Gratitude is the best medicine 🙏🏻

 “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” - Moulin Rouge 

I am so freaking grateful for Cason and for the gospel of Jesus Christ! Life has been quite challenging these last few weeks and I am so grateful that I get to go throughout life with Cason by my side and Heavenly Father guiding and directing us. 

He really is there for you and wants to help and bless you. 🥰 It got me thinking that sometimes that help from our Father in Heaven comes in the form of a learning experience/trial. As hard and not fun as those can be at times, I know we can do the hard things! Don’t give up, have faith that His plan is better for you, and keep going! 

Here are a couple things I’ve been appreciating lately. 💛 

- How GOOD God is 

- Life is hard, but worth it 

- God’s plan for you is PERFECT 

- When trials come, Trust God- He sees the whole picture 

- Laughter really is the best medicine 

- Take time to meditate and pray 

- Look for opportunities to serve others. When you serve others, you seem to forget your own problems and that gives you the mental capacity to help someone else in need 💛

- God knows what we need when we need it 

I’m so grateful for marriage and for being able

to have met Cason! He has been such a blessing in my life and I’m so so grateful for him ♥️ I love him so much! Being able to go through trials and life together with each other is still challenging, but having someone right there is something that I prayed for for so long, and God answered that in His own time. I’m forever grateful for that 💛☀️🙏🏻

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 thi...

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 t...

God is constant 🙏🏻🥰

  New post, you don’t wanna miss! 👇🏻♥️🙏🏻🥰 It’s been a while since a new post has come to my mind, but the other nights as I was watching one of my favorite movies, there’s a part where this basketball player gets injured, goes through rehab with a physical therapist who pushes him to be better, believes in him, and is there for him. He starts getting better and is able to play in the playoff game. He starts playing but he’s just missing shots and letting players pass him left and right. He’s discouraged and upset at himself, so he takes a break and as he sits on the bench feeling defeated. Then his amazing physical therapist comes over and says to him, “you are playing like this knee is going to fail you, but it won’t.” She says “anything you need to do, anything you want to do, you CAN do. You won’t fail.” Immediately the thought “God won’t fail you Lyssa”. Popped into my head and brought tears to me eyes 🥲❤️ There’s been so many good things that I’m so grateful for. I have ...
