“Just because I asked you not

to do something, does not mean you did not have the capacity to do it.”

God laid this word on my heart earlier today, as I was staring at my reflection in my bathroom mirror, wondering how in the world I was going to get up onstage tomorrow and belt out a tune for an audition. God reassured me in the fact that if He wanted me there, I was going to be there, regardless of my doubts and worries. He also assured me that even if I didn’t make it, it would all be for a reason, apart of His glorious purpose and plan for me.

I wanted to extend this word to any one else who might need it, as I know when situations don’t quite work out the way we planned, we often tend to look at ourselves and scrutinize, asking “what’s wrong with you? was I not good enough?” THESE ARE LIES FROM SATAN. Rebuke them immediately upon impact. We are all children of God. Furthermore, we are His chosen people, set apart and called out to spread His word, further His kingdom, and bring Him glory. There is nothing wrong with a child of God, not ever, not no way, not no how. NEVER. So get that out of your head immediately. Any self-doubts, insecurities, fears, etc. are NOT from God and NOT true about you. You are beautiful, worthy of love, and capable of doing things far beyond your imagination, and God will supply you with talents and gifts that will be deeply rooted in His plan for You.

He will never leave you, forsake you, or turn back on His promises for you. I hope His word impacted you as it did me, and even if it didn’t, I pray that you’ll pass it on to your friends and any other brothers and sisters in Christ who might be struggling right now. God spoke into my life for a reason, and I didn’t want to miss an opportunity for more people to be touched by it as well.

I love y’all, and so does He.

It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables.

Time to say goodbye to two-faced people, time to say adios to those who are only bringing me down, and time to forgive and completely wipe out people who have hurt me too bad to remember.

I will not be burdened by any resentment or bitterness or anger or guilt or shame or heartbreak or sorrow or negativity. No more, in Jesus’ name, I declare myself free from anything not from Him. He breaks these chains and I throw them off and leave them behind in my trail of dust.

It’s a new chapter, it’s time to move on. It’s time to love fully, pin my heart on my sleeve, and let Jesus take me on new adventures, daily. Time to grow up, physically, mentally, and emotionally, but mostly spiritually, in my relationship with Jesus.

High school was a good four years, overall. But only a handful of people will take the journey outside of it into the real world with me, and I couldn’t be more excited. Because they are all beautiful women of God who bring positivity, light, sunshine, encouragement, lessons, and so much joy to each day I communicate with them.

And my best friend, Samantha O’Connor, will be right by my side, as she has been for the past two years. She brings me guidance, wisdom, laughter, advice, joy, healing, etc. She is truly the best friend I could ask for.

As I move into this next chapter, of turning 18, graduating from high school, and moving into college, I am stoked to meet new people and become even closer with those who I have already met. I am ready to make an impact, in Jesus’ name, on people and places.

Needless to say, the bittersweet of graduating high school is more sweet than anything. It is tangibly sweet, since it is saturated with God’s promises, and because He is good, He is true to all of said promises.

I am ready to live life, to the fullest and in abundance, until it overflows, in God’s endless outpouring of love.

11AM

Every part of my body is sore. I feel nauseous. I have this dull headache. And my nose is constantly runny.

What kind of disease is this? And on the day before my birthday?! I don’t think so. 😠

I should probably

get some sleep. I should probably wash my hair. I should probably turn off the TV. I should probably turn off the lights. I should probably go to bed.

I totally ate at the Shake Shack while I was in New York! And the picture of the line there is pretty accurate.

You know what really grinds my gears?

When people only use God’s word when they want to win an argument or present a controversial view and base it on that, so no one can argue against it. They’re just looking to make a point that the majority of people will agree with. Then they never pick up their Bible again. It’s more sad than anything. There are good things in His word. His promises, His praises, His might, His power, His beauty, His miracles, His love, His Son. I wish people read it for that reason and not for reference during a rousing debate.
