He Smiles.

Do you ever wonder what God is doing, like at this moment? I constantly ask myself that question mostly because God is fascinating, and I'm nosey. There is so much to Him that I haven't discovered yet, but each day I strive to know more. What is God feeling when He looks at me? What is He thinking? Every time I ask these questions, I cannot help but see an image of God smiling.

Sister, God smiles when He sees you and when He thinks of you. Brother, God smiles when He sees you and when He thinks of you. Do not doubt His love and passion for you. He smiles because you are His, and He is proud of you. You are serving a great God who gives you the strength to face every day with a humble heart and a determined spirit during the hard times. God smiles when He hears your prayer because you are special to Him. It's so awesome to know that you are cared for, even when the world fails you. 


You should smile too.

Find joy in the small things. God wants us to be happy and flourish through Him. It is so sad to see people who are so blessed in many different ways, but they still are unhappy. Create positivity and be the positivity. God created you in His own image. That is something to smile about. 

When you can see the small pieces of joy in your life, then you will begin to find joy in everything. Feel God's joy and make it yours. He tells us in Psalm 47:1 to, "Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy." Sister and Brother, do not stop shouting about our God's name, our God's love, and our God's power to save and heal! He deserves every ounce of our heart's praise. If you continue to do this, you will be able to smile, and your heart will be flooded with the Lord's delight.


There is always something you can smile about.

You're the marrying type.

I spent years waiting and watching... I thought it was my fault. Everyday, during middle and high school, I looked in the mirror and thought, "What can I do differently today that I haven't done yet? How can I do my hair different? Will he like it curly or straight? Is this shirt tight enough? Will he notice my efforts? Will he notice me at all?"---In those years, I watched all of my friends find boys and enter the world of love, but I was not included. I spent nights crying over boys that didn't even know I existed. You may think that this is so cliche, but it's true. Girls spend majority of their time thinking about what they can do to impress the opposite sex. We try everything from a new hair cut, a new hair color, new clothes, or even a new personality. We will totally change who we are just to get them to turn their heads. I thought it was my fault that the boys didn't like me in "that way"...What did I not have that the other girls ha

Two Peas In A Pod

Without a doubt, each one of my days on Earth start with a little bit of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus. When reading “The Sacred Arts of Life” by Thomas Moore, in HMXP class, I saw myself in this reading. Many people do not understand that coffee and Jesus are not just things in my life I do every day, they are a part of my daily ritual. It’s easy for one to see these two things as cliché, since many posters and pictures have these two objects woven together in quotes, but for me, I cannot go a day without them.   This is the very reason why I decided to create my own art piece that describes my personal sacred ritual. In my reality, coffee and Jesus go together like two peas in a pod, and they are sacred arts of life in my book.             Before I begin creating this art piece, it was vital that I knew why each piece mattered to me. To start, coffee is a liquid dark colored drink created by brewed roasted beans from a coffee plant, but this end result is not sacred to me; i
