Love Me...Simply

This is my very first blog post and I am SUPER nervous! I have been both inspired and convinced to write out my thoughts, give advice, and tell the world the vision that God has given me for people. I prayed before I started writing and God said, " Just let it Flow." So here is my first official " flow."

First... I want to talk about what the title of this post TRULEY means! " Love Me..Simply," is what it sounds like... it is a blog about simply loving yourself.

God has called us to AMAZING things ! the bible says we have the ability to do great things.. even greater things than even JESUS did! ( John 14:12).  CRAZY AMAZING right! I am always baffled at how God made creation.. and he designed us for a special purpose! So here it is.. simple.. raw.. and real! LOVE YOURSELF!!!!! You were created for a PURPOSE! God had so much vision in mind when he was molding you in your mother's womb. So all of this crazy insecurity mess needs to GO! You are SPECIAL! Fearfully and wonderfully made ( Psalm 139:14), no one can do you like you can!

I am pretty sick and tired of seeing women who do not know their value and their worth!
You are so PRECIOUS! SO LOVED! Set a standard for yourself and LOVE YOURSELF!!!!! God makes NO MISTAKES! EVER!!!!!

Now, Do not get me wrong.. I have my days where I don't feel good enough.. pretty enough.. smart enough.. but all that is in my head! Take your thoughts to God and cast out all negative emotions! DO NOT be a prisoner to your feelings.. your God is bigger than them!

If you feel like you just can not shake your insecurities here are some tips that always help me :)

1.) Go to God and speak with him. Pray about the way you are feeling. God can change your mindset with just a few words.. let him in! He wants you to see yourself the way He sees you :)

2.) Throw on some worship music and SUBMERGE yourself in God's presence! In his presence.. all your HOT MESS .. MUST GO lol. it is SO true! When you worship God.. you are forgetting about your flesh and how you " feel" and you are focused solely on your passionate love for God.

3.) Get with your friends who build you up. Let a friend know how your day is going and how you are feeling. That is what we are suppose to do as the body of Christ, we are suppose to edify and build each other up. Don't be afraid to talk it out with someone who loves you ! * Side Note- MAKE SURE the friend you are talking to is a true friend.. be sure it is some one you can trust that you KNOW won't spread your business and who will help the issue and not hurt it.

4.) Speak POSITIVE things over your life DAILY. Words have power!!!!!! God SPOKE the earth into motion!!!!! Be careful what you are saying. Wake up in the morning and proclaim " Today I will be the best me I can.. I know I am beautiful and I will see myself as God sees me." I know.. it sounds corny.. but DO IT.. It works :)


Be encouraged!!!!! God has so many AWESOME things for your life.. all you have to do is GRAB them and MOVE! You better start acting like you know who your daddy is!!!! YOU ARE A PRINCESS!!!!! ACT LIKE IT :)

God is so in love with YOU!
