Sunday Morning Meditation

my favorite things to do on a sunday is eat, go to church and reflect...its my mediation day! I like to zone out, chill out, and focus on me. I think its good if we all take time for ourselves...the "me" time is something everyone needs. I like to go for a walk on the beach on sundays, by myself. maybe its because I'm single again or that I don't have a lot of friends, but walking by myself on the beach has helped me connect to God in a different way than church. I love church, I love hearing the word of God in the Gospels but when I'm walking on the beach, surrounded by everything God created, it just really broadens my mind.

the world is bigger than the latest makeup palette, the world is bigger than you and your significant other, the world is bigger than anything. bummed about your job? stressed out over finances? unhappy in a relationship? I advise you all to get on your knees and pray. Believe in SOMETHING. as I look out onto the ocean, I can't imagine how anyone thinks God does NOT exist. how did these beautiful waves come to be? How did these rocks and mountains form so majestically? How did I even get here? even scientists will tell you, science can not be complete without faith.

I think I'm getting too deep even inside my own head...

I guess the point of this blog is to encourage you all to reflect on what matters in life. I prayed three times today already just searching for direction, purpose, and a path. I want to do more, I want to be better. I reflect on this past week. Alot has happened in my life this past week. I'm dealing with a few stalking situations, had to get extra security which makes me feel like I'm in a prison a little, mending a broken heart, missing my family, and considering a new job...its a bit overwhelming to be honest...but I know I will get through it all because I've never NOT gotten through tough times.

think about it.....what are some of the toughest times you've gone through in life??? are you still here today? are you stronger because of it? are you more connected to God as a result of it???

I know I say yes. there were times in my life as a teenager, where I thought NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO GET BETTER, and even when I thought negative, God did a positive for me and pulled me through. He has pulled me through alot, and thankfully for me, and all of us, He is not going anywhere.....

even though I don't see the footprints in the sand next to me...I can feel Jesus walking on the beach with me. it just sends rays of happiness through my body.

I love you all and I hope you take time to reflect on the week, prepare for the upcoming days, and give thanks to God.

please don't forget to thank God because he didn't forget to wake you up this morning.

stay blessed
