Spending Time with God

This week I was given the challenge to focus on just one verse a day. I can honestly say this is a great idea!! I have learned so much by just applying that one verse to my day.
Yesterday I focused on the verse
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
There is so much going on in this verse!!
1st God is with you!! He is always with you no matter where you go!! What ever you are doing or going through remember he cares enough to follow you. When ever you feel alone know that you are not.
2nd He is mighty to save, This brings in Jesus. Jesus died for you, even though you do not deserve it. He died so you could go to heaven! Jesus died for us sinners before we were even born! He is our great and mighty savior!!!!
3rd He will take great delight in you. God cares about you. He wants a relationship with you. He wants you to know that you are his child and that you are a priority to him. He loves you so remember you are important to Him so never feel that you are not important!
4th He will quiet you with his love! Seek God when you are distressed and feel his love in the tough situations. He is always there for you and wants to comfort you. When you are upset next time remember to ask God to lift you up and allow you to feel his love!!
5th He will rejoice over you with singing. God loves you and is singing to you! This makes me think of when you are little and your parents sing to you to calm you down or to sleep. It is the same thing!! God is showing you that he cares for you and wants you to be at peace in your life!!
Hope you all enjoyed this verse as much as I do!!!

God's Plan!!

So as I was on spring break this week I have realized that not only do I have a lot of people that I reconnected with but how much I miss these people too!! It is crazy to think where I was last year at this time to where I am this year!! It has COMPLETELY Different!!!! I often forget that God has the control in my life. He has control over everything. He also says His plan for us is good. I hope that God continues to keep moving in my life and yours. So remember the past times but also look forward because you never know what his Plan for you is!!

Taking time for yourself!!

So it is spring break time for me!!! Although it is still snowing and does not really feel like spring it is a good time for a break. This week has made me think about the time you need to take for yourself! It is so important to take time to relax and just unwind!!! School and life can be so overwhelming you need to take time for yourself so you can do your best everyday. Spending time in prayer or reading the bible are great way to just relax and spend time alone. I know other people like crafts and different types of art these are great ways to just clear your head and relax. I know that I for one do not spend enough time relaxing or to myself. I tend to always want to be on the go all of the time. But just stepping back and realizing that cannot do everything and God wants to see you happy and not overwhelmed. So I challenge you take time for yourself! Relax and have fun!

Proverbs 12:25-Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

Have a great time relaxing everyone! Remember you do not need to actually be on a break to relax and take time for yourself!
