I stand all amazed 🤍✝️🙏🏻








 This Easter week has hit me so much stronger than any other Easter before. I feel such a greater appreciation for my Savior Jesus Christ and all that He endured for me. It really has become a Holy Week. 🤍 I have been humbled as I have put more of an effort into thinking more about my Savior and friend. He willingly suffered in the garden and hung on that cross for me without a second thought. I am overwhelmed with how much love He has for me, what that means for me, and how it brings peace to my soul. 


I think a lot of times in life we go up and we go down. We do what we’re supposed to do and then sometimes we don’t. We choose the right, then we become complacent, and then we repent and get back to doing what we know is right. It’s this cycle. We’re constantly changing, we’re constantly becoming different, and (hopefully) we are learning and becoming better. 


The whole point of this life is to improve-to strive to become a better person, day by day after each small and simple thing we do.  Sometimes we get off the path and stay there for a little bit and that’s ok. But the goal is to redirect and get back on. We live and we (hopefully) learn the things we need to learn one small step at a time. 


God wants you to be happy. He wants you to have joy. He wants you to choose the right. He wants to bless you-But He won’t force you to do that. He wants you to choose, to use the agency He has given us. God gently, slowly, and in the most lovingly way, helps us get back on the straight and narrow. He takes us to heights we couldn’t even imagine, destination’s we couldn’t have dreamed of, and to places we’ve never been. All because God & our Savior Jesus Christ LOVE us all so much. 


My dear friends, YOU are never too far gone for the love of God to reach you. There isn’t anything you can do that will make God & our Savior Jesus Christ  love you less. 💗 You are His! 


During this Easter Season let us all remember that Christ gave his life for you. We can repent and improve every day! The blood He spilled so freely, the pain He endured, the loneliness He felt, and the sorrow that beset Him while He was suffering was all for YOU. 


“I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me. 


Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me. I tremble to know that for ME He was crucified, that for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.


Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me… wonderful to me.”❤️


No matter what you are experiencing in your life right now Christ is there for you! As you’re enduring your own garden of gethsemane, whether it’s the loneliness that comes from being single, struggles with infertility, debilitating physical pain, temptations, financial stress, addictions, anger, resentment, dealing with the loss of a loved one, jealousy, etc. Jesus Christ suffered through all these things for you so that you don’t have to go through it alone. Don’t give up! Everything will be okay. Sunday will come. ❤️

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
