Praise the One, Risen Son of God.

I’ve felt really convicted lately about how I try to portray my life on social media. I think that people may get the impression that my life is wonderful all the time and that I never really struggle. That is far from the truth. I’m daily battling with anxiety and a lot of emotional scars from my past. I get to marry the man of my dreams in four months and I could not be more excited, but it isn’t a fairytale. There are days when it’s hard to love each other and when love is an active choice rather than a feeling. I have amazing friends, but they get on my nerves sometimes. I love my family more than anything, but they don’t know Jesus and that also causes me more pain than anything else. 

Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

In the blood of Jesus Christ I can stand in confidence before my Lord. Not because I am incredible, but because the blood of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he made is incredible, because our God is good.
