"He’s not mad at you, He’s mad about you."

The world may forget your name, in fact, they may not even know it but God will never let go of it. He’s had it in His heart since the dawn of time. He loves you no matter what. Despite everything, He loves you - always has and always will.

I just encourage you to watch this video. It’s an awesome feeling to come away with KNOWING that you are loved and cared for. That no matter what we have done or the mistakes we will make, there is grace, mercy, love, and redemption at the cross on which Jesus died for us on. No other feeling will EVER compare nor will they ever. No other thing will ever come close to the level of truth in His love for us. Hear it, know it, feel it; Jesus loves you.

Spoken Word

My new-found love for spoken word brought me to these videos. The words were gorgeously and articulately written and I commend them for having the boldness to stand before so many viewers to speak on their truth, stories, and views.
Take a few moments to watch them. They may not be your exact story but maybe you can relate to one or get advice from another. Anyway, here they are.

Ihe Neme (Things Are Happening)

  • You’re thinking of plans on how to entertain the kids.
  • Setting your alarm clock for an  earlier time to squeeze more things on your schedule.
  • Considering how your currently terrible situation can be used as a testimony.
  • Praying for others more than you pray for yourself.
  • Writing down a reminder to buy thank you cards for the volunteer workers.
  • Learning that the choosing your battles have become a part of your nature.
  • Seeing the cool in what you’re even 2-years-younger self would have found embarrassing.
  • Making a little extra dinner for your roommate out of want rather than obligation
  • Simply deciding not to get a manicure because you’re on dish duty the next day and you’re okay with it.
  • Calling your relatives because they would like to talk to you even though the feeling may not be fully mutual.
  • Finding joy in eating alone once in a while rather than fearing it.

Call it whatever you wish, maturity, growing up, life, what have you. All I know is that it is here and although I didn’t even know when it hit realizing how it has slowly altered my everyday actions has made me more appreciative of the life given me.
