simply139

hi friends!!!
    So like I told you guys before I have a new blog. Wellllll not really "I" have. A group of friends from my church and I have made a blog. It's based off of our faith in the Lord our Father, but we do have other posts about.... stuff. ;) You'll have to check it out to find out yourself! I would really appreciate it, if  you checked it out, we've (actually all creds goes to my one friend (K) who basically made the whole thing. He's super talented!!) worked super hard on it! We have only 4 posts up now and one that I wrote is scheduled to go up tomorrow!

blog: simply139

I have to say that I will probably be more active on that blog than on this one. I'm really sorry about that, but I just like the idea of a shared blogged and getting other's opinions. It's kind of like a new book, in the series of my life. :)

I hope you are having a fabulous night/day!  Have a great rest of your week!! Remember to smile, take a deep breath, and walk in love.

XOXO

words.

WOAH 2 posts in one day! I'm probably not going to do this a lot, but I just have some stuff on my mind and I really need to get the, out before I explode.

words.
words hurt.

Whoever cam up with the saying "Sticks and stones may break me bones but words will never hurt me." needs to reevaluate their life, and if that is still true then wow can I have their life.

Words have so much power over us, they can bring us down in a matter of seconds and then the right words can build us back up. And no matter how hard you try certain words can't be erased from your memory. Words can be like a bullet straight through your heart or a soft blanket over your body. Either way words are important, and it matters how you use them. The things you say to people whether it be a little comment or a huge paragraph effect them, even if you don't think it does.

I wish I could be positive and say "Oh but it shouldn't hurt you because God is the only one that matter and His words and his judgement are the only things that should effect you." And the truth is words are gonna hurt no matter what. Whether you have the strongest faith ever, when someone says something that hurts you, it stings. But that doesn't mean that we live in that stinging feeling. It will hurt for a long time, but with the strength we can find in our Lord and Savior we can get up from that pit that the words have placed us in. We can move one, it will just take some time.

The same goes for the people that are receiving our words. The words that come out of mouth, we can never take back. We need to watch what we say and who we say it to. And no matter how much we try to make up for what we said, it's gonna take some time for that person to forgive us and move on.

People need to except that, everything takes time.
I leave you now with some quotes that I feel wrap up this entire post.
"Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out."
~Unknown
"A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words."
~Unknown
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
~Mother Teresa
"When people let you down, God will pick you up."
~Unknown
And last but not least, and probably my favorite:
"Don't worry what people think... they don't do it much."
~Unknown

New Beginnings


Hello Friends. I could go on and on about how sorry I am for not posting for literally YEARS, but to be completely honest I am not THAT sorry. I just haven't had the urge to share anything. I was kind of at a writers block/ basically a creativity drought. Lately my friends and I have been talking about starting I new blog/ Instagram page about what we are really passionate about. It got me thinking about how much I liked blogging and writing! I can't promise that I'll be super active on this page, but I hope that I will at least start posting a little. It's always good to have a creative outlet, and I feel like writing is one of mine. 

I will definitely be sharing the new blog once we actually sit down and make it, it's more of an idea floating around right now, but we are all very serious about it. I would love it if you all check it out. 

I decided to add this picture to this post because I think it has a deeper meaning.

  "We just keep on dreaming." 

The word just really stands out to me. We just dream. Nothing else. We are so used to dreaming and wishing that this and that would happen that we don't go and do it. And I understand a lot of dreams that we dream are about the future and that is a long time away. But we can start acting towards that future now. I dreamed about the simplest of things like this moment where I start blogging again, and I was constantly thinking about it. I finally looked at myself and said "WHATS STOPPING ME" and usually the answer is myself! I am constantly stopping myself from being a better me. From improving myself and being the person I want to be. This may not be the same for all of you reading this out there, but nothing should stop you from being you and doing what you dream of doing. God created each and everyone of us to hope and dream and be ourselves. With Him all of our dreams can come true. Anything is possible with Him. 

So cheers to dreaming, pursuing those dreams, and new beginnings. 

XOXO
