Imagine life without God

How important is spirituality in your life?

My whole existence is God so it’s extremely important to me. I talk to many people that don’t believe in God. They have said to me, how can you believe in this fairy thing that there is no proof of? I guess I can say how can you believe we came from nothing but some random occurrence.

The truth is I will never understand how anyone can truly look at the beauty in the world and not believe in God.

When I was in college taking my anatomy & physiology class we studied the heart. I mean out of every single organ or even the body the heart is definitely the most interesting thing. How perfectly it filters the blood, how perfectly it beats, how each valve opens and closes in perfect timing.

How can one look at the heart and its perfection and not see Divine Power made that? How can you look at a baby take their first steps and not see how perfect God made us. We are not perfect due to sin but how perfectly made we are.

It’s not about spirituality as much as it is God living inside me. God living within my partner. God living in our household. How can it not be all about God when He is the one glues us to beauty in this world. He is the one that made us in His image.

Many may say, well we are gods that is the whole point of the story of the Bible. I can’t even comprehend that ignorance. For the truth is as simple as looking at how perfect a flower grows. Simply looking at the sun go down or the sun rising in the morning. Everywhere you look it’s like a master painting things into existence.

It’s not hard to see the beauty and I get life can be extremely hard. But that never takes away from how beautiful life truly is. The only ones that refuse to believe that God exist, are the ones that find every excuse to why God is mean, God isn’t fair, life isn’t fair, no where in the Bible does it say life is fair. No where in the Bible does it speak of all the wonderful things you will have by believing in God. On the contrary things will be harder believing in God. Because if God is good, Satan is Evil, who do you think wants to destroy you. Who you think gains the most every single time you stray from God?

Without darkness you will never appreciate the light. Without good you will never truly comprehend the evil. In order to view life it’s as simple as that.

My Moms laugh

Describe one of your favorite moments.

One of my favorite moments is definitely when I am laughing with my mom. I am talking about those moments when you are both laughing so hard your belly starts to hurt and feel like you are about to pee on yourself. She has such a good laugh and watching her laugh makes me light up. It’s one of the most beautiful moments you can share with your mother and I love it every single time. I am one of the lucky ones that gets to still enjoy that. I am incredibly grateful for that. God has truly blessed me with her.

Bury Sh*t!

I had this friend, who I thought was a friend that completely turned his back on me. Turns out he wasn’t a friend, he was a user. The moment I no longer became useful he tossed me like garbage. Now this person used to say how loyal he was and all this fake 💩. The truth is I should have known he was fake. I should have known he was a liar. I should have known everything he spoke about was lies. Regardless of him cutting me out I had hoped we would reconcile but I no longer want to reconcile. I have mourned the relationship between us. Today I put the final nail in the coffin. I have moved on and thought I would like to be the better person and wish him luck. I have to be honest I literally don’t give a 💩 what happens to him. It’s not about bitterness or anything I just don’t care. A person can wish well and hope for the best but once you cross the line to where they no longer care. It’s gone nothing you do matters nothing you say matters you are dead to them. And he is dead to me. Mourn the loss of the people that have done you wrong and after that let it go. No use holding on to grudges or even any feelings for them. After you have mourned their death you can move forward never looking back. It’s the best way to heal yourself.

Memorial Day Weekend

As we go forth this Memorial Day weekend on the many bbq around in the States, with everyone enjoying time with the fam. Don’t forget to take time out to remember the men and women that have died for this great country.

I know many may feel that America is on a decline. This might be true morally, our country has been invaded by this Marxist ideology being pushed in schools and pretty much everywhere.

With that said I still have hope for this beautiful country. I pray God will hear the prayers of the patriots that pray for the healing of this great nation. That we can come together as Americans in the belief like our founders did. Give me freedom or give me death.

So on this weekend as you celebrate please remember those that did just that. To give you freedom they faced death. Shedding their blood for the American people, for the American dream. No matter what the color of your skin, no matter that background anyone can make it. May God bless the members that have lost family fighting for our freedom. Bless the men and women that have all paid the ultimate price to give us the freedoms we take for granted.

On reflection I hope many will think about what we take for granted. Freedom isn’t free it is purchased by the sacrifice of someone else.

Jesus Christ died for our freedom from this life and paid with His blood. The men and woman that died for our freedom in America paid with their lives. Never forget that.

I hope it is a blessed weekend and safe one.

God Bless the USA 🇺🇸

Journals

Do you have any collections?

I have a collection of journals. I started to write in my first diary at the age of 12. My mom was the one that bought me this little purple diary with a lock on it. After that she would buy me one for Christmas if I asked for one. I would ask for them because it depends how much I wrote. I know right now I have about 24 books. I have also a prayer book, a poem book, dream book, and my love book.

What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

I would love to be remembered as someone that tried to change how mental health was seen.

I am trying to educate and constantly remind people that we need to help the mental health community. They are underfunded, not enough programs to help them, and not enough alternatives.

It’s all about medicating people without giving them the resources they need to try and better themselves.

It is something that no politician wants to hear or cares to change. It’s such shame that no one actually wants to help them.

It’s why I hope that I am able to be remembered as someone that did make a change in the way people see mental health.

Reminder: Mental Health Awareness

As I have said before May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This is a list of things that have helped me. I hope they help you. You are not alone.

Also trying to be a better version of yourself doesn’t mean you are weak.

Learning to forgive others for what they have done for you, only makes you feel stronger.

Self care is something we all must do. If you don’t take care of yourself no one else will either.

Therapy is a tool to be used not ignored.

I want to encourage everyone that kindness goes a long away.

Coping skills are there to remind you, how to deal with issues.

Praying is one of the greatest ways to heal and find true peace.

Working out helps to make you feel good and give you the confidence you need.

Healthy eating is a way for you to take out the food that makes you feel down. Don’t eat anything that will make you feel sluggish. Don’t eat anything that will make you feel regret. Only eat and drink things that will help you to feel good about yourself. Not to mention that when eating healthy foods you also gain clarity. Stay away from junk food.

Remember journaling is way to put your thoughts down on paper. Even if it feels pointless the thought has been written and maybe now you can let it go.

If you experience any thoughts about self deleting please call for help or ask for help. People are not mind readers and don’t know what is going on. So please do seek help because you are not alone.

Last but not least remember God isn’t just the Creator. He can be your partner, your friend, your guide, your anchor through your life. If you truly need someone always there God is the perfect companion for you.

Love it

How do you feel about cold weather?

I absolutely love the cold. I not only sleep better in the winter but in the summer my room has to be 60 degrees while also using two fans. I want it cold, I want to be under my blankets so I can feel cozy. That is the best way to sleep so for me it’s the best.
