Christmas isn’t about all the presents, but His presence ♥️



I didn’t really put as much thought into what having Jesus Christ’s presence in my life, truly meant, until I got older. Being able to study, ponder, learn, and teach more about the life of my Savior Jesus Christ, from birth to resurrection has changed my perspective and my heart.

Christ was born for me. He atoned for my sins. He died for me. He lives again for me. All of what Christ did was because of the LOVE that He has for each one of us. He has become more real to me than ever before. Not only have my prayers become more heartfelt, but I have really tried to be more Christlike. I definitely haven’t perfected this, and might not ever in this life, but I am trying.

Christmas isn’t about all the gifts and the money that you spend on someone. It’s about the service you give, the love you show to your family, friends, and those around you. It’s also remembering CHRIST even more in your life and what He has done for you.

It’s by the way He taught, loved, acted, how He treated all He met, and the LOVE He has for you and me. My Savior Jesus Christ has become my best friend. His atonement covers EVERYTHING I will go through. The loneliness, the sadness, the anger, the doubts, the sins I commit, and comfort and joy that come with knowing that He is aware and loves me. Just like my Father in Heaven.

God has a plan for each one of us! It’s PERFECT. Keep the faith, don’t give up, and trust Him. I challenge you as the new year approaches to think of Christ MORE and what He has done for you. I promise it will bless your life beyond measure. Because friends, He is ALWAYS thinking about YOU.

I LOVE my family, my Savior and my Heavenly Father with all my heart and I’m so grateful for this CHRISTmas season. 🙏🏻🥰 Christ is the gift and His love and all that He is, is the gift that never stops giving. ♥️🎄😭 #godisgood #Luke2 #tooblessedtobestressed

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
