Busy + Busy = Stress!?!

-

 Life is so busy! Everyday I seem to have something going on and I just get stressed sometimes. When I get stressed I really seem to loose my sight on God. I start becoming a grumpy jerk that no one wants to hang out with. I just keep snapping at people for reasons that aren't needed.

I need peace. I think the most effective way to get this extremely needed peace in time with God. If you just take a little time out of our day to pray this can bring you strength and peace. God is willing to take you in his hand and literally willing to let all you stress on him!

Last night I was planning some stuff last minute. I needed to change my ballet teaching day to Thursday instead of Friday. Because on Friday I needed to have to friends over to practice a presentation that was due in like 10 with me (we had only practiced 1 time together). I was texting people left and right to see what was going to work for them. The next day I had babysitting for like 10 kids ages ranging from 1-9. And lastly after that I was going to have Passover with my family at like 8:00!!!!!!!!! 

I went to bed that night having so much on my mind. While I was laying there I just had the thought...Why don't I just pray about all this stuff. While I started praying I felt like God was really there and I had some awesome PEACE! To be honest I actually fell asleep during prayer...That happens to me very often. I was so peaceful I just fell asleep, but if I hadn't prayed who knew I probably would have been restless all night thinking about plans.

Lets take some time out of our BUSY lives to pray and talk to Jesus, because he is that peace we need.

    I found this very relatable! It was just last night in fact that I was thinking about the same thing! That I can't seem to get on top of my to-do list, and I really just need to take a step back from my busy life and spend time with my Father! So this was very encouraging, thanks for writing Noel!

Best Friends?

 Best Friends? Do they actually exist, someone who is always there for you and never leaves? Well, I know how it is to loose a best friend. I'm guessing a lot of you have had the same experience. This happened to me very recently and I wanted to share some of my struggles and victories with y'all! My friend was a funny, loving, and super cool person. We had been BFF's for like 5 years. But all of a sudden one day I noticed we seemed distant from each other. I didn't feel like I could be myself around her anymore. I had recently during covid19 switched church's and I left the one she went to. I barely saw her very much, but I still thought of her as a best friend. I finally started seeing her more often and I noticed her and this other girl and her were like the "new thing". I was determined to win her back. I tried. I failed. I hadn't noticed how much I had changed, how much she had changed. We really didn't click anymore. So I decided I needed to

My Testimony

I was baptized at age 7 and I really believed that I wanted God in my life. But I don't think that I actually knew what giving my all was. I sadly drifted from God when I was older. From age 10-around 12 I found myself caught in a horrible sin. I was looking at pornography and I knew it was wrong, and I didn't care. My heart felt so heavy and dark. Like literally dark. I hated how I felt. But if I told anyone I knew I was going to be so in trouble. The first time I looked at it my parents found out. My mom talked to me and I really was sad and wanted to change. I repented and went back on with life. My mom was so gentle with what I had done. And I was really surprised. But I'm not sure how much longer it was but I started looking at it again. This time I told my parents, and I repented. After that time in my life I started noticing what a sinful life I was living. I told my parents, siblings, friends, the bad big and little things I had done wrong. I was truly c

Comfort the Hurting

  You are going to have those times in you life when someone close to you gets hurt emotionally or physically. It could be a friend break up with a boyfriend, someone has a miscarriage, loss of a loved one etc. I've had multiple of these happen to people I know, and sometimes I just don't know what to say, act, or do. But I found some great things that help me to comfort people in a great, loving, and caring way. Listening. Yep, that is hard a lot of times. You want to tell them what they did wrong or someone else did wrong, or just give them some plain old advice. Well advice and correction come in time. First you listen. Listening can be one of the best ways to support your hurting friend. Just to be their, sit with them, listen to them, and comfort them. Identify with them. Sometimes you think that, wow, Kathy is like crying about that stupid boyfriend she had and he was like a jerk and a bum. Well, that's a bit harsh. You need to imagine yourself in their shoes. They ha
