Unanswered Questions

December 8, 2016

One of the worst feelings is asking a question and getting the response "I don't know." However, I have been learning that in life, many times our answer is exactly that.

Whether those questions are asked about our careers, relationships, friends or family but not having answers can be really frustrating but you know those answers should be found?

(Cliche white girl answer coming) Those answers should be found in God. While it can be hard to listen because God isn't instant. In our world today, everything we want is at our fingertips, but God doesn't work like that and accepting that fact is so hard to accept.

Patience has not been my virtue as a young Padawan (Star Wars pun intended). However, as I have grown as an adult and Christian I have had to learn that the things I ask for may not get answers right away. While I sit and pray to God for wisdom and answers about a list of different things; right now I still don't have answers to my questions.

I thought that I would by taking matters into my own hands and guess what? I was wrong. I started asking questions that I wasn't ready to have answers to or better yet, I wasn't ready to not have answers at all.

As I always end in questions, I usually don't have answers to those questions. Today I can tell you that I still don't have answers to my questions I ask either.

Do you have unanswered questions?

xoxo,
Em

Unexpected Realizations

September 8, 2016 Yesterday, I had a conversation that I wasn't expecting to have and it went better than expected. Sometimes, you expect the worst in people and then they surprise you. Then, I realized how much a horrible person I can be by judging someone based on my emotions. (Bad life choice!) Then, I once again have a realization that pushing people out because of others isn't right but how often do we find ourselves doing it? Or how often do we justify it because of our anger and emotions? Too often, we let our emotions make our decisions instead of trying to be reasonable or logical about the situation. It can be hard to "check" ourselves when we know that we will be wrong or our actions will be. However, it can be redeeming to realize that you're wrong and move past it. While it can be awkward to have those conversations, the freedom that comes from them is unexplainable sometimes. I was wrong. Very wrong. I judged and then I realized I didn't ...

Marking Time

August 24, 2016 Have you ever been in the middle of a tunnel in life and don't know how to find a way out? I've been experiencing a lot of that lately. Not in a depression sense of my life but more in the purpose of it. (If that makes any sense). I feel as though I am marking time through life not really connecting in what I am supposed to be doing. It's a weird feeling. When we, our marching band, went to church together on Sunday the pastor was talking about relationships and three levels of connections we can have. It got me thinking about my own friendships and relationships but also about the connections of my life. What if I haven't been connecting in the ways God is calling me because I am too focused on marking time through life? I realized how much more intentional I need to be with my life. I realized how much I don't want people in my life unless they are "real" friends. So I have decided to do a life cleanse. My life cleanse just mean...

Life Without a Script

May 13, 2016 Since I have been home for the past week it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes in these roller coasters it's hard to trust that God is in control. The past few weeks my church at school was talking about "life without a script" but what does that mean? For me, it's having faith that as my story is playing out; God is in control and is the one dictating my script. (Not going to lie, it's really hard) Between a crazy family situation that is totally out of control, it makes my heart hurt. With other stress from work things with my family I'm struggling to have faith. It makes me question why do good things happen to bad people? I have to remember that Satan is running our material world. Now more than ever I have to lean into God's plan because this world is only temporary. My mom is the one who has been reminding me about that. She tells me "have faith, remember?" While I am normally the strong in God; now my mom...
