Don’t be discouraged, God is with you.




Discouragement in life comes by often. When life doesn’t go the way we want it to go or the way we think it ought to go. The adversary does a fantastic job at telling us that we should be mad, sad, jealous, disappointed, and upset when things don’t go the way WE think they should.


When we can’t find a job or when dating isn’t working out, when we’re faced with health challenges, infertility, divorce, loss, etc. The trials of life are HARD. They’re suppose to be hard. But that doesn’t mean we need to go through them by ourselves. We have a loving Savior, Jesus Christ, who stands ready to help us. ♥️ 


“Fear not I am with thee, o be not dismayed, for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.” (Isaiah 41:10, How firm a foundation)


We are NEVER truly alone. We always have the love of a Heavenly Father. A Father who truly does know you and I. He knows our hopes, our dreams, our fears, our weaknesses, and our deepest desires! He does have a plan! 👊🏻


That knowledge brings me a lot of peace and hope. ☀️ Especially when I am feeling discouraged or down in the dumps. God has got me! He won’t let me down! And He won’t let you down, my friends! 


So no matter how dark your days may seem, or how much you wish you could catch a break from life, remember how much YOU ARE LOVED. Remember that things will work out, and that your worth isn’t contingent on whether or not you feel you  have everything or nothing going for you. 


You are amazing! God is aware of you! He does love you! And He will be with you every step of the way. ☀️🙏🏻♥️😭

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
