Confidence

Follow me

I’m sure you are all sick of hearing about this, but oh well.

With the end of college only two weeks away, I have been reflecting a lot over the past four years and what they have meant to me and all I’ve learned and all I have done.

Looking back, I feel like I have found my confidence. In high school I was so insecure I didn’t even know it. College has grown me. I guess because I took the long hair don’t care attitude to heart and wasn’t going to try to make people like me, like the typ people pleaser I am. If you like me you like me, if not.. I’m sorry not sorry???

I’ve learned I’m not going to be something I’m not.

and in doing so, I’ve made great friends who like me for me and not because I’m putting on a good show. I am comfortable in my own skin and I think I’m a pretty great person. I feel like I am this way now bc I challenged myself and stepped out of my comfort zone in college.

Take risks and do things you typically wouldn’t.

XOXO,

What I Learned In College

Follow me

College is the best 4 years, don’t let anyone tell you differently either.

It’s a time of freedom but also good structure. lol I sound so old.

College has deff had it’s ups and downs and I’ve learned a lot, but I wouldn’t change it for a second. Here are some things College has taught me.

1. Grades do not define you.
I was crazy about my grades in high school and they honestly defined me, or so I thought. Even though I have definitely stressed out too much and worried too much in college, I honestly didn’t as much as I used to. Throughout college, I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket if that makes sense. I put some in school, some in church, some in my sorority, some in friends and some in work. I am so thankful I didn’t spend everyday in the lib. I got to do a lot of things, which sometimes wore me out, but I’m very thankful I didn’t go crazy about grades all 4 years.

2. Take care of you.
This is something I used to be so terrible at, and I am slowly getting better. Sometimes I just need to take a step back and stop trying to do everything. It’s okay to stay in sometimes and say no to opportunities if it is going to better myself in the long run.

3. Don’t go boy hunting.
LOL u know what I mean. I’ve seen so many ppl in my life that are constantly hunting for the next boy. It breaks my heart. Throughout college I honestly put boys on the back burner and put maybe 1/2 an egg in that basket lolz. Don’t go looking to find a boy, the right one will find you when it’s time. Ya I haven’t found my time yet, but it’ll come at some point if that’s what God wants for me. I spent college hanging with pals and making some great friends that I made great mems with. I wouldn’t trade these past 4 years with my pals for nuthin.

4. Invest in church.
Being involved in a church has always been important to me and something I have always done throughout my life. I believe in the church and what it stands for. Throughout college, I got involved in a church that I have seen God move in so much. I’m thankful for the serving opportunities, pals and all the investment ppl have made in me these past 4 years through church.

5. Follow Your Dreams.
Cheesy and cliche.
Everyone has a different path lined out for them, no one’s is the same. Don’t feel pressure to do certain things bc that’s what someone else’s plan is. Do you and follow your dreams. Don’t let anyone stop you. Yeah you’ll have setback but just do what you love. Mine is blogging and shopping and helping ppl. I know it’s my dream in life and I’m going to make it happen.

XOXO,

Faith Over Fear

Follow me

Hello palz. Hope you’re all having a fab Thursday!!! I typically like to post what God is teaching me in different areas of my life from time to time. I do this to share and help others who could be dealing with similar situations and I also do it because it’s fun for me to look back on and see all He has done.

The past few months, I have been in this state of fear. Fear had been controlling my life. It was giving me anxiety and seemed to be the only thing I thought about. For me right now, my fear is all about the future. Finding a job, knowing where I’m going to live, being able to financially support myself and my dreams, having a stable job to grow in, be in a city I love, surrounded by people I love.

I still don’t have any of those things figured out for the next few months, but I do have much less fear about it.

I about two weeks ago I had just had enough. I was tired of feeling scared and anxious about the unknown future. I serve at the student ministry at my church and before service our student pastor asked us to raise our hands if we wanted God to move that night.

I raised my hand.

+ boy oh boy did the Lord move!

The message was about making bold moves, living in freedom and trusting God’s provisions for our lives and it honestly rocked my world.

I absolutely sobbed the entire service.

It was incredible and so freeing.

I could feel the weight of fear lifted as I just gave the future to God and told Him it’s His, not mine.

When you ask God to move, He’s going to.

He is going to change your heart and He is going to do it in His time.

Ever since, I have had such peace about graduating and being unemployed bc it’s what He wants.

My path might look different from the typ college graduate, but His plan is far greater than mine.

…

What has the Lord been teaching you recently??

XOXO,
