10 Reasons Why I'm #BLESSED

In the process of regaining my strong spiritual relationship, I've decided to sit here and compile a list of 10 reasons why I'm blessed. (These are in no particular order.)

  • I have a healthy family.
  • My college tuition is paid for by scholarships. 
  • I got to spend Mother's Day (today) with my mom.
  • I  got to see 19 beautiful, crazy years of life.
  • I have a family that supports me and wants to see me succeed. 
  • I was rear-ended in a car accident in September 2014 yet the impact wasn't enough to push me into the incoming traffic.
  • I have a Lord that never gives up on me no matter how many times I've failed or messed up.
  • When it seems that I have no to talk to or no one understands, I'm blessed to know that my God understands.
  • I made it through this past semester of college. I swear it was the most stressful I've ever been to, and I doubted I would make it through so many times.
  • I'm blessed that you're taking the time to read this. Some of you reading this might be viewers from my beauty channel on YouTube. It's surreal to me that people actually want to hear about what I have to say or read what I type. Nevertheless, thank you for your support. <3 Every page view or video view honestly makes my day. 
God Bless,

Coming to Terms with Myself...

Hey guys. Long time, no type on this blog.... I'm sorry. 

I could tell you I was busy which I was. I'm a sophomore in college and currently I'm in the middle of finals right now.

However, lately I've realized that people make time for the things that are really important to them.

I've also realized that I haven't been making time for God.

I then asked myself the question, "Is God important to me, to my life?"

I then hated myself for having to ask myself that question.

I do love my God. I promise I do. But I haven't made a lot of time for Him.

I asked myself why. Why do I not have time for Him?  A better question to ask myself is: "Why do I think I don't have time for Him? Why have I been doing that takes up so much of my time?"

The Answers: 

I've been stressed and overwhelmed with college. (He can relieve stress and take away my worries.) 

I've been so tired lately. (Yet, He's the one who wakes me up every morning...) 

I feel like He's let me down. (He really hasn't. He just has a different plan for me.) 

The people I have been surrounded by lately aren't really the best Christian influences. (I... I honestly don't know what to say about this, so I'm going to let myself think about this one for a bit...)

I have been denying the fact that I have been drifting away from God lately.

However, you can't solve a problem that you don't accept.

This is me accepting it.

This is me racking my brain trying to think of ways to build my relationship with Him back.

Do I exactly know what I'm going to do right now? No, but I know I've going to try. I'm going to actually read my day and night devotions. I'm actually going to pray more like I used to.

That's all that I know of that I'm going to do right now.

But I also know that I'm going to build my faith back one day at a time. 

With His help.
