Little Letters: Moments of March Edition




Dear yellow daffodils & tulips,

Your little pop of color is so exciting to see! You bring promises of warmth, and sunshine, and I am oh so ready for all of that.

Dear Memphis,

I always want to stay longer than I should, and wonder why I stay away so long when you're not too far from home. So enticing with your food, the fun, the fellowship, but mostly the friendships of humans I love.




Dear springtime allergies,

Can we just not do this this time? k, thx.

Dear San Diego,

How is your weather so perfect? I could definitely get used to you.



Dear Bing Haus,

Earl grey lavender rolled ice cream with honey and mochi. Hands down, love.




Dear secret hidden swing at sunset cliffs,
Seriously THE CUTEST! My day was immediately made and I couldn't have asked for anything else. #thehideaway


Dear fog/smog in Los Angeles,
I can't tell the difference. Which one are you?



Dear sunsets in California,

I never actually got to see you at the beach, but you're beautiful from afar too.



Dear Disneyland,
The happiest place on Earth, with some wonderful people! My inner Disney 90's child was on cloud nine enjoying this wayyy too much! The shows, the rides, the music, the nostalgia. The feels were too real. Sleeping Beauty's castle and the Alice in Wonderland spinning tea cups were my favorite.




Dear dole whip,

Second times the charm....


Dear brother in LA,

The American Girl store was soooo much fun! Thank you for making me feel like I'm 9 again, it was the best! Samantha is well taken care of and enjoying her cute outfits. Love you!

Dear sushi,

I can totally quit whenever I want to. It's not a problem.



Dear tan lines on my ankles,

That's cute. #thankssandals

xoxo,

Reflections of Jesus


Reflections of Jesus: Monday Devotional on @ShesIntentional with @Kimberdulsi


PART OF BEING A SERVANT OF CHRIST REQUIRES US TO LET HIS LIGHT SHINE THROUGH OUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS DAILY.

We are to strive to live by Jesus’ teachings and examples that He gave us while he walked on the earth. How many times have we watched ourselves fail miserably in handling a situation, and we think to ourselves, “There’s no way I can EVER be as good and perfect as Jesus was!” I know I have!
The fact of the matter is that as humans, we are all going to make mistakes. We will never be perfect, but we serve a God who is! My prayer this month has simply been “let them see you in me.” When strangers notice you aren’t like everyone else, that theres something different about you but they just can’t put their finger on it, Jesus let them see you!  I want to be a mirror image of His goodness, His love, and His kindness. When He moves, I move, where He goes, I want to be there also.

THREE AREAS IN WHICH WE CAN REFLECT JESUS DAILY: 

    1. IN THE WAY WE WALK

    Lord, let me walk in your will, order my footsteps, and lead me in the path of righteousness. If we let your word be a lamp unto our feet, the way will be well lit and a solid foundation.

    2. IN THE WAY WE LOVE

    To love like Jesus we must love equally, regardless of reciprocation, patiently, and love those who are against us.

    3. IN THE WAY WE TALK

    Our words cannot be taken back once we have let them out. Our words should be uplifting, encouraging, build others up, and kind.
More than anything I want my life to be a reflection of Jesus to this lost world, to help one person feel the hope that God extends to us each day! As we prepare for the upcoming Easter holiday, where we take the time to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection we should also take some time to reflect and ask ourselves, “Does my life point the way for those who have a desire to see and meet Jesus?”
LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS, AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. {MATTHEW 5:16}
I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME, THAT THEY MAY BE MADE PERFECT IN ONE; AND THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT THOU HAST SENT ME, AND HAST LOVED THEM, AS THOU HAST LOVED ME. {JOHN 17:23}
Dear readers, lets strive to be reflections of Jesus everywhere we go!

xoxo,
