Stress filled Ramblings


Hey Ladies!

So I'm going to speak straight from my heart today, with little filter and even less time crafting a well thought out message. This is the nitty gritty real stuff that I was talking about, and I can't promise it's going to be pretty.

The past couple weeks have been a little rough on ya girl, if we're being honest. I'm not sure whether its a change in temperature, exams fast approaching, or what, but I and seemingly everyone else on campus has gotten a bad case of 'everything is crashing down around me'itis. And because of that, I and seemingly everyone else on campus has gotten a little grumpy, a little sad, and a little stressed out.

This is the message I needed to hear this week.

Dear my love,

I know you are going through a hard time, I can see you trying to keep it all together and follow my will, I can see you struggling. Little one, please know I am not angry with you, please know that these struggles are not a punishment for wrong doing. Please know that my heart aches that you are going through this.
Precious one, don't you see? Sometimes you have to struggle. See how close you and I are becoming since you started struggling? I just wanted my child near me. My child, I know you don't feel strong enough for this storm, but lean on me because I am. You can do all things through me, and you will get through this through me.
I see my other children struggling as well. I see your friends and their friends and everyone on campus and their struggles. Give grace, my child, you don't know what they're going through. This is a time for you to show me. Be patient and kind and gentle when the world says be quick and rude and rough. Love when they aren't showing love to you, don't stop caring because you feel alone. I made you to be more than this world, little one. Remember your purpose.
I will carry you through this, my precious little one, and I love you with all of my being.

Love, 
God

Things I wish I would have known on my Freshman Move In Day

Freshman move in is perhaps one of the biggest life events you will have gone through thus far. It signifies you are no longer a child and can be (mostly) trusted to live (mostly) on your own. It's a big deal. Which means it's also a lot of stress. Now, I am a planner in any and every sense of the word so I read countless articles on move in days and watched waaay too many move in day videos on YouTube. I was ready. Except I wasn't. So here are 6 things I wish I would have known about my Freshman Move In Day 1. There are A Lot of People  I mean, I guess I should have figured that, but I wasn't prepared for just how many people would be moving in all at once in my building. I go to a pretty small private school so I wasn't prepared for how many people would be walking in and out at once to bring their stuff in. Please realize that the entirety of your freshman class is moving in pretty much all at once. Be prepared for crowded lobbies, lines for the stairs,...

It's okay if you aren't okay

I'm the oldest of seven in my house. That means I had a lot of responsibility very young, and I took it willingly. I've always been my siblings second mom, and my mom's right hand woman. I've always been "practically in charge" and knew more about our family's schedule than the planner. I've always been okay. But, there became a time when I wasn't okay. At all. And all I did about it was I hid the fact that I was very much not okay. To my stressed out heart it seemed easier to hide the problem than face the fact that the perfect child I so longed to be, the steady hand I'd worked so hard to become could fall around me. This did nothing to fix the problem, if anything, it made the problem worse. Ladies, you don't have to be perfect. You are not capable of being perfect. Don't expect a standard from yourself that isn't attainable. I guess what I'm saying is, it's okay if you aren't okay. It's taken me eig...

What I Want to Tell 16 Year Old Me About Boys

Hey lovelies! Today we're going to be doing something a little different. I've written a letter to boy crazy, over the top romantic, little naïve 16 year old me, and what better place to put it then the internet? In all seriousness though, I hope these words inspire, challenge, or encourage you as you walk and grow with yourself, others, and Christ. It's only been three years since I was sixteen, but I am a completely different person now and I am so thankful. Dear Libby, Sweet Girl, I say this with so much love but girl you need to calm the heck down. You are sixteen , my dear. I know you say you're in love, that he is the guy of your dreams, that it's only a matter of time. Sweetheart, he is not the one, I promise. I know you think he is, but he isn't. You aren't ready for love yet, Liv. We have so much growing to do before we are ready for someone other than our Heavenly Father to hold us. I know you think that boy loving you is the most importan...
