Hello Love

I've recently been inspired by my sister-in-law to start my blog up again, mainly the reason being, I need a place to write. A place to type out what I'm thinking because writing all of it down by hand is just too much for me. There's a lot that goes on up in my head and not enough strength in my hand to write it all down before my handwriting gets so sloppy it's not even legible. So this is a place for all my thoughts, all my rants, all my praises, etc. A place where I don't really care what you think of my opinion, because, well…It's my opinion. So continue to read my blog if you so desire to, or don't. I could really careless.

 I decided to dedicate this blog to all the young women who think they need someone to love them. All the young women who don't know what it's like to be loved. All the young women who are scared to be loved because they're afraid of getting hurt.

 Why dedicate it to all the young women? Why is your blog called 'Hello Love'?

 5 years ago I was apart of an internship at a christian summer camp called Youth For the Nations. I had the opportunity to be a junior intern with 19 other people. We got to go behind the scenes at YFN and see how everything worked, we were trained by some of the greatest men and women of God, and met some of the most amazing people. As junior interns, we were able to be apart of altar calls and got to pray over and with the campers that were there. I met many different girls all with a different story, but the one thing that all of them had in common was that they all needed LOVE. Some of them never knew what love was, some of them had been hurt by love, and some of them just needed someone to tell them they were loved. I remember many times when I didn't know what to say to them, I would just repeat "You are loved." over and over again. To some of them it was just words, but to others it was exactly what they needed to hear.

 So I call my blog 'Hello Love' because everyone needs a little love. Everyone needs a never ending, unconditional, absolutely perfect love.

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”-Ephesians 4:29 This has been a verse that I have remembered since my very first year of YFN back in 2005. Whoever the speaker was wanted us to remember it very well so he would always yell “What time is it?” & everyone would yell back “4:29!” Guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t 4:20 or that would just be terrible. Where I’m at in my life right now and with everything that has happened, I have had this verse on my mind a lot. I don’t always “follow” this rule, but recently I have been reminded of how important words are and how much they can affect a person. I have had to say goodbye to a person in my life that I never thought or hoped I would have had to say goodbye to. Sometimes goodbyes are just a “see you later” and sometimes they are actual goodbyes. I firmly believe that if someone is in your life and is ha

I want to like you, but it's not that easy.

Today I treated myself to a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks (I got a pretty little red cup with a reindeer on it for all you peeps that threw a hissy fit over some stupid cups last year). The pumpkin spice latte was much needed. Mondays...I hate them. People...not fond of them either. Then you combine Mondays, people, a busted lip (let's not talk about how that happened), and trying to give good customer service...UGH. A lot of people don't know that  I AM NOT A PEOPLE PERSON . People assume that I am, and I am to a certain degree, but most of the time I don't want to be around people, talk to people, look at people (I rarely ever make eye contact...mostly cause it's awkward), etc. My parents usually disagree with me on this, but apparently people just don't get it. I have my small circle of people that I enjoy being around, and it's very small. I would't say that I hate people...I hate being around people. I don't like having to make conversation w

Who Are You?

Daughter . S ister . Aunt. Adopted. Writer. Learner. Impatient. Easily annoyed. Lover. Friend. Gift giver. Planner. Unorganized. Lazy. Steven Adams enthusiast. Messy. Dedicated. Hard worker. Mistake maker. Bad driver. OKC Thunder fanatic. Loud. Loyal. Photographer. Frustrated. Not great at expressing feelings. Not great at hiding facial expressions. Grumpy. Animal and baby lover. Let's try this again. I had this whole post typed out and it deleted, so I'm currently annoyed, but here's the chance to make this even better. All of that above...that is me, or part of me. The good, the bad, and the ugly. On Sunday the sermon was about labels. What 3 labels would you use to describe yourself? What 3 labels would you use to describe yourself to someone you've never met? I couldn't think of any at the time, I mean...c'mon...there are so many words. What kind of idea of myself do I want to give someone who doesn't know anything about me? When I finally thought of
