting outside, I hear these really loud birds (maybe you have heard them too!). I remember I used to get annoyed by the noise. But, then, more recently, I started looking at the noise in a different way. I have started to see it as the birds doing what God has created them to do. That's how they're communicating. Look at the flowers and plants that are blooming. They're all beautiful in their own way 😊. All that God created is beautiful! You know who else God created? You and I! We are made by God! In Psalms 139:13, it talks about how we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Anything God made is beautiful! Four years ago, I started on a particular hair journey and I'm continuing on that still. That journey is wearing my natural hair. Wearing my natural curls has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me 💖!! For so long, I would get my hair pressed out. However once I started embracing my natural hair and wearing natural hairstyles (curls and twists) during the pandemic in 2020, I found that there's beauty in the natural hair. Now, there's nothing wrong with wearing your hair pressed out if you choose to do so 😊. For me though, natural hair is the journey I want to continue. I feel so much freedom in wearing my hair that way. I felt like it gave me more confidence. I'm learning to embrace the uniqueness and beauty of it 💖. Every creation is also unique. When you really start diving deep and think about all the different species of plants and animals, they all are unique. I don't know every detail about all creation, but what I do know is fascinating and points to our amazing Creator God. Let's take time to appreciate nature and its beauty every day 💛! Every day, we can see God's beauty. Not only is nature beautiful, but so are we! May nature remind us that we are unique. May nature remind us to bloom right where we are. May nature remind us to cherish the quiet moments of stillness. May nature remind us to give praise to our Creator God (Psalms 150:6). May we always be reminded to embrace our natural beauty. Bloom on! Shine on!

Love and blessings to all 💖!!

    This is very beautiful from a beautiful woman a beautiful heart and a beautiful mind. Yes, God has given us gifts that are free in this life. If we take the time out to look around, you can see the beauty and everything and the beauty in self will come out and be free. Just go touch the grass. Let the rain touch your face, breathe it in live and be free with his grace 🥰

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...
