Music Really CAN Change Lives

"You cried for the broken
You lived for the hopeless
You died for the guilty so that we could be righteous
You took away the shame
You wiped the tears away
And I am amazed, oh yeah, of your love for me"

-"Your Love" by The Ambassador ft. Michelle Bonilla and KJ-52

Sometimes, it seems like us, humans, are so prone to forget everything that He did for us.

It's songs like this that make me tear up over His greatness.

I've been changing up the music that I listen to.

I pretty much gave up rap/ hip hop music because of the words and content of the songs.

I switched over to pop/ country/ adult contemporary.

I'm switching things up again.

My phone literally lives on the Jason Derulo or Demi Lovato Pandora station.

I changed it to Lecrae today.

It's hard to explain, but I feel like I'm actually doing something right for a change...

I feel like I'm renewing my love for Christ a little more right now. 

It's easy for your love to get complacent and even drift away.

Make tiny changes in your day to day life, and you'll notice a difference.

This just shows you that God speaks in different ways. 

Thank you for reading the words that I type.

Haha, LOVE YOU GUYS. <3

Drifting Away

"So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it."
-Hebrews 2:1 NLT

Most of us have heard about God before. Most of us have heard about what He does, how He loves us, etc.  A lot of people hear this, know it is right, and still fight it, or even drift away from it.

Christians aren't perfect. I'm a Christian. I'm most definitely not perfect, and I won't ever claim to be.

I'm not going to lie... I notice that I drift away from God sometimes. I put other things that I think are really important to the top of my priority list... Truth is, I notice a difference in my life. I can tell when I start drifting away.

Looking back, do you find yourself drifting away? I have something that might help.

Every single time you go to put something before God, ask yourself this: "Why can't I give time to someone who has put so much time into me?"

Here's a challenge. Put God first every single day this week. 7 days. You just might notice a big difference.

Love you guys.  <3

You Are BEAUTIFUL.

It's so easy these days for girl to feel insecure. Society has painted a "picture" of what "beautiful" is. Society thinks being "beautiful" means wearing a size zero or having a thigh gap. These things are so superficial. To be honest, society doesn't know what being beautiful truly means.

1 Peter 3:4-5:
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

God doesn't declare society's "beautiful" true beauty. The true beauty comes from the inside. That is what matters most of all.

One of my favorite beauty vloggers on YouTube has a quote that is my absolute favorite: "Makeup will only get you so far if you have an ugly heart."  -MeghanRosette

This means you can do anything you want to to change your outward appearance, but if you still have a hateful heart, it is completely worthless.

And if you still want to feel beautiful from the outside too, here is a helpful verse:

"You are altogether beautiful my love; there is no flaw in you."
-Song of Soloman 4:7 <3

Stay Beautiful,

Adriauna
