I saw this over on my friend's Liesl blog and I thought it was a beautiful idea to remember all the things you were thankful for this week. It also gives you a chance to remind yourself that good things do happen you just aren't look hard enough.

1. I got my first ever real job!

2. Today is Friday which means a 3 day weekend!!

3. Cuddles with my doggie Godiva (yes he was named after the chocolate store)

4. My birthday is in a couple of day ( May 5th is my birthday! I will be 21)

5. The weather has been warming up...hello summer dresses :)

25 Scriptures To Pray For Your Future Husband PT.2

It can be hard to slow down without feeling guilty. Especially at work or school. When I actually find the time to catch my breath or sit down for a moment I feel something pulling me to keep to doing something but it's not always a bad thing to slow down and listen to your body.

I'm not just talking about those few minutes before you fall asleep at night in your bed. I'm talking set aside a few minutes during your day to think about how you feel. Just notice how you feel and if you don't feel yourself, ask yourself how can I make myself feel good?

I am looking to appreciate the silent moments when I feel my anxiety creeping up on me.

You Have a Blog?

I personally find it so funny to hear people's answers when I tell them that I am a blogger. It is an amazing place where we can write about anything we want, meet new friends and learn from others.

I personality know that it might be hurtful and embarrassing to explain what you like to do to people, but know that you have a community here that understand and support you. At the end of the day, I am glad you know what blogging is and glad that you follow along in my little journey.

Am I Ready For A Relationship?

'There are 5 signs to show if you are actually ready for a relationship'

1. If you are looking at all the WRONG guys:

Now, this happens because your mind is already thinking 'How are I going to sabotage this relationship.' Your consistently choosing a guy that's not relationship material.

2. You need a man to feel happy:

Now, I know every one has done this before. Hey, its ok. I have too. We've all have. Your not only. Do you feel miserable when you are not coupled up?

3. You believe you can save him:

Many have this theory that they can save or change their man to become a better person but lets be real you can change a man in less they really want to change. You just may be looking for a project not a relationship. Don't try to be his therapist.

4. Your looking for someone to save you:

If you are always asking yourself '“I’m such a mess” or “Why am I so insecure sometimes?” than you need to take care of your self first before thinking about getting into a relationship. Either your attracted to him because you think he can save you.

5. Your looking for someone to complete you:

If you’re not a whole person in the beginning, the only thing you’ll be completing is a part in a completely dysfunctional relationship. Being in a relationship shouldn't complete you it should compliment you.

Overcoming Anxiety

When I was going through High School I found it hard to make simple decisions or even answering questions like "What am I doing with my life??" and "What am I going to wear today??" I felt like everyone is high school knew what they wanted to do with there life and I was the only who was undecided with what I wanted to do for the rest of there life and to be honest I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I thought picking something fun like majoring in Retail Management in college would make my college experience a little easier but it didn't. I was so overwhelmed with the fact that I knew I was making the wrong decision but looking back on it, I didn't make the wrong decision.

I still get the feeling that everyone's watching me these days. I wasn't taking care of myself, because I was so worried about other people. I was worried about what they were seeing, what they were thinking, what they were saying. I know it says in the bible that caring about people is good but caring about people that much is not.

It was an awful experience, but seeing how I've changed since then is very uplifting. I though I was always going to be this sad girl but I am not anymore I am happy. I still have bad days but you figure out how to get threw it.

There are 5 simple ways to overcome anxiety:

1. Get some rest:

It's super easy to just stay up and think about what's going on in your head but it doesn't help. So, go to sleep or take a nap and by the time you wake up you will be clearer.

2. Journal:

Just write down whatever comes to your head. However writing in your journal isn't for everyone.

3. Ask for help: I kept my issues bottled up inside of me for a long time and when it came out it got really bad things where messy. If they love you they are not going to judge you, they want to help you.

4. Stop over thinking: It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you have to do everything for everyone but your the only one you have to please.

5. You come first: Put yourself first.

Having Faith in God also helped me find myself again.

"Anxiety is the absence of faith and trust that God can handle it. And without faith, it is impossible to please God. I believe, Lord help my unbelief."

Comparing Yourself To Others?

How to notice your not acting like yourself?

You just don't feel like yourself but what you’ve been comparing yourself too.

Just remember......

You are special but maybe you don't always feel that way and in that moment you probably think there is nothing special about you.

This is true in the blogging world as well as the "real" world. It is so easy to see "bigger" bloggers and how successful they are and get discouraged about our own blog. We wonder if people even read what we are writing, if they even care, but they do care. I care.

You are special and so is your BLOG. Everyone has different strengths and different weaknesses. Have a direction for your blog. It is too easy to look at others and compare ourselves. Don't get discouraged. Everyone is different but this mades us unique.

Nobody but you have the right to dictate what you do, what you think, and what you believe in.

Stay focused and if you are feeling down or discouraged you can reach out to other bloggers for encouragement, support and advice. Take pride in the fact that your out there doing what you love. Just enjoy the ride.

Girl Talk // I Thought I Would Be Married By Now

I didn't date a whole bunch of guys through out high school because I wanted to wait till I was married to share myself with someone and being a teen with all the hormones, guys didn't want to wait. They didn't respect my decision.

After high school I went to a college. Well, being Christian we where suppose to find our husband when we enter college. Something I didn't do.

Trusting God is hard work and unfortunately I struggle with it. Whether we want to admit it or not, we don't trust God because we're stubborn. We believe our way is better.

...following the plan that God sets out for your life is so much more rewarding than anything you could ever dream up on your own. It's so true, the closer you are to His heart, the easier it is to follow.

So no matter where you are in life, just remember to be happy. Because you never know what He's going to ask you to do next.

"The List"

So, go head. Be honest. Do you have a list? You know the list I am talking about here the wish list of specifics; your personal preferences for Mr.Perfect. Some women have particulars down to height, weight and eye color. Other women have a short list on qualities they want in their future husband but how does a list define true love.

Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It doesn't not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It has not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wines out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

-1 Corinthians 13:4-7(NLT)

To be honest I never wrote down a list when I came to start dating guys. Maybe it would have been helpful if I did. The List, you created isn't about just what things will make you happy but by who would look good by your side. God's list was created to make the other half of you, so that together you make a unit.

I haven't written a list because I don't find it necessary too but if you do just be open to make changes to it over time. Your idea right now could change as God changes and transforms you.

What if your future husband made a list of all the qualities he would like in his future wife? Would you like it if he did that to you.

Day 10: Discuss Your First Love & First Kiss

My first kiss that I ever gotten from a boy that wasn't in my family was when I was 5 or 6 years old in kindergarten. I must have be an early bloomer? We were in kindergarten class and he was cute and funny. When I was in kindergarten we had mailboxes in our classroom and we got to write each other notes. I would always send him notes and he used to get so mad. I thought it was so cute; how he used to get that's why I kept putting notes in his mailbox. It didn't work out though because I was the girly girl and he was the rough and tough play in the sandbox type of guy.

In freshmen year of high school I liked his one boy but he was a junior, I thought he was so cute and funny. We only dated for a couple days before I broke it off because I found out throw kids in school that he was joining the military. I was so upset I couldn't believe he didn't tell me about what he had done. I guess he didn't tell me and wanted to wait was because I told him I would break things off with any boy that had joined the military. I know that seems harsh but I have family members in the military and I see them struggling all the time. I know that military life wasn't and isn't for me but then again I don't know what God has in store for me.

Day 9: What You Hope Your Future Will Be Like

My hope for the future will be a better life than I am living today.

By that I mean:

I want to be a successful business women working in the fashion/beauty industry.

I want to travel. A LOT!

I hope to one day live in Paris. I want to put my feet on most of what God made hear on earth.

In the future, I want to settle down in a medium sized house with a swimming pool and a big background with a vegetable garden. I want to have my own family. I want to have 3 or 4 children with my husband. I hope that my husband is happy. I hope my husband can support me with my career and our family.

I want my kids to be smart and well educated. They will learn, they will read, playing instruments and be able to swim. I will be able to give them a good education, the best clothes and a stable childhood something I never had.

But the future is unknown and I can't write my own future. If I had the opportunity to write my own future I probably would decline. I like not knowing where I am going to in 10 years or tomorrow. I love waking up everyday and being surprised with different opportunities and struggles.

5 Ways To Love Yourself

1. Stay Inspired: Being inspired helps a lot not only with blogging but eating heathy and working out. Yes, I would love to wake up on day with nice abs but thats not going to happen if I don't get inspired to do it. When your take of yourself you can build a better relationship with your friends and family. I find I am most inspired when I look on Pinterest at quotes, blog posts, and motivational books.

2. Look at Your Friends: Evaluate your friendships. Does your friend tell you what movie to see and where to go for dinner. Does she tell you what to order. Does your friend talk negatively a lot? It's amazing how negative people can change your attitude. Being negative is poison to your brain. Its's important to surround yourself with friends that value the same things as you. If you enjoy eating heathy and working out surround yourself with girls and boys that enjoy the same things as you. You will be surprised at how many things you have in common.

3. Spurge on Yourself:When you work hard go take yourself go get you nails done or go out to eat or whatever you need. No one is perfect.

4. Pray: Praying wasn't something I did all that often but as I gotten older I have realized I am starting to pray everyday. I struggle with the feeling of anxiety. Praying for a peace of mind and a rest in anxiety will help me better makes decisions.

5. Be Yourself: There is no need to pretend to be someone your not. No two people are the same. There is only one you. You only have one life here on earth. Like the JLO song Live It Up.

Friday Inspiration

For the last couple months I've been in a weird transition period since coming to the end of my college years. Searching for a "real job". Among other things starting up my blog again after months.

With the new year, I realized I needed a boost of inspiration and motivation and do the things I love. I have no idea what 2014 will have in store for me but I'm anxious, excited and nervous all at the same time to find out. Hopefully this quote will give you inspiration as well.

Blogging Lessons I Learned The Hard Way

Reply to comments: Always and I mean always reply to very single comment. The same goes for twitter and all your other social media sites. Make them feel like you notice them. If it wasn't for your followers your blog wouldn't be where it is today. You deserve to thank them.

Have your name somewhere on your blog: I can get pretty frustrated when I am looking at someone's blog and I cant find their name. Having your name on your blog is important because I feel like I can get to know you more when I know your name, that's why I moved by name into the title on my blog.

Social media: Having social media will help grow your following on your blog. Also, you can grow relationships with your followers and connect with them on a more personal level.

Make it easy to email you: When I first started blogging I used to email girls all the time to ask them questions about what camera they use or ask they where they bought there blogger template. Having your email visible is going to make emailing you so much easier.

Blogger template: If you are really considering blogging seriously, I suggest investing in a good template. I know it hard to justify spending the money at first but if you want to get your blog out there your blogger template is very important.

Be you: Its easy in the beginning to get caught up in blogging. It is a lot of work. Remember to just have fun.
