It's been awhile...

Hey everybody!!

It's been awhile since I've blogged and I apologize for this. I work everyday, and my phone data usage was really high for a while so blogging from there became not convient anymore, but now I can again, and I still work a lot, but when I'm not blogging, I miss it.

I am the type of person that is always thinking, and can always have a conversation on just about anything, and I love that about myself, but I don't get to do that often because some may find in me that what I have to say is random and comes from no where, but it does it comes from my very curious mind, and from my heart, that I genuinely care about what other people have to say, and what their opinions may be.

Some people ask for peoples opinions, but already have their mind set on what they are going to do about a situation, or don't care what they have to say, so what I have to say to that is... why even ask peoples opinions then? To get angry with them, and shove your opinion down their throat? And begin an argument? Honestly people, grow to have an open mind, and even if you already have your opinion on something, then cool you're allowed to have that of course you are, but don't make it your stone brick only thought, I'm not saying stray away from what you believe, but open your mind to hear what people have to say, and talk to them about it, have a conversation with people, yeah stick to your opinion but don't keep bringing up your opinion because the person you're going to be talking to isn't going to want to talk to you about anything if you're just going to keep talking about what you think, it's gotta go both ways, each of you have to meet equally, and be open and respectful to what the other has to say or think about something.

You may not always agree but you don't have to get angry and tell the person their stupid or anything like that, just talk to people with an open mind and an open heart, because it's then when you become true to being like Christ to bring it to that point. I mean were here on earth to be Christ like, and do you think Jesus is up there forcing his opinion on everybody? No He gave us free will, and the willingness to listen to us with anything we have to say. Yeah it's a lot easier because we can talk to Him without actually physically seeing Him as we can a friend or family member, but take that mentality into concept when you're talking to people, or when their talking to you, or coming to you about something or somebody.

Thanks for reading! I'll try and keep my posts up to date more because honestly, I miss this very much because as I started out saying, I have a lot to say, and I'm a curious person and don't get the chance much to say what is on my mind all the time, due to the reasons I stated earlier.

Movies:

Ever just want to sit and relax? Watch a decent movie? Enjoy your day, or your night? Honestly I can tell you right now it's one the things I absolutely love to do. I don't get much time to do this often, but today I gave myself the time and day to do this. I went online and just started to watch some random movies. You know it can't be classics like the movie that was just in theaters, or maybe even didn't make it to theaters. It has to be a movie pretty much barely anybody knows about, these movies have become my favourites.

Theres something underground indi movies that nobody knows about, theres such a different feel to them, they make me feel different and new and fresh and unique. They usually give me a glimpse into seeing things differently, I find them the most creative as well. The story line isn't incredibly predictable as theater movies may be, and also the acting isn't perfect, the filming isn't either, and its amazing to me.

I love to watch these movies because somebody creative made this movie, thought it through and they did it for a reason obviously. Maybe its about their lives, or situations they've been through, and to be the one to watch this and see these movie producers and writers portray that through their God given talent of making a movie, I want to experience this live it and see how they portray different things and situations in different ways.

I recommend everybody to grab a blanket a cup of tea, a beer, or anything really to cuddle up and watch this movie or even have it playing in the back ground while your packing or doing something. Let yourself open up your eyes and heart to learn something new today, to see something new. Let yourself step back and ask why the producer did it this way?

Song of My Week:

This Week's Song:

Bethel Music - Closer by Steffany Frizzell 

Listen Here:

Your love has ravished my heart

And taken me over,

It's taken me over

And all I wan is to be

With you forever, 

With you forever

Woo ohh ohh

Woo ohh ooh

How great is your love for me 

So pull me a little closer

Take me a little deeper.

I want to know you hart,

I want to know your heart. 

Your love is so much sweeter

Then anything I've tasted.

I want to know your heart. 

'Cause you could love me

more in a moment, 

Then all the lovers could 

in a life time.

You want this? You can have this!

Ever just want to figure out your life? Plan every thing and when it's going to happen? I've written a post similar to this before, but I'm going to again because it's what strongly on my mind lately.

I'm at this point in my life right, I just graduated college and I'm trying to decide what am I going to do? I use to be one to litterly have everything figured out. I'm really not that kind of person anymore, I mean that part of me is still there when it comes to some things, but when it comes to big life plans, it's not in my hands you know? It's in Gods!!

There are a number of things I want to do, and would love to do in over the next couple years, I want to:

- I want to take a dance class
- I want to move out of my parents
- I want to complete my life guarding & instructors

... and a few other things.

Although I have these few things, I know that whatever will be will be! That whatever God has in store for me I'm willing to hop on board with where He wants me to go, who He want's me to be involved with, what He want's me to do, and I'm going to completely trust Him, I already do!

I'm on the way to doing a few of these things on my list, I move out next week with my sister and my friend Emily and I start my next step of completing my life guarding and this is super exciting for me! God knows my heart, He knows me better then I know myself, as He does for all of us, and we are willing to be completely open with arms spread wide to intake everything He has for us, and what and where He wants us to do or where to go!

As much as we feel we know ourselves, there's somebody else out there who knows you the ABSOLUTE best and it's God!

When it come to absolutely everything He knows you the best!

I encourage you all again as I have once before.... give it all to God, trust Him with EVERYTHING you've got and live with your arms wide open to what God has instore for you, because wouldn't you love to have somebody who knows you so well that they could just tell you what to do with your life? ... Newsflash... there is that person... and you can have Him if you want Him............

A little note:

Photography is a beautiful career and lifestyle.

I couldn't have chose a better life to live to be honest. I mean I've been through a lot but I wouldn't exchange any of it.

I've been working on finishing my last year of college in photography and have been having a blast! I've had a pretty awesome college experience for the most part and Its coming to an end but I'm excited.

Choosing photography as my career choice and lifestyle has been amazing. I'm working on my internship hours with the number one photographer in my hometown: www.ashnayler.com and I've been learning so much and been having the time of my life.

I hope everybody loves their lives and live everyday for that day becuse God's Word tells us to ... Not boast about tomorrow because we DO NOT know what a day may bring forth ...

So everybody remember that, live for today :) Xo

Hamster, Bunny, God, Us ... LOVE!

One of my close friends has a hamster and she loves it SO MUCH I always thought it was so cute then I asked her why she loves it so much!

She told me having this little guy has showed her how God looks at us. She will look into this little guys beady little eyes and just love on him. She can hold him in the palm of her hand and he just sits there so helpless at times and so beautiful. Then theirs is looking down at him LOVING on him insanely not matter what if he chews a hole in your sweater you find it adorable!

This was beautiful how she explained this and I felt I should share it with you. When I got home that night I looked at my little pet bunny the same way.

We are so incredibly beautiful in Him!! He holds us in the palm of his hands and just looks at us with unconditional love!!!

People we've got to grasp this!! We're worth so much to Him!! He did CREATE you ya know!??!! With a plan and PURPOSE for your life!!! Ask Him your purpose because He just wants to love on you and for us on to just love on Him.

Minds:

Today is a mind day.... A day when I need to concentrate on what I'm thinking because I know what I'm thinking is not important or beneficial to my life or healing process at all.

So I encourage everybody!!! Think about what you're thinking about because it's not worth it to think about hurt or memories that just aren't going to benefit you moving forward.

...don't dwell on the past... Because its the PAST ... your future is all that matters... Take from your past mistakes or right learning and learn from them... That's the only thing about the past you should focus on...
