Ok, most of us started the year with great goals and a desire to change bad habits and develop healthier ones. January is almost gone! And all I can think of is if I have taken steps towards those goals I set for myself.⠀ -⠀ Truthfully, I have. However, not as much as I thought I would. The primary goals I set for myself this year are:⠀ ⠀ • be more intentional with my vision for the future⠀ • humble myself ⠀ • show more gratitude⠀ ⠀ I’ll be honest, I’ve only taken steps towards the 2nd and 3rd bullet points. Humbling myself and showing more gratitude. As I continue to reflect, I asked myself why I haven’t taken steps towards the first goal. ⠀ -⠀ Time, Energy & Prayer. ⠀ That’s why!⠀ That’s the one goal that takes the most time, the most energy and constant prayer.⠀ -⠀ Ya’ll, that can be so difficult! At least for me. It’s easier and more convenient to get the little things out of the way first. The things that don’t require so much time, so much energy and so much prayer.⠀ -⠀ Nonetheless, those are the things we need to focus on the most! Those are the things that will affect our future!⠀ -⠀ If we continue to put aside the things that require the most work, we will NEVER reach or tap into our greatest potential.⠀ -⠀ What goals did you establish for yourself this year that you have yet to tend to?⠀ -⠀ January is not over yet! Let’s be intentional about moving forward with those bigger/scarier/worth the struggle goals!⠀ -⠀ We can do it! ⠀ - - - #EmbraceYourJourney #GirlRiseUp #Goals #NewYear #Purpose #Destiny #LifeStyle #Blog #Blogger #PersonalBlog #2019 #Trust #Faith #Believe #ThrowBackThursday #Tbt
PRAYER❤️⠀ -⠀ Without it, we have no sense of direction.⠀ -⠀ Have you felt distressed before?⠀ -⠀ To the point where you have already tried everything in your reach to make your situation better.⠀ -⠀ You have talked to everyone about it except to God. Maybe you find yourself broken and experiencing pain, anxiety, or sorrow.⠀ -⠀ Let me remind you that prayer is powerful!⠀ -⠀ “In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will not fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.” Psalms 118:5-8⠀ -⠀ Pray to the Lord and he will answer you and set you free from your distress!⠀ -⠀ God has not abandoned you. Often times it is us who forget to acknowledge his presence in the middle of our distress.⠀ -⠀ God is for you and he will help you if you simply make time to pray to him in the middle of your distress.⠀ ⠀ Much love,⠀ Crystal - - - #EmbraceYourJourney #Faith #Trust #Believe #Truth #Prayer #Pray #Blog #PersonalBlog #Blogger #LifeStyle #change

“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:7-10‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) - We all have roots within us. People may refer to our roots as our ancestry. The place and a people we come from or originated from. Although this is true, I believe Colossians 2:7 is referring to the roots of our heart and mind. - Yes, we have roots within us that require fertile soil in order to provide life. - Trees, plants, and flowers depend on their roots for fruition. If their environment is not fertile or in good condition to yield life, the tree, plant, and flower will eventually die. - Similarly, if the roots of our heart and mind are not rooted in God’s absolute truth, we risk dying spiritually. - Our lives depend and are built on the roots of our heart and mind. - If our roots are rooted in other people’s thoughts and opinions or anything else that is not Christ-centered, we are NOT letting our lives be built on Him. - We are letting our lives be built on lies! As a result, our faith decreases rather than increasing. - Let’s guard our heart and mind by staying rooted in God’s Word and truth! People will share their own thoughts and opinions about life and circumstances, but at the end of it all, God’s truth remains true and our lives should bloom from the roots of a pure heart and renewed mind. - - Tag a friend who needs some encouragement. - - #EmbraceYourJourney #Blog #Blogger #PersonalBlog #LifeStyle #Faith #Believe #Roots #Heart #Mind #Truth #Life #Growth #Fruit
Bestie appreciation post⤵️ This girl is more than just a friend. She’s a sister, a big sister to be exact. She builds me up with every word that comes from her mouth. She reminds me of my purpose and always encourages me to pursue God’s calling over my life. And I enjoy doing the same for her! - I’m beyond blessed by her friendship and grateful for her and each of my friends that do the same! - Cultivate those friendships that speak life over you and believe in God’s plans for your life! - - - #Bestie #Friends #Sisters #Friendships #Lifestyle #Saturday #EmbraceYourJourney #Intentional #Life #Blog #Blogger #PersonalBlog #Keeper #LifeLongFriends
