Trust God & Do Good!


At times it may feel like you are the only one dealing with disappointments, heartaches, and frustrations. You might think to yourself, “If one more thing happens, I’m going to lose it!” Anyone else been there? 🥺 

This has been me lately. (And when I say lately it’s been for the last couple months...) One hard trial after another comes and rears it’s ugly face, all while throwing me for an unexpected loop. 😳

I should know by now that hard things are going to happen. They are one thing we can rely on in this life! We are going to have pain, we will suffer, we will have moments where we ugly cry to God, yell even, & moments where we feel we just cannot go on. We may even think “where the heck is my light at the end of the tunnel?!” Or even “where are my blessings?!”

This was me the other day. I had just found out that something I really wanted didn’t work out. 😞 It was a hard pill to swallow and I felt kinda numb most of the day. I found it easy to be angry & disappointed and I honestly didn’t feel like looking for the positive. I felt rejected & sad. 😔

But then a dear friend had posted some of their thoughts and testimony on social media & I really needed that! He sent me a video & the woman talked about how things aren’t going to work out sometimes, and that it’s easy to give up, but we can’t! We need to trust God & do good. ♥️ A no brainer right? 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

As simple as it is, it’s so easy to forget. Especially when life just sucks. We must trust God AND be doing good things! 

I’m not the greatest at trusting God & waiting patiently for Him to work in my life. But I’m trying. And one thing I do know is that the Lord loves effort. No matter where we are, if we are doing OUR best, God will bless us. It’s not the best according to the world or your neighbor, it’s the best that YOU & I can do. 👊🏻

Because at the end of the day, when my emotions are running high, my heart is hanging by a thread, and I don’t know what is going to happen next, (cause no one knows that) I KNOW I can turn to my loving Father in Heaven & be lifted up. Even if it’s just to get me through the day. And guess what, He can do the same for YOU! ♥️

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
