pictures galore

hi all. here are some photos of my spring vacation (i promise i didn't just stay in a car..by the rear view mirrors it would look like it..i just spent time with family and friends and never pulled out my camera on vacation) :) i'm really sorry about being absent but life has been very busy. i am working on a blogpost slowly but surely but in the meantime i thought i would share some of my photos :) may you all stay strong in the Lord and be positive. 

i promise i will write soon (soon as in hopefully before summer) 

bye bye 2017

1 day left. 1 day!! How has a year just completely flown by??! It is absolutely crazy...just wow. Gone in the blink of an eye..*phew*

And its only going to get faster 

2017 has been absolutely amazing. My mind has been blown with what has happened in my life in only 12 short months. God has truly blessed me this year. blessed. 

Okay, well before I keep rambling..this year I discovered a book of 500 writing prompts!! It is really nice for conversation starters and just thought provoking questions..

The one I opened to last week was: Name 5 things you learned this year. Were they beneficial? 

I learned so many things in 2017 but I will stick to five. And every one of them was beneficial and have changed how I have look at things now :)

when you can't 
seem to get 
past 
the basics
memories of old
sins keep showing 
up on your doorstep. 
the hate for yourself 
is stifling.
constantly comparing you 
to others 
all the while 
listening to the devil
but there's more
to it you know, a 
grace bigger than you 
could ever show.
but first you have to take all the 
thoughts from hell 
& let them go.
.
. 
just some thoughts from a while ago
