Over-thinking, reacting.

Suddenly, I only think of myself.
I'm struggling and no one is there to help.
I feel everything important to me slowly slipping through my fingers.
I feel sorry for myself.
I've taken my eye off the prize, yet I don't care.
I've got so many great things but they're not good enough.
My life can drastically change for the better or for the worse in just a few months.
Selfishness has gotten the best of me and I hope to get it back soon. Pin It Now!

When it's late...

When it's late I get to thinking.

Thinking about how things can change so drastically.

Three years ago I was in the seventh grade loving every minute of my life.

At the time everything was perfect.

So much was missing that I didn't know, so I didn't care. 

Three years ago I was thinking about how amazing high school was going to be,

how great it was going to feel to be a little more FREE.

But, so much changed.

In those three years I found God, my father was temporarily taken away from us, relationships formed, were broken.

Things never turn out the way you plan them.

Three years ago I imagined myself living the same life, but better.

Because change is always happening, you don't even realize it until you look at how things used to be. 

Three years ago, I couldn't imagine a day without wishing my parents a goodnight.

But, things change. 

Although this change isn't permanent, I want a better change to come along.

Soon. 

But until then, I remind myself as much as I can "change is always happening."

God sends us struggle to make us stronger.

What Truly Matters

A painting I did after reading this wonderful quote on pinterest.

Romans 5:8

You are loved more than you will ever know by someone who died to know you.

I believe this is the MOST important thing for everyone in this world to know.

Jesus Christ thrives to know us and to be with us. 

Despite the constant complaining, I thank Him each and every day for allowing me to know him and for his many blessings.

Amaris Nayeli. Anahi Malanie. Aleynna Madaly. 

These beautiful girls can light up a room with just a smile. 

They have a way of comforting you when no one else can.

Do they drive me crazy?.. Ooh yeah. 

But I wouldn't trade them for the world. 

Cristina, thank you for making these little rays of sunshine.

They are gorgeous girls with hearts of gold. 

Love them so much & I wish the best for them.

Who I Am Now

I am young.

According to my age and everyone else of course, I am young.

But I believe my view of the world and how it works is so mature.

One day I hope to change the world and make a difference.

Make a huge impact.

But that's "one day".. In the future.

For now, I'm going to enjoy my youth.

Live loud. Follow God & Be the best person I can be.

My Purity Ring. A commitment to myself & God to remain pure until marriage. Many people think it's stupid to have to wear a ring to prove your commitment, but it's a great way to remind you how much God loves you & how important you are to him.
