Potty Problems

What A Roll of Toilet Paper Taught Me About God!

Potty Problems

Happy Monday!

I have a brief story of motivation for you guys,

While in the bathroom at church on Sunday (sorry if this is “TMI” lol) I saw the toilet-paper was turned backwards on the holder which absolutely irritates my last nerve. As I flipped up the holder to turn the toilet paper the right way God spoke to me…

He stated…

“You see how easily you fixed that small problem, how easy it was for you to ‘turn it around’? This is what I do with your problems, this is how easy it is for me to fix your situations. I do not have to question or struggle to figure out anything, I AM the solution. My word states ‘And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?’ (Matthew 6:30). And just like that toliet-paper roll whenever you are going in the wrong direction, I will turn you around to the correct path.”

And as always, it hit me…

Sometimes in our walk with Christ, we only seek “surface level saving” we only allow God to graze the surface of our problems or better yet our lives! Allowing HIM to only remove the weed at the surface but not dig deep enough to destroy the root of the problem. Seeking HIM only when we run out of options instead of making HIM priority, numero uno. Failing to realize that the solution already lies in front of us, and it is HIM.

I say all of this to say, whatever you are fighting yourself with this week, this month, this year etc. Allow God to flip your problems just as easily and as quick as I flipped that toilet-paper roll. Allow HIM to do all of your dirty work and always allow HIM to be your supply.

This is easier said than done, I. KNOW. THIS. All I am asking you to do is say yes. One simple yes to God can change your life in ways you never knew were possible. Allow HIM to be the Father HE is desiring to be in your life, and as the loving Father HE is, HE will continue to guide you along the way.

I dare you to meditate on this scripture this week,

Romans 12:2

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

Begin, to allow God to change you piece by piece, bit by bit. Seek HIS will for your life and begin to KNOW that HE is your God. And when you KNOW that you are HIS child you will realize there will never be anything that you have to stress over again.

You are covered. You are healed and honey, you are saved.

I love you guys so much!!

If you would like to submit any prayer requests, ask any questions, etc, I am readily available to you! Contact me at dianiellison@gmail.com

Enjoy your already amazing week!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
