New Year's Resolution: God is Enough

For the past year I have been incredibly depressed/annoyed/fed up about the fact that I am single. Feelings of worthlessness and nobody-loves-me's have been a constant occurrence in my mind, and I've been annoying anyone who will listen with my complaints. 

But that was until I found this blog entry. 

A few months ago I spoke about how God gives hugs and this one is no different. This entry contains an answer to every single prayer I have prayed, and with it, my New Year's Resolution.

God is Enough.

Happy New Year, and may God bless you greatly :)

The Magic of Salt Water

I'm convinced that salt water is the perfect remedy for every situation - simply because no matter how you feel, crying, exercising or going to the beach always makes you feel better. :)

It's been about two weeks that I've been at the beach, and I can safely say that every sore spot in my life is slowly seeping out and being replaced by new, happier feelings.

I find myself dwelling less on the past and more on the future. I'm smiling. I'm happy. 

I don't know where you are in your life, but if you are in need of a change, today is the perfect time to start!

It's almost 2012, and I'm going into it with a much happier soul and a resolution to let go of the past, and to embrace the future :)

Not sure where to start?

I've created a list, detailing every aspect of my life that's currently making me unhappy. 

I may not know where I'm going to end up, but I do know that I will do my absolute best to complete the tasks outlined on the list :)

Happy New Year :) May you find your new beginning :D

I don't know if there's anyone reading this, but if there is, welcome :) If you'd like to follow me on this journey, feel free to click on the link labelled "The Fresh Saltwater Start" on the left-hand side of this blog. Thanks for reading!

Hugs from Jesus

I don't know if you have ever felt a hug from Jesus - or even realised when He was giving you one!

I realised this for the first time yesterday, when something I had prayed about was answered, and I was left feeling nothing but God's love around me :)

Two nights ago I was having a low self esteem day, and I found myself in tears as I stood in front of the mirror telling God everything I was so deeply unhappy about. I went to bed feeling pretty yucky, and needless to say, the morning did not bring sunshine and happiness...

I had a few errands to do yesterday (and needless to say I was pretty grumpy and depressed!) - when I walked into a new hairsalon to give my mom something I had borrowed. As I walked in, she asked me out of the blue if I had time to try out the new hairdresser. Feeling pretty yucky already, I decided whatevs, let's see what happens.

The minute I sat down, the hairdresser looked at me and said the same words I had prayed the night before. The words "frizzy" and "tired" came up; but so did the words "I can help you with that."

Well, I left that salon with a new hairstyle - and a new outlook!

I fully believe I walked into that salon for a reason, and I know God gave me one of the biggest bear hugs of all time :)

So today as you go about your business, take a few moments to just stop and see how God is sending you hugs!
