Life is a long road trip

Bible Verse Of The Day:
"Tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can't speak."
- Psalm. 56:8

Hello everyone,

First of all, I absolutely love today's Bible verse. Love Psalms, they are my favourite Bible verses..but never seen that verse before. Very happy that I found it! :)

As you might know (if you've been reading my previous blog posts) I've been stressed out and feeling very down, but after watching an episode of "Breaking Pointe", I realized something. I realized that I wasn't the only one who was going through a hard time.
As selfish as I might sound, all this time I really thought that I was the only one who's going through a very hard time. I thought I was the only one who had to sacrifice something very precious. But after watching a simple episode of "Breaking Pointe" (an American reality television series about ballet), my eyes kinda opened a little bit.
After seeing what they are going through, how much they need to sacrifice, what they are willing to do for their dreams..amazes me!! They are ready to sacrifice everything just to be on the stage. Ready to put their bodies through a hard time and practise for very long hours. To have such a huge passion for something you truly love amazes me so much!! To see them work so hard and push their bodies to the limits, makes me realize that I'm not the only one who's going though a hard time.

I've got days when I just want to be in my bed and feel sorry for myself, and then there are days when I feel much better. But if I wouldn't have God by my side, I would be totally lost. He's given me the most amazing family I could've ever asked for and amazingly supporting friends.

Life is truly a very long road trip. And sometimes we don't know what's ahead of us. But what ever we have to face, we can always get through it because we've got God by our side.
We don't always know what to do when we are going through a hard time, but thankfully God does.

Have a lovely evening!

Happy Friday

Bible Verse Of The Day:
"Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength."
- Isaiah. 40:31

Hello and good Friday to everyone!

Even though my day didn't start off very well, I'm more than happy right now. Because I was able to come home for this weekend! Yay! Home is my favourite place on this earth. Filled with my best friends and God's love and peace. <3

Because I've been so down and all over the place (for the last 3 months), I haven't really been myself. When I'm not feeling well, I tend to "let go" of my good habits. I get lazy and start doing things in a different way. And then that makes me feel even worse... So, now I just want to take baby steps to a right direction. Get myself organized (again), start actually living my life, doing fun things. But of course there will be days when I will feel very down and homesick. But if it doesn't kill you, it will make you much stronger.. :)
I just want to be myself again. And maybe it will take some time, but it's better than doing nothing.

I'm a very organized person and I love having everything in a order and in their own place. I love to make everything look pretty and beautiful. That's just who I am. I'm very girly girly. I love everything sparkle and glitter..but not over the top. A little glitter makes the day a little better. :) That's what I say!

Hope, you've had a lovely day and hopefully you're weekend will be filled with happiness and God's love!

If It's Supposed To Happen, It will

Bible Verse Of The Day:
"Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble & never stop praying."
- Romans. 12:12

Hello everyone,

A month ago, I moved out from home because of my studies. I applied to 3 different schools and God sent me to the farthest one. At first I thought it was a bad joke but then I realized that He was serious. It takes around 3 1/2 hours (by train) to go from home to my school. And that's why I had to move out. Do I love it? No. Absolutely not. But what can I do. I definitely want to study and go to a school but at the same time, I really feel like it's far too early for me to move out.

If I carry on with my studies, I have to sacrifice something that means the world to me..and that's my family. Of course I see them..but not every week. And that really hurts!
And if I want to stop my studies and move back home so I can be with my loved ones, I have to sacrifice something then as well...and that's my school. Because if I move back home, I don't have a place where to study photography.

But don't get me wrong, of course I am happy and thankful to have an opportunity to go to school and be one of the luckiest one to get in. But I never thought it would be so hard.

Why can't there just be a photography school near home? Why? Why? Why?
If there's anyone reading this post right now, can you please pray about this?

Dear Lord,
thank you for giving me a place in a new school. An amazing opportunity to study something so magnificent and beautiful. Thank you. Lord, you know how I feel. You know how hard it is to live so far away from home. So, I'm asking and praying for something big but for you it's small. Can you Lord build a new art school somewhere near my home? So, I could study near home. If it's supposed to happen, it will. I trust in You and in Your plans. Thank you. Amen.

Have a lovely Tuesday!
God Bless xxx

Patience Goes Very Far

Bible Verse Of The Day:
Jesus replied, "You don't understand now what I am doing, but someday you will."
- John. 13:7

Hello everyone,

Today I want to talk to you about patience. It is something that we've all got, but often we don't know how to use it. Sometimes we need to wait for something or do something that takes time..but unfortunately our minds don't always want to wait. In many cases, when we are waiting for something and lose our patience, we give up. And that should not happen.

I admit it, my patience level is definitely not good. But it's just one of those things I need to practise and learn. There are times when I feel like I'm exploding and my mind is going mad, but I just need to remind myself that every waiting has its end. And God can always give me the strength that I need.

It's okay to feel a bit nerves and scared when you're waiting for something big. I totally understand that. But when you feel like its taking all your energy and time, pray. Praying is the best solution. God can give you the strength that you need. He will help you.

Before my Summer holiday, I had tons and tons of final exams. I was so nerves and scared. Worrying constantly about school got to me. It took all my energy and time. I was trying to read to all my exams, waiting for the results, I was going to hear soon that what College I got into...I was just constantly thinking far too much. Even though our minds are quite big, it doesn't mean it can take all the negativity. And because I was over-thinking, it definitely didn't help the situation.
I didn't have any patience. I just wanted everything to happen now. I wanted to control everything..but that's Gods job, not ours.
But thankfully I had my family and God to help and support me. :)

Have a lovely week and enjoy every moment.

God Bless xxx
