Slow Down!

 Slowing Down: Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos

In the whirlwind of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of work, school, family obligations, and endless to-do lists. We rush from one task to the next, thinking that the faster we go, the more we will accomplish. But in the process, we often lose sight of what truly matters: peace, reflection, and our connection with God.

Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by everything I "should" be doing. I feel like I’m constantly on the go, running from one thing to another, without ever taking a moment to just breathe. But here’s the thing: the faster we go, the more we miss out on. We miss out on the small moments of joy, the quiet time of reflection, and the opportunities to grow spiritually.

The Bible reminds us that we don’t have to rush through life. In fact, we’re encouraged to slow down, rest, and trust in God’s timing. One verse that has been a reminder to me in these moments is:

"Be still, and know that I am God." – Psalm 46:10

This verse calls us to stop and simply be in God’s presence. We’re reminded that we don’t need to constantly strive, work, or push ourselves to the limit. Instead, we’re invited to pause, breathe, and acknowledge that God is in control. We are not alone in our struggles, and we don’t have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.

Slowing down doesn't mean we’re being lazy or unproductive; it means we’re making space for the things that matter most. It’s about prioritizing rest, reflection, and allowing God to guide us through our daily tasks. When we stop and listen to His voice, we begin to understand that His plans for us are greater than our own frantic efforts.

So, I challenge you to take a moment today to slow down. Set aside the to-do list for a bit, step away from the noise, and just breathe. Reflect on the goodness of God and trust that He has everything under control. You don’t have to do it all at once. Life is a journey, not a race.

Let’s take it one step at a time, finding peace in the stillness, and trusting that God’s timing is perfect.

Identity :)

  First impressions  … Mean nothing about someone’s character. You cannot judge a tree by its bark, you can tell what kind of fruit the tree produces if you wait around and water it. I am a ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of person so for me a first impression isn’t something I stress because as a human I am imperfect in my ways, and what people should do is care about character over social status.  I know who I am and will correct you if you misinterpret me whether it be positively or negatively, because we all have strengths and weaknesses that are ever changing and improving in our lives. The importance of authenticity and identity is that we know who we are in Jesus Christ and that our value is known by ourselves. Impressions are for others.  There are few people who truly know you. Those that matter are: Your parents, close friends (not strangers, coworkers, acquaintances, or classmates) And above all God. If you check in with God and pray often about who yo...

Ever wondered how I managed to lose 40 pounds within a year...

What if I told you that the reason I was able to lose 40 pounds was consistency? The GREATEST niche in health, wellness, and fitness are these quick fixes that will "transform your body in 30 days" or food and supplements that will instantaneously change our body in a small amount of time. As consumers this sounds pretty great! I fell into the trap of believing these fads at the beginning of my journey and I want you to understand that this is a ploy-  slow and steady  will show you results. Let's dive into the world of health/wellness. The goal is to continuously become healthier to sustain your body and improve mobility, stamina, and energy (whatever your personal goals are) mentally and physically. Some of the most successful people say everything worth having takes time to accomplish, and with health and wellness, it is a lifelong walk uphill! I was trying different diets; cutting out too much and working out WITHOUT a plan and for too long until I realized that a pla...
