Something that everyone deals with on a daily basis is stress. During this time of the year, many high school students and college students are stressing about the end of the semester. I just want to give a small reminder to give it to God. He is always there for you leading the way. Give it to Him. You have got this. Keep your head up.

One month ago from today, I was going to end it all. I thought I had hit my lowest and I would not be able to get back up from it. Here I am today purely happy with my life. Never give up. Life can be a rollercoaster sometimes, so you just have to wait to go back up.

Colossians 1:5 Your faith and love continue because you know what is waiting for you in Heaven- the hope you have had since you first heard the true message, the Good News.     You will be tested in your faith each and every day. Some days will be harder than others, but never give up. God has put these obstacles in your life for a reason; He knows you can do this. Each test is a learning experience for you. Each time you are tested in your faith, you grow. Always remember what you have waiting for you in Heaven. Stay Strong.

Colossians 3:14 "Together with these things, the most important part of your new life is to love each other. Love is what holds everything together in perfect unity." I chose to share this verse with you because of all the negative things that have been happening in this world recently. It is devastating to watch the news and hear the tragic stories that have happened to our country. We need to love. We need to show our compassion. Prayers to our country and all the people who have been affected by the recent tragedies. Go on and show your love. 💗

Didn't have the greatest week? That's okay! It's a new week, and it is time to make the best of it! Set your goals and put that smile on your face. You got this.

What does "You are You" mean? God made You. He created you. Just think out of anything he could have created, he created you . He specially made you . How awesome is that? It it so hard to wrap your mind around. He created the beautiful mountains, oceans, and so much more, but he also created you and me.  With this being said, do not try to change who you are. You were beautifully and wonderfully made. He made each small detail about you. You are you for a reason. Keep being you.

Today I thought I would talk about something serious and relevant. I found out today someone my sister knew took her life today. After this tragic event, a young girl thought she had the right to make fun and bash this sweet girl saying she only did this for attention. First of all, someone does not take their own life for attention. If you are to the point where you would take your life, then it is serious. This is nothing to joke about. What attention are you trying to get if you are dead? If you are suffering with depression, you are not alone. Depression is common. It is okay. So many people will be there for you. Reach out. I know how hard it can be to feel so alone, but reaching out has been the best thing I did. Talk to someone who you trust. We do not want you hurting. You are loved. You are enough. You are priceless. God gives his biggest battles to his toughest soldiers. You got this. You are a warr;or.
