Never give up

Never stop being the best version of yourself. Many will try to change you. Many will find ways to convince you that you are not good enough. Many will try to let you believe that you are too broken to be loved. Don’t let that thinking keep you from shining the light God put inside you. Instead keep fighting the darkness that is trying to destroy you. Only you can fight that darkness. Only you have the power to keep fighting. Stay strong. You are not alone. ~Emma~

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

One- waking up in the morning no matter how crappy I feel waking up makes me happy.

Two- having my first cup of coffee in the morning makes me happy.

Three- spending time with my mom and dad as they get older I know how precious the time we have left is. I don’t take any of that for granted.

Four- my sister. She is my best friend and even when we fight and she doesn’t understand me I know she will always be there for me regardless.

Five- every morning I wake up I thank God for each new day and for the strength to get through it. At night before bed no matter how tired I am I always sit on my bed and just talk to Him. It might sound weird but I never once think He isn’t there with me. I talk to Him like he is the only one that will ever truly understand me. He is the only one that will ever truly love me the way I am. And honestly that is the happiness moment each day I have.

He is Risen

I hope everyone has a beautiful blessed day. While enjoying the time with family and friends remember it was through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ dying for us that we rejoice in. He died for our sins and rose from the grave for us to have eternal life. Have a blessed day. ~Emma~

Walk on sunshine

Today is going to be a good day. I refuse to allow anything to bring my mood down. Instead I will be walking on sunshine. Does that mean everything will go right? Does that mean it will be an easy day? No but I am choosing that regardless of the day I will still have a good day. I will not allow anything to bring me down. I hope today you have a beautiful day filled with love and lots of blessings. ~Emma~

Positive Christmas turn

Last night was fun and today is peaceful. I am grateful to have my family that accepts me even at my worst. I knew the other day I lashed out it had been a while since I went so down so fast. Maybe it was being sick and down that drove to lose control so easily. But the truth is I still need to find better coping skills to keep me ahead of the twists and turns. Life is extremely unpredictable and I need to learn to cope with I can control which is myself. There will always be a trigger always something will change my moods. It’s learning and finding new ways to adapt to the chaos that I must learn to master in myself. I know I am not alone, I trust in God and I know somewhere someone else may be experiencing the same thing. It is through that I must learn to find ways to keep fighting. The mood swings can happen but learning to keep calm and being aware is something we must all learn. Learning to lean on those that support us is a good thing. Therapist, group therapy, God, family, friends whatever it is keep finding good coping skills to help you find the strength you have. I learned last night not only God gave me the strength but my family did also. It was through that support I have in place that gave me the chance to speak to them, to trust in them and allow myself to vulnerable with them. Having the conversation and being completely open with them helped me enjoy being in the moment with the whole family. It was truly an amazing night that I will remember for a long time. I hope your Christmas was blessed. As I said to everyone yesterday remember we celebrate Christmas because it was the gift that we got from God in Jesus Christ who came and died to save us. We celebrated His birth. You might not believe but this what I believe and I am willing to stand on that rock always. God has given me so much and Jesus isn’t just my king, he is my friend, the lover of my soul, He knows me in ways no one will ever know and it’s a comfort for me. To have trust and faith in someone I can feel in my heart. Without God I would not be here it is through his love and Grace that I am at peace tonight. I send you some of that peace that maybe you can have that inner peace starting this new week. Have a wonderful week, filled with many blessings. ~Emma~
