You may not have a valentine, Or perhaps you do
But in any case I'd like to, Share a thing… or twenty-two
First, You should know, You are sweeter than pie
Second, God calls you, The apple of His eye
Happy 3rd Anniversary :)
God is good, Princesses. We made it to three years at TAYP. :) I don’t have much to say (shocking!) except, thank you for reading and being part of this journey. You are truly a miracle. I love that you are alive. Keep seeking Jesus with all of your beautiful life. Till the next chapter,…
Being You vs Bringing You
Lately I’ve noticed I tend to struggle with being independent and trying to do it all on my own. I’m not good with asking for help, reaching out, letting other’s strengths help me in my weakness. It’s bad, I know. The body of Christ is all about inter-dependence, not independence. Meaning, we are individually ourselves,…
Believe It or Not, You Are Beautiful
Hey, you! Yes, you there, trying to hide your face behind all that make-up and your body under those perfect clothes. I see you and you are beautiful. Without all of it. You are beautiful before you put on the right outfit. You are beautiful before you do anything to your hair. You are beautiful…
“Try” by Colbie Caillat
Have you ever dealt with insecurity before? I certainly have! My personal journey has led me to appreciate artists who promote confidence and loving yourself. Today, I am sharing a song by Colbie Caillat called “Try”. The song is telling girls and women they do not have to try to be different to be liked…
God Calls You This
A few days after returning from Brazil, God gave me this poem and I am going to share it with you all. I’m praying it encourages you and breaks any lie you have heard or believed about yourself. Your words do not define me. Your labels are not who I am. I am not my…
He Makes Everything Beautiful
This blog was always meant to be a place where I could encourage you. A place where I could teach you what God has taught me. A place to remind you of your identity in Christ, for the days you may forget who you are. I was not prepared for the days when I would…
When I Learned to Have Joy in My Suffering
The seed contains the blessings of life. It is so small, so frail, yet it produces vegetables, fruit, trees, flowers – all wonderful nutrition from which we thrive. However, does the seed know this when we plant it in the ground? Does it understand how strong and beautiful it will be after its season under…
Love Lessons: My First Relationship
Looking back at the year 2014, I wanted to share with you an area of my life where God did some tremendous training – my first relationship. Being in a relationship is a lot different than we are conditioned to believe. Many TV shows and movies portray relationships that involve drama, lying, betrayal, and love…
Video: “Lovely” by Sara Haze
Just recently someone told a friend of mine some awful things about how she looked. She has been working on building confidence in herself and how God made her, but it only took those few words to make her forget who she was. Unfortunately, this story is common among so many of us. We try…
“Selfie” by Dove
YouTube is awesome but the ads can be a little annoying sometimes right? It feels like FOREVER for that 5 second countdown till you can click “Skip This Ad” and can FINALLY watch your video. So, I was about to watch a video the other day and this ad came on of this girl taking…
Examining Love: Love is Patient and Not Easily Angered
I can’t tell you how honored I am to have an opportunity to share a little bit of my story with you. I’m all about being real and honest, even when the truth is ugly, because it gives people a chance to see just how beautifully good God has been to me. My life is…
