Inspiration and a Whole Bunch of Randomness

I thought it would be refreshing to start off today's blog with an inspirational passage. I read it this morning and it has been a constant reminder today as to what really is important in my life. Here it goes....




"Even when fear or stress challenges you, you never have to deal with it single-handedly, if Jesus rules your life. When your life seems in shambles around you, He offers strength and comfort for a hurting heart. God never gives up on you. His love cannot change. Today, delight in the one who never deserts you."


Today, I am trying my best to delight myself in God. It's not always easy, but I keep reminding myself that I am going to let God be strong for me and fight my battles for me. I can't do them alone, nor do I want to. Trying to deal with my battles alone has landed me in the position I am in now--unhappy and full of bitterness, resentment, anger and disgust. Sometimes I can not even stand myself. Every day is a struggle, but today has been one of my easier days in the last year. Today I am not dwelling on what I should have said or did. I am not worrying about things I can not change. I am not emotionally draining myself with pain that is unbearable for me to handle on my own. I am simply letting Him deal with my situation and me. I am going to hope and pray that tomorrow is as easy as today was :)


While we are on the topic of inspiration, I thought it would be cool to post an inspirational quote or message on here on Wednesday's. It's that awkward time of the week. Not the beginning, not the end. Just Wednesday. It's the part of the week where you might slack a little and need a little "boost." :) So, a new little piece of Inspiration and Encouragement will be here every Wednesday for you.


Now.....to the fun facts part of this blog.....
I thought it would be interesting to share some random facts about myself with you all so we could get to know each other a little bit better. I haven't gotten around to posting a section about me here on my blog yet. Who would have thought it would be so hard trying to come up with some thing to say about yourself. It's like..."How do I define myself in a paragraph?" or "What's more important to say then something else?" So, without further ado, I am just going to post some questions about myself. I hope you all enjoy and if you would like, leave a comment below and tell me a little bit about yourselves!

1. Do you always where your seatbelt in the car?

Yes. One of my friend's died while we were in high school because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Since that day, I will NOT ride in a vehicle with anyone I don't trust or if there is not a seatbelt available.

Most definitely my engagement ring, which will be my (future) wedding ring!

My man is my best friend. But I do have a set of close girlfriends who are very important to me. Those being Amber, Megan, Amanda, and Laura.

6. What is your favorite smell?

I like Vanilla or sweet candles.
