Daughter of the King

Yesterday was a day for affirmation for me. I can't tell you enough how God has blessed me. Id like to encourage my friends to sit back and really think through your own blessings. We are all children of the King. Number one blessing. When you really start to process and link events in your life together a level of thankfulness comes with it that you may not have in your everyday. Being thankful is so important, something my mother has engraved in me for a really long time. When we are thankful we stay humble. On days that I am lost, overwhelmed, or anxious I have to remind myself to be thankful and to be thankful for the knowledge that God will see me through that bad day as well. It is our privilege to be able to do that because we are his children. How awesome. I don't think anyone knows the true unconditional love that God has for us because as worldly humans... we sin. We aren't pure like Jesus. We strive to be. But I think that the unconditional love described by Jesus is far more than what we can imagine. Think about it... he loves you when you sin. He loves you when you turn away. He loves you when you are sad. He loves you when you are anxious. He loves you when you doubt.... and so many more. How many people can you count on your hands that can do that on a every day basis without ever questioning.

God is good. You can't deny it.

I am thankful I am a daughter of the King.

Happy New Year-New You

Happy New Years Eve Friends! How blessed I am to see this year come to a end. I am so thankful for everything that I have learned and experienced and am looking forward to the new year of 2014! God has been so good to me in so many ways and one of the things I wanted to start sharing is how great Gods love for us is and how important it is for us to love Him and seek Him. That is where the title to this blog comes from. Proverbs 8:17- I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. It is a beautiful verse and a constant reminder that Gods love never fails and that He is always loving us. I pray that through this next year I will stay committed to this blog and sharing Gods love to others and make this a place where people can read, watch, give their own stories, and be encouraged.

As a new 2014 project, I am joining with www.aloveperfect.com "The Prayer Project" for the month of January. I would love for you guys to join me on this prayer journey. So many things can happen when you pray. My prayer for myself- through praying for someone else in my life, is that my personal prayer life will be impacted and that I will grow closer to God in a very intimate way. So many days I forget about the importance of prayer and it is certainly something that I lack on. I am committing to this and be prayerful with me that I will stay true to what God has laid on my heart to do and say.
