It’s Okay to be Single

I haven’t really posted a super deep post on my blog before but today I’m changing that. Today, I’m going to be talking about singleness, and yeah this is my first faith-based post! I hope you guys enjoy it and if you aren’t into religion you won’t hurt my feelings if you just scroll through this post! My outlook on singleness has somewhat shifted in the past few weeks thanks to my pastor. 
A couple of weeks ago I was at church and my pastor was speaking on marriage and singleness. I’m single. I’ve actually never had a boyfriend and honesty y’all that’s something that I have STRUGGLEd with.  After hearing what my pastor had to say about singleness, I realized that I needed to change the way I looked at it. I want to get married. I just need to trust the Lord and His timing. 
My pastor talked about the fact that singleness isn’t a bad thing. It’s not that I thought of singleness as something bad and terrible. I guess I just didn’t think of it as something I could be super positive about and happy with. I wasn’t content in my singleness. My pastor said singleness is a gift. We should use our singleness and that time to bring glory to God. 
So what I’m really trying to say is that being single is OKAY. Be content in this time of singleness and use your time where you aren’t super tied down to bring glory to God.
Thank you so much for reading this, it means so much to me!

Life Update

Hey y’all! Long time no see, I’ve been kinda MIA for the last couple of weeks and I felt like I should update you guys on what’s going on in my life!
So first things first, I’m going to be talking about my religion in this post so if you don’t want to read you don’t have to! 
Two weeks ago I went to camp with my church youth group as a chaperone. I also lead a small group on Wednesday nights during the school year. It was an amazing time to bond with the younger girls that go to church with me. It was also a great time for me to grow in my faith. My faith has been something that I’ve wanted to incorporate into my blog for some time because it is such an important aspect of my life. I’m a Christian and I have been since I was in second grade. I want to use my blog and the platform that I have here to share my faith! With that being said I really would love to start a series where I just share scripture or something like that. I love seeing bloggers that I follow step out in their faith and share the gospel with others! So if you’d be interested in some kind of scripture series or have ideas for it, please let me know! I would love to hear from you! 
I came back from camp on Wednesday. I worked on Thursday (I have a work-study job at the college I go to), and on Friday my mom, sister, and I started getting things together for our family vacation. 
We left on Saturday for Panama City Beach, Florida. I had a great time with my family. We got to see some parts of the country that we had never seen before. We had a great time together. I was planning on blogging some this past week but I didn’t get to. It was a good break from blogging, but I’m so glad that I’m back! 
I’m going to try and get on a regular blog schedule soon. I’ll be getting a MacBook Air soon and Y’ALL I’m so excited to finally get one. I think once I get one my blog game will improve.
Well, that’s all I have for today y’all. I hope you guys
are doing well and I hope you guys have a great July 4th!
All the love,
xoxo Emily
