Pray like Jesus

Happy Thursday! :)

So last night, I joined Weight Watchers! Interesting, huh? I'm so stoked to get on the right track to being healthy! Also, I feel as if I will have a better overall mindset and outlook on life! It is quite a process to get everything in order, but I'm so excited to start following the WW plan!

Day 2..of grabbing the reins! :) This morning, I read an article on how to pray like Jesus. Check it out--> http://www.theresurgence.com/2009/11/03/pray-like-jesus I love to learn more and more about Jesus! Sometimes in this world we can feel insignificant. But EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US IS IMPORTANT. We can't forget that. I know some things in my life lately have made me feel like I'm not worth it or important. And taking a step back from the situation I can grasp: that is rubbish! Do not let someone make you feel like you don't matter...because you absolutely do! In moments where I feel that way...its the perfect opportunity to cry to God & to lean on Him. This is one of the main reasons He created us. He longs for a loving, honest, fatherly relationship with us. And I know in my heart I long for Him as well. God is always listening. He hears our prayers, just as he heard Jesus. Whether your problem is big or small, he is there to listen to it all. And He loves us more than we could ever imagine! How amazing. :)

"Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." 1 Peter 5:7

well hey there, strangers!

Why hello there!

It's been over a year since my last post. I want to get into writing on here more often. I definitely think blogging is a great way to communicate to yourself and to others around you. Here goes nothing... Life's been a little hectic lately to say the least. I've definitely pushed some things to the back burner....nonchalantly. God just so happened to be one of them. I always seem to busy or caught up in my day to day tasks. As a result, I have been neglecting God, and my relationship with Him. I often wonder why things seem to be going wrong more than they go right. I've come to the conclusion its because God isn't my main priority. So from here on out, I'm devoting my life to Him. Life isn't easy, thats a fact. I'm just thankful that I have a savior who I know will be there for me...through the good times and bad. I just pray that I can open my heart up to God, and be honest with myself. It is going to take commitment on my part, but I'm ready to take the reins back and devote it ALL to Him. I hope this is motivation, so maybe you can devote more of an effort and time as well..."Let go and let God!" :)
