Walking with a purpose

Warning this may cause you to see yourself in a whole new light...or I'm praying it will My view of myself: I'm too dark. I'm not small enough. I can be rude especially when I have my headphones in. I'm selfish in my quiet time. Most times I'm way too critical on myself. God's view of me: he loves me just the way I am. How do you view yourself? How do you think God views you? Take some time and really dwell on those two questions. This blog in particular has been wrecking my heart ever since I got an email from my adopted mom here at school with the Dove beauty sketches video. I want you all to go watch that video! I'm going to post it at the bottom of this blog because it kind of really changed my view on beauty which thus led me to spiritual beauty. Have you ever heard someone say "it's what's on the inside that counts"? I am not going to lie when I heard it for the first time in middle school I was like that's just a sweet way...

When people do not like me and they take that dislike to a whole new level and slander my name. You want to know what I do? I still smile. Because God is the ultimate fighter of battles. I am absolutely in love  with Exodus 14:14 " The Lord will fig...

I can remember the first time I ever won something. That feeling I received as the officials put that first medal around my neck. It was such an amazing time that I knew I wanted to feel that feeling again. How do you duplicate that again? How do you push yourself to win again and gain that feeling? Well I'm glad you asked. I recently watched something where he indicated a recipe for champions but I put my own spin on it. Today I'm going to walk you through how to become God's champion. There are 5 ways that I believe are key in this process and because I believe in you so much I'm going to share them! 1. Commitment If there is one thing that we cannot be in our walk with God and that is lazy. Okay I'm going to be honest...I'm lazy. If you have known me my whole life you will know that I hate doing most things. I do them on my own time but I've learned that in my  relationship with God I cannot afford to be lazy. You must spend  time with him daily. You h...
