The past couple weeks something has felt different inside me. My last post was about living intentional and touching the people around you. But one thing I didn't mention was living intentionally in your relationship with God. The past couple months have been amazing and filled with new adventure...but something has felt like it was missing in my life. Living intentionally in my relationship with God. I have felt a lack in a Christian community and a lack of transparency.

I started this blog because I saw some of my friends doing it and it interested me. But along this journey, I felt maybe there was something I could do with this blog. I talked about in a previous blog post about not being like other bloggers and trying to find out who I was in this huge opportunity. Maybe I'm not the fashion blogger, or the thrift blogger, or whatever you can think of. What if my platform is to talk about my life and share my journey with God. What if this blog can transform my life into a life that speaks of the Lord. I post mulitple times and then not for weeks. I feel if I don't have a fashionable or cute post to post then I can't post about my blog. But why do I feel these two things have to go together? I see FASHION bloggers and how they do their blog, but that is not me. I am finally going to find my own groove.

Last week I visited a brand new church in Lubbock, if you know me you know I haven't stepped foot in a new church since August 2017. This was a new experience for me, but while talking to someone new she asked me what my major was and as always I simplify it and say "hospitality", she went on to ask if that was my spiritual gift. I was stumped I'd never thought hospitality could be my spiritual gift, but then I started thinking. If hospitality is my spiritual gift what can I do past my career goals to be satisfied in life and serving the Lord? One of my closest and sweetest friends has started herself a special blog. But her's is all about positive and uplifting stories. He will not be a traditional blog, but it will be a blog that leaves people feeling good and satisfied. (thank you, Maddie Hector) This got me thinking why can't I apply some more God and some more hospitality to this small page I call my blog?


So here is to living more intentional, being more self-aware and to serving others!
