Spring cleaning day!

It's a perfect spring day today and I've decided to do some spring cleaning! I rarely get in this mood so when I do, I've got to take advantage of it. Thus far, I've spent the morning doing laundry, dishes, cleaning, and putting away my jackets, pants, and coats and pulling out the shorts, flip-flops, and v-necks! ...Ok.. lets be honest, the v-necks are always out.. Ha!

Something about spring just motivates me. I want to clean, write, learn, grow, and live life to the fullest. I listen to music louder, I drive with the windows down, I laugh more, I look at people differently, and I reflect more deeply. I think it's partially due to the hope of summer and a newness that that season always brings. Every summer of my life has been eventful. I have never sat and watched the close of the sunset of the last summer day with brown skin and wide eyes without knowing that I've changed.

A winter coat is a lot like a time capsule. Every year on "spring cleaning day" I leave little notes and other things in the pockets of my coats and jackets so I will find them in the fall when it's time to bring them out again. I appreciate little surprises like that : )

Verses of the day!

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:35 & 37-39

Soon!

NOTHING to worry about

It's been way too long since I've blogged. A lot has happened since my last entry. I seem to write a lot in here about life and include different Bible verses and my take on the subject. I didn't intend for this blog to be that way but that's just how it has turned out!

Today was absolutely the prettiest day of the year so far! The sun was shining on every step all the way to and from class. The temperature was perfect for shorts and a v-neck and I'm so thankful to have gotten to experience it! However.... with life coming quickly and graduation approaching, even the brightest days have been, at times, clouded with a certain anxiousness that changes my perspective. That shouldn't happen! I have allowed myself to feel uncertainty, doubt, and even fear about my future.

Disclaimer: I apologize for the trend in my blog topics but this has been hovering over my head since I started this blog.

Anyway.. Why do I fear? Is it a lack of faith? I so desire to regain the childlike faith spoken of in Mark 10:13-31?

"...Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them."

I just want to trust and believe wholeheartedly without an ounce of fear or doubt that God has every second of my life in His complete control and I have NOTHING to worry about.

It's true.

Thanks for reading

Soon.
