Things That Matter

Do you ever feel like you can't hear God? Or that you aren't living the life you're suppose to live?

Things That Matter

Every morning when I wake up I think to myself, "What am I going to do today that matters?"

I recently did a Bible Study with my friend Caitlyn called, "Things that matter." In the devotional it asked if I was choosing the path to live my life to God, or if life was simply choosing me? I often feel like I'm just going through the motions of my life that was handed to me, not the life I was created to live.

I feel stuck sometimes, what am I doing? I think this on a daily! Anyone else? I get frustrated very easily because I don't know what God's will for my life is, and I'll be honest, it stresses me out. Why can't he just call me on my phone and tell me what to do?!

"What is a dream you have that only God can do?" "What if you dreamed for your community? "For the people you work with?"

I try not to think to hard into my dreams because then I get upset and tell myself they won't happen. Is this my own fault? Am I not living my life the way I am suppose to live?

Mark 10: 27

I play it safe because I don't want to fail. But isn't that apart of life? Is it because I must uphold a certain reputation for my family name or the name I'm creating for myself? But I want to be a women who wakes up with purpose and intent and who never gives up.

Most things that really matter require Faith and I am lacking. God please fill me with your peace for I worry so much. The world and school around me is nerve wracking. Calm my heart.

Last week of the semester! Woo Hoo!

However, as I have always tried my hardest to find happiness in any and every moment and just generally always try to find the best in every situation, I have realized that your own happiness is much more important than people often think. Finding the good in any situation can help you to find happiness in some of the simplest and unexpected places.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
