God

A struggle of mine

Something I struggle with: trying to constantly please people. I guess my problem is that I constantly look for love and validation from people. Nothing is wrong with wanting to be loved but I recently realized something.

No one on this earth can love me like God does. No one. 

I shouldn’t expect/look to others to love me the way God does. It will never end well because humans are flawed and God isn’t. Duh. Not expecting my parents or boyfriend or friends to love me “perfectly” will take a lot of expectations that I have for them, off of them. Also, when I look to people to love me unconditionally and perfectly, it is almost like “snubbing” God and saying that I don’t trust Him to love me the way I know He does.

I know it will be a process to detract myself from this habit but I made this realization and I just had to share it. I hope I made some sense 🙂

Yaaaaaay I am loved. 100%. Unconditionally.

3 years!

Monday October 3rd will mark 3 years of dating Jimmy!

I’m so happy to have been with such an awesome guy for the past 3 years and I can honestly say that Jimmy is my best friend in so many ways. I love that I can tell him anything without judgement and he is always there for me. We’ve had some fun times (traveling to NY and FL together) and some crazy times (getting bit by a horse and getting in a car accident) but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I hope God blesses us with many more years together and I’m so thankful for a great Christian boy 🙂

I love you Jimmy!
