Here’s to new beginnings!

Did I ever mention I really enjoy writing and poetry? Well, inspiration has struck. ☺️👏🏻Today is my last day as a seminary teacher and as Sister Wanner. It’s been an unforgettable experience. ♥️🙏🏻

The time has come, the clock is near,
To close the chapter on this last year.

I’ve learned so much, and lived through life.
It’s been up and down, with joy and strife.

The people I’ve met, will always be in my heart.
Even though the time has come for us to part.

God has been there and is my strength 
He has constantly been there through this great length.

The love I have in my heart is so much,
Thank goodness we can all keep in touch.

I will forever treasure my students and my class.
I’m just hoping they all get good grades and pass.

This year has been eventful with lots of surprises.
Earthquakes, a pandemic, and did I mention a virus?

Poetry and writing is something I’ve always loved.
Especially when the feeling of peace descends over me from above. (Or like a dove) 🕊 

I know God loves me and is always aware.
It’s been so hard as of late, but I can’t deny that He’s been there.

I haven’t failed because I didn’t get hired, 
My value doesn’t change, but I do feel inspired.

Onward and upward I say to my soul,
Onto the next new adventure and goal.

Goodbyes are hard, but joy will come, 
Don’t ever look back and feel unworthy or dumb.

You’re where you are for a specific purpose and reason, 
Maybe right now, it’s just not your season.

Always trust God, His timing, and His Son,
Until all your work is finished and done. ♥️

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
