God is so good!

Today, I am just sitting in awe and contentment.

I don't always have my head on straight. By that, I mean I don't always see the bigger picture and I am looking away from God. Sometimes I struggle to spend time with Him. Sometimes I am consistent spending time with Him in the mornings and then don't think much of Him during the day. Sometimes I get caught up in the world. Sometimes I am distracted from why I am here on this Earth.

All of these struggles have always been in my life and when I was younger, I would sit in bed at night and beat myself up about it. I would go over every single thing I had done that day that was sinful and I would feel so much guilt. Then, one day I understood what grace was and that I will never be perfect or even "good". I am sinful and I will always fall short... BUT I can rest that I am loved by a God who is bigger than my sin and who has conquered my sin. Praise God!

There have been alot of great things in my life lately that have put my head back on straight and turned it back toward the cross. Here are a few!


Don't get overwhelmed or overcommitted.


Amen! Reminds me to focus on the relationship, not routine.


Helps me to TRUST the plan!


Wow... I am not nearly grateful enough for His blessings.


One of those blessings... my group of friends. (Not just these ones haha) I've realized so much throughout college that the people you surround yourself with truly do rub off on you and effect your life . I cannot thank God enough for the incredible friendships I've had all throughout life. They always turn my face back to the Lord.


Amazing trip. Being able to look at God's creation and realize that He's got it handled. 


Awww... I just loved this. Realizing imperfection, receiving grace, and love regardless of the circumstances.

Amazing song.
