Days gone without a braid: 0
I have a serious issue. I ALWAYS braid my hair. Everyday, no matter what, it’s ends up in a braid at some time, somewhere. And I’m sick of it.
One week. That’s my goal.

Eggshells.
Be submissive to authorities.
This is one of the most difficult convictions I have ever had. It sounds so much easier than it actually is. If I want to go up, they tell me to go down. I see the sky as blue, they tell me that the sky is always gray. It seems as though they tell me to do exactly the opposite of what I want to do or nothing at all. And I have to submit because I am commanded to....

Young beautiful woman.
God made you, crafted you, designed you with a purpose. And he absolutely loves you. You are His daughter, and he adores you.
So do not ever let a man disrespect what God beautifully made.
You deserve so much better than someone who makes you feel uncomfortable with the things he asks you to do, or with the hurtful words he says or even the ugly hand he lays on you.
You deserve the man...

I wanna go back.
Back to third grade. Teach little chunky me things about life. Spell your name with one s and a y. Jesy. Practice the piano, you’ll regret it of you don’t. Live for Jesus. Every single beautiful day of your life. Don’t fall into infatuation with a gangly red head who will tell you that you are pretty. He will never respect you. And never forget to let your spirit dance.

Ladies, this one is for you.
For all of you are who are single, engaged, dating, or even considering dating. I have one question for you.
What does your ideal guy look like?
1) Is he Tall?
2) Is he Funny?
3) Is he Handsome?
4) Is he Motivated?
5) Is he Athletic?
All these searchable qualities are great. But when it really comes down to it, will any of these qualities withstand the length of time? Will any of...

Say yes to God. He knows best.
This is the new attitude I have. Say yes to God and let Him take control. I am excited as to where He will take me. That’s the thing about living for Christ, for the kingdom. Life is exciting, even in the dullest of days, the worst moods, the hardest of times. Because even in those dark days, we can find hope in the life that Jesus has given us. And we can have hope that our lives are in...
Nothing is more attractive than seeing a man...

I forgot how good yoga feels.
It is one in the morning, and I’m doing yoga. But I feel great. Why do I not do this more often? Oh yeah, because I’m lazy.
I need to cut lazy out of my life.

Dear Charles Minor,
You may be beautiful. You may share the same last name as I. But we will NEVER be friends.
Cause you hate Jim. That should be illegal.

I need prayer that God's will is able to be done...
So I got a call from a couple at my church who wants me to be a babysitter for them and it is honestly God’s great provision that has enable this. But I might not be able to if my mother says no. There is no reason to not take this job, because they are so willing to work with my school schedule, it’s wonderful.
I am just a bit frustrated that I might be held back from this. And I...

Things I keep thinking about:
- Shut doors. God didn’t shut this door to harm me. He is going to open an even more beautiful door to a better man who is even more amazing than this other guy. And I mean he seemed like THE guy. But no, God has someone even better! I can’t even imagine right now, but that’s the truth.
-Surrendering. I have been holding onto my life like it is...
Sorry I'm going to rant
Am I really as immature as you make me off to be? Honestly though, you don’t even see what God is doing in my life because you have never taken the time to ask. I don’t know why I’m letting it get to me. I know that I am not perfect, I am still learning, I’m still growing but I am not a child anymore.
So sue me if I act goofy in a bowing alley! Uhh I’m upset and I...

My five year plan.
I’ve had it down for almost a year now and before that I had been molding it for almost two years. Three years of strict, strategic planning. And now God is changing everything.
He challenged me. What if I were to abandon my plan and followed Him? Let Him take control. This is honestly the scariest thing to me.
If I do this, if I go away and live a year COMPLETELY unplanned, totally...

I'm stepping out of the boat.
Blind faith. This is the most difficult thing God has ever asked me to do. But I know this is exactly what God wants. Control of my life, that is.

I am abandoning my pride.
Please pray for me.
I feel dumb asking, but that is my pride talking. I can’t do this on my own and I need help. All I can think to do is pray and if you, brothers and sisters, could keep me in your prayers, I would be so thankful.
Pray that God tears down my nice neat little walls of security. And that I follow His will, not mine.
My will is safe. His is unknown and that scares me....
