Hummus, Peach Salsa, and Old Navy Yoga Capris. All these things are a must have in my life :)

Our Inner Voice

Often times we get so frustrated with God because we continually pray and ask Him to guide us, to give us answers and to give us hope. We feel as though if He doesn't answer us right away or doesn't give us a "sign" showing that everything is going to work out, that He has forgotten about us, or is just not giving us what we ask for. What we don't realize is that the inner voice that we all have is God speaking to us. We shut it out and then wonder why God isn't there the second we need him. When in all reality he has never left us. We need to slow down and listen to our heart and what God is trying to say to us. We lack confidence, and self esteem to the point where if we were to hear the voice within us we wouldn't pay attention to it much less believe it. We turn everywhere else for advice and it breaks God's heart that we tune him out and turn elsewhere for our answers. The answers are deep within us. Sit back, take some time for yourself and listen to what your inner voice has to say, you might be surprised.

Things that make my heart sing:
Toms
Redeeming Love
Big tshirts
Starbucks white chocolate mocha
Baseball games
My man :)
lazy days with girlfriends
YoungLife
Taking pictures
&& last put not least (for sure not least!) cupcakes

"I promise to never leave you"

I have recently been lured into exploring other people's blogs and it amazes me how talented God has made each and every one of us. Often times (I know for me at least) we feel as though we could just go ahead and figure out what it is that God wants us to do while we are here on this Earth. What our "gift" is and how we are supposed to use it. It can be very frustrating at times, one of those times being in the middle of transition. I am currently dealing with transition as we speak. I am at a new school, training to be a YL leader and in the midst of getting used to everything. I am surrounded by people that I do not know and trying to figure out a way to introduce myself with out being extremely creepy. Through all of this I know that I have at the bare minimum, God! "...and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age". Matthew 28:20 A constant reminder for me that He is always with me is the sky. Here are some shots that I have taken (and edited a little :) )

Photography.

I purchased my first DSLR Nikon camera in March and have been obsessed with it ever since. I took it to Colorado with me and captured just a few pictures of the gorgeous scenery out west. I eventually want to take a class on photography and learn more about taking unique pictures. Here are a few that I have recently taken.
