New year, new life, new challenges!

Hi readers! (although there aren't many of you out there)

I'm back along with a ton of changes in my life, and hopefully I can help you in problems that you have! So this summer I moved to the great state of Colorado, and I left all of my friends and family :( It was super hard at first, and some days it still is super hard, but I've learned to accept it! I've met some great people along my journey and I know that God brought them into my life!

Next on the agenda-boys!
Those dreaded words that has rarely crossed my lips came this year..."I think I like someone" I swore that I wouldn't say that until I was absolutely certain, but I said them and I'm slowly learning to live with it :) At my old school I had never really liked anyone because I had known them for so long! Now that I'm in a new environment and meeting new people, I'm meeting guys that I like as friends...So ladies don't worry when you meet a guy that you find yourself liking! It's natural! If he likes you too he'll let you know, so don't fret!

I've struggled with my outward appearance for a very long time! Sometimes I wish that I could be as pretty or as well dressed or as athletic as some of my friends, but then I realize that God created me for a specific purpose and plan! I don't have to worry about looking good on the outside because I was made in the unique image of God. It has taken me a while to accept that, and I still have days where I don't feel as pretty, butI'm learning that I don't have to change my looks for a guy or for my friends because I am beautiful! and you are too!

So keep smiling, and hold your head high!

Juggling act

Ok! So I know for a fact that we are all busy people! But how do we juggle school friends and various other things we have going on? Simple! God! There tons of verses in the bible shot what to do if your stressed! Like Psalm 131:2 it says that I calmed and quieted myself...sometimes when life gets stressful you just need to calm down, take a break, and relax! I know in my life it's hard juggling school friends and church but sometimes I just gotta take a break and pray! So next time you're stressed and feel like you have too much on your plate step back and relax!

I'm back!!!!!

Hey! I'm back and I'm ready to give you more advice! I wanna hear what you have to say but for now I'm gonna tell you a little more about the things going on in a teenage girls life! I hope you had a good Christmas break! I'm going to tell you little by about friends...I have a lot of good friends but sometimes like always there is gonna be drama! Drama is all apart of being a teenager! Now an example from a friend of mine decided that she didn't like drama anymore and she felt there was a lot of drama in the group that she was in! So she decided to go and hang with other people who she felt didn't have a lot of drama, but she was wrong! She got some good advice... Her dad told her that if there wasn't drama then those people wouldn't be human!!! Drama is inside every group and there are always gonna be issues that may cause drama but don't give up! Stay by your friends even If there is drama!!! Xoxo

intro to video blog

Hey! It's December!

Hey Y'all!!!! It's December, and you know what that means. CHRISTMAS! I know for many of you Christmas is a time of festive decorations, food, friends, family, and most of all presents. But you know what? Christmas is WAY more than that! It's the time to celebrate our Savior's birth! In my family, on Christmas Eve we read the Christmas story, and every year its the same old thing! But this year I want you to think about Christmas (and I mean REALLY think about it). Think about Mary and how she must have felt, a teenage girl, and she was going to be the mother of the man who would one day save us from our sins! Think about Joseph and how he felt, he was just a carpenter and here he was the father of our Savior! Think about the shepherd and the wisemen! So here's your challenge...take a day and read the Christmas story and reflect on it. Then let me know how it goes.

Topic #2: Family

Hey there! Today I’m gonna be touching the topic of family. Now we all have family; it may not always be a whole family, but we still have one. There are tons of verses in the Bible on family. One is Exodus 20:12 "Honor thy mother and father...” That verse is really cool because it goes on to say, “...so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” This verse is the one of the 10 commandments. It’s the only commandment with a promise. Can you figure out what the promise is? If you can leave a comment below. Family is super important to me. Thanksgiving is one of the holidays that I give thanks for my family; not just my mom, dad, and brothers, but for my extended family.God gave us family so that we could be there for each other. If you keep things bottled in and don’t tell your parents, you’re not letting them be there for you. Families have to be trusting, loving, and they have to secure and know that whatever  each other says or does; they will always be loved and cared for. Ok!So don’t forget to tell me if you know what the promise is in the verse above! ALso let me know if you completed the challenge from yesterday! Todays challenge: be open and tell your family what you’re going through! Let me know how it goes!

Topic #1: Friends

Ok, so our first topic is friends...we all have them, but we don’t always know what to do about them. I know I’ve felt this way at one or another. When my friends get upset with me I don’t know what to do or how to act. The one person I know I can turn to is God. There are so many verses in the bible that tell us how we can be a good friend and what to do when we get in a fight or say something that hurt your friends feelings. One of my favorite verses about friends is John 15:13. It says, “Greater love has no one than this that one should lay down his life for his friends.” That verse says so much! If you didn’t quite understand what that verse meant, what it’s saying in a nut-shell is the greatest love is when you lay down you life for your friends. Now this doesn’t mean that the most important thing is to die for your friends, but what it is saying is that it’s super important to be there for them, stick up for them, and try to do everything that you can to protect them. I know that I try to protect my friends, and I hope that they would do the same for me. Now each day I will put up a challenge, and I want you to try and tackle it. This week’s challenge: Find one instant when you can stick up for someone you know. Now it doesn’t have to be a friend! It can be anybody!! Leave comments below on topics that you think would be good to discuss, and don’t forget to tell anyone you know about this blog! Who knows it may really help someone!!
