Just An Update
Hey guys.
So, I am going to be taking a little break from blogging for a little while. I need to figure some things out with myself before I publicly start posting and make myself a hypocrite. I am going to be trying to find myself and get to the place that I need to be. I don't know when I will be back, but keep looking out for any posts.
God bless!!

Guard You Mind
"[Television] poisons the minds of our young people...with destructive messages of casual violence and even more casual sex."
-Bob Dole (former Senator and Republican presidential candidate)
Oh gosh! Is that not true?! Television influences us more than we wanna think about. Just like everything else we see. It's sad, but so true.
We are an influential species. We do what we see. He say what we hear. It's just how it has been since we were babies. It's in our blood.
But there are things in life that we should not listen to or follow after. For instance, when you see someone kill someone on a show, yeah, you might get some adrenaline going and all, but it does not mean you should go and kill someone. Well, duh! But it gets in our head and we can get violent because of things we have seen on TV. Not to the point of killing, but we might hit or punch or something along the lines. TV makes it seem like violence is okay and normal. Guys! It's not unless it's for defense purposes.
Then you do have the casual sex. So freaking much! A guy takes a girl out for a date and then he walks her to her house. He says bye and then she stops him and gives him "the look" and he goes in after her. It wont show anything, but you know exactly what is happening in there. Then you have other shows (or movies) of teenage girl hanging out with the guy. They are making out and then the next thing you know, they are on the bed. She has her shirt off and he's got his off. Then he takes off his pants and her pants and they go for it.
Holy crap! No wonder this generation and the ones after are going off and getting pregnant and getting themselves STDs and all. Not because they "don't wear protection" but because they are having sex. They see it on TV and think that it's okay (even though they are sneaking around with it).
So, why watch stuff like that if you are going to get influenced? Why not watch things that will influence you in other ways? I mean, if it is truly influencing you in those ways, why keep watching them unless you want to be considered violent or a whore?
But I'm not in charge of what you do. I mean, I watch stuff like that also. Not gonna lie. And I should definitely think about what I am putting into my mind more than I do. You can do whatever you want though, but just think about what it does to you.
God bless!!

Scars
Five years ago I had started cutting myself. I was feeling low and lifeless. I was feeling broken and unloved. I just wasn't feeling anything good. I felt numb to things on the outside and on the inside I was dying. So, I decided that I wanted to feel something on the outside.
Not only that, but I felt like my parents were controlling everything in my life. I had no freedom. I couldn't have space away from my parents because I was under their watch 24/7. I could not stand feeling like I was trapped and had no control over anything. So, I started to feel like I had control over something because no one would be able to stop me from cutting.
What did it do though? Did it help me at all? Did it change the situation?
It did nothing, but give me scars. I mean, yeah, it felt "good" for the time being, but it wasn't doing anything. It didn't come close to helping me, just wounding me even more. It changed the situation for sure! For the worst. I got even lower and felt like everything was going to get worse. I didn't see anything good coming from the situation.I just kept making myself worse physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I was getting low.
I quit cutting about half a year ago. And it has opened my eyes. I aint as low as I used to be and I can live life without being depressed.
Guys. Harming yourself doesn't help at all. You can't hurt the temple that God made. You are God's and He doesn't want you to destroy yourself. So, instead get some help and talk to someone. Pray to God and poor out your heart on how you feel and what is happening in life.
That's it for tonight, y'all.
God bless!!

The Struggle (Personal)
Posting a little earlier than usual, but I felt like I wouldn't post if I did it the usual time.
This post, I just want to be honest with y'all.
Right now, I have been struggling with three different things in my life. One of these things I have struggled with since elementary school, another since 8th grade, and the last has been a recent thing. They are so difficult to control and it's hard to not fall for me.
The point of me bringing this up is to let you guys know that even as I do this blog, I am not perfect and I fail at things all the time. I mess up and have temptations arise and I struggle with different things. So, I am just like you. I have my oh so many struggles that can be hard to handle.
So, like I've said before, this blog is for me as much as it is for you guys. I need help in my life with all the junk in my life also. I can't do things on my own and need that support and encouragement.
That's all for today. Just wanted y'all to know that I don't do this blog because I think I have it all together. Because I don't have it together at all and aint near to having it together. I am human. That's about it.
God bless!!

Nobody's Perfect
Ok. Hope everyone is doing well. I am back again.
So, have you ever made a mistake and regretted it after the fact? Like, you were torn up about it and didn't know how to handle it?
Well, that's good! You need to have the regret! It shows that God is pulling at your heart to let you know that something needs to change and you are noticing Him.
So, what do you do with this regret? Because sometimes you really don't know what to do.
First, go to God and lay the regret at His feet. Admit that you have done something wrong and ask Him to help you and forgive you. Second, forgive yourself and get into your mind that you don't want to make that mistake again because it will suck so much more when it happens again. Third, talk to someone like a friend that will not judge you for it because you are going to need accountability. Fourth, talk to an older adult that you trust and let them help lead you the right way and keep you accountable. Lastly, don't just make a plan to change, but take the first steps in changing.
Now, not saying that you wont trip or fall sometimes, but it does not mean you just stay down and mope around. You need to get back up and keep going. If you trip or fall, it just shows that you were moving towards the goal and you are closer than before. So, keep getting closer and don't give up even if you have to crawl part of the way. As long as you are moving, you are doing great.
And don't forget that everyone makes mistakes too and it is not just you. You aren't alone in this, guys! So, don't fret with that. But don't use that as excuse to keep making the same mistake because many people will get into their heads "Oh, it's okay and no big deal since I'm not the only one making this mistake." Oh my gosh! Heck to the no! You are your own person and should not be doing something because of someone else! And it's not okay to keep making the same mistake and it's a huge deal if you keep doing it on purpose! You need to change and get on the right path!
You can do it, my friends! Listen to the regret and get on the right path with the help of God and others! And don't give up!
God bless!!

Godly Influence
Took another nice long break again for the weekend! It was great! And I'm back again.
So, what godly women are in your life? Who do you see as a godly woman? And why would you say that she is a godly woman?
Everyone needs godly women in their lives. It helps a girl to grow spiritually if she has that influence in her life. We as young women need godly women (at least one older) to help us develop and grow the relationship with God and to be able to become great godly women as well.
I personally have one godly woman that is older that I talk to on a weekly basis and many friends that are some of the most godly women I know. They encourage me in my walk with God and show me what it looks like to be what God's wants.
I encourage you to get those godly women in your life.
God bless!!
