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 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
