#ThinkAboutItThursday

Just some questions to ponder for Think About It Thursday... If you're feeling up to it, leave a comment with an answer to one, two, or all of the questions. I'd love to read them!

• What do you believe stands between you and complete happiness?
• What's the most common white lie you hear?
• At what point did you feel you were good enough? If you're not there yet, what else do you feel you need to get there?
• What's a tidbit of advice that has never left you?
• If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend?
• Is crying a sign of weakness or strength?
• Who inspires you to be better?

Before I lay my head down and close my eyes, remember that God loves each and every one of you. Remember that I love you all as well. 

"Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

John 13:34

If you ever need anything, someone to listen to you, someone to vent to, even advice, feel free to ask. If you're a praying man/woman, seek His council first. 

I'll be attaching a button for my email soon.

Have You?

Looking back throughout my life, I've noticed that I spent all of my time talking about my issue with whomever close to me would listen. This includes my best friends, my boyfriends, my mom, literally anyone I "trusted."

Phillipians 3:6 says, "Be anxious for nothing, but everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."

So WHY have I not been doing this? 

As I've grown in my walk with Christ, I've realized that I have to pray more than I talk. I just have to. It's absolutely necessary. God knows SO much more than we do and He's planned so many great things for our lives, but by listening to the advice of anyone willing to listen to my problems, I'm choosing to follow my own path rather than His and that's wrong. God tells us in Deuteronomy 30:17-18, 

"If, however, you turn away your hearts and will not listen, but are led astray and adore and serve other Gods, 

I tell you now that you will certainly perish;"

I'm not saying any of this to scare anyone, but I'm quickly learning to trust Jesus Christ instead of the people around me to give me the answers I so desperately want (in due time). 

Last Saturday night my world was flipped for a little while and I've been praying to God so much about being anxious, but that I trust His decision. HOW was I trusting His decision if I was anxious and asking my Christian friends for advice?

The answer?

I wasn't.

I'm only human and I make mistakes, so I forgive myself for not fully trusting God's plan. From now on though, be anxious for nothing. Worry about nothing. God knows what He is doing.

I apologize for not having #WordlessWednesday, but I'll have a #ThinkAboutItThursday instead.

Much love.

Home is Where the Arch Is.

Earlier today, Momma C and I went out to lunch to catch up and talk without the presence of Padre. It was so nice to get out of the house for a little bit and of course eat yummy Mexican!

After lunch, I decided that it was time to finish up what I had started. Yep. As you have seen a bunch, I've been working on some artwork for my new apartment. Well I finally finished my second painting (!!) and I am so excited to share it with y'all!

Let's Begin!

Here come the stripes..

Almost thereee...

Done! Ignore the yellow lighting and the arm...

All inspired by this graduation cap!

I'm so excited to finally be done with this painting. As much as I love how it turned out, I despise glitter so I highly doubt either of the other two canvases or the frame I have yet to do will have any glitter on them.

Once I finished, sangria happened.

So... Now what?

Netflix?

Plan out my next canvas?

Sleep?
