Let There Be Light

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." - Mathew 5:16

"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." - 1 John 1:7 

Thanks to my friend Megan for letting me film her! :D

Disappointments to Blessings

I've come to realize that God turns past disappointments into blessings. In the moment of disappointment, it's hard to see the positive. We need to see from God's perspective.

Success

Everyone is searching to find their way.
People search for success, but what is success?
How is success defined?
The world judges your success based on your riches--the amount of money you make, the number of followers you have, the brand of clothes you have, how thin you are...

An Aching Heart

When You Mess Up

We make mistakes; we're human. It's impossible to do everything right in life. It's how we react and handle our mistakes that matter.

We can be hard on ourselves when mistakes are made. We can feel like horrible people and become very ashamed of ourselves.
God didn't create us to be perfect and He didn't create us to sulk in our imperfections. 

It's from these mistakes that you learn and grow. You know the saying, "You live and you learn." If you live, you make mistakes. It's inevitable. 

Take each mistake as a learning opportunity. I think this is a big reason why the older the wiser. They've had more time to make mistakes and more mistakes to learn from. 

We must accept the unchangeable past, and we must trek on with more wisdom.
Although the past is unchangeable, it is not unforgivable.
He wants us to trust Him and hold His hand during this bump in the road. The bump in the road will pass but the wisdom you gain will last!
  

Geocaching

So if you've never heard of geocaching before, you probably have no idea what it is. Let me tell you, it's basically every adventurer's dream - a huge scavenger hunt! You download the app and make a free account. Once your logged in, you should see a map with dots. Those dots are geocaches! You can go on a hunt to find these geocaches! Once you find one, there should be a log where you can record your name! When you're done, put it back so other people can find it! If I'm not making much sense (which I'm probably not lol) check out this video!

First Eno Experience

I am so excited to share my first eno experience with y'all! I had my last day of high school on Friday, and afterwards, we adventured to our local park. My friend has an eno so we set it up between two branches and enjoyed the beautiful day. I had so much fun, and I enjoyed every bit of the eno hammock! It brought us close together and allowed us to bond and grow closer. This is our last summer together so it's important to cherish the time we have left together. I can't believe my high school experience is over, but I am excited to see what God has for me next!
