One step at a time

enjoy people.

Time has always gotten me into trouble. Taking to much of it, losing track of it, it's just a hassle. I've been realizing that I don't exactly have much time here. Not that I'm dying or anything, but just until college. I'm trying to show the people that I care about more in this life just how much I love them. Now, this does not mean that I'm going to go through all of my friends and dedicate a post to them. Rather, this is for all of you. As well as every other part of me.

Last night, I was with one of my best friends. She made me do something that I had never done before. She made me paint! I'll try to post up a picture of what I did. Her painting was incredible. Who knew hat taking the time to just hang out with your best friend and paint could be so cool. I like just hanging out, taking time, and enjoying people. We didn't even realize that three hours had gone by. Crazy, right? She explained it to me. She said, "When you're painting you're using the right side of your brain. Time is on your left hemisphere." Nifty.

God's timeless right? Pssht, that guy's got it easy. ;)

remember (this ones kinda long)

I need to start updating this more. So, I've noticed that my head is almost always scattered brained.

From boys, yes I said it, to college, I've got a millllllion things on my mind. College really scares me. It's one of my insecurities. Yes, I do have those. Although, I've made a new discovery! I'm just simply worrying too much. Chances are, you are too! So stop it, okay? I know, now I'm sounding ridiculous. It's not that easy, right?

Let me guess, you don't think you have something that God can take care of. The Bible tells you to not worry, but God just doesn't understand. Sure, it's easy to cast something small on to Him, but what you're going through is legit! It's not some test that you've been worrying about, it's more like a dump truck full of stuff that's always on your mind.

Wellllllll, you're wrong!

Harsh, I know. Try casting your cares unto God and see what happens. It really did work for me. I promise I'm not trying to sell you something. It's more like me filling you in, letting you know what's going on. Try this whole "not worrying" thing with me. God's word backs it upp! So here's your guarantee:

1 Peter 5:6-7

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

short

This one is going to be short, simple and to the point.

I like being confused. Actually, I love it.

Keep Breathing

Okay, so today was one of THOSE days. I'm usually not a cranky person, but today I was. I cannot believe how much of a brat I was. I'm sorry. I love to take my emotions out on other people. Sorry about that too. Anyways, this verse helped me. It reminded me to keep breathing. The world isn't ending just yet. Proverbs 16:32, " He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city."

slow down

This year is going by like crazy. I cannot believe that I graduate in three months. My world is absolutely spinning, but I kind of like it. I do need to slow down. I need to breathe in and breathe out. I lose time by wasting it. It's time to slow down a bit. Relax. Let's see where else God can take me in my little time left in the Poconos.

squint and pray

So thus far nothing has been so incredible that I've needed to blog about except for what I've recently discovered. My life is absolutely insane right now. I have a million things going on from boyfriends, college, keeping up with my work - it's ridiculous. All of this combined with the stress of being a teenager makes everything seem so blurry. It's hard to see. Honestly, sometimes I forget to bow down before my Heavenly Father and ask Him what He wants. I forget that His will is the "big picture." All I can say is, when everything is blurry, don't forget to squint. Then you'll see the bigger picture.
