Live in Awe

You woke up today! There's one miracle to start off your day. Look outside. God's creations are amazing aren't they? Look in the mirror. How does it feel to know that God created you Himself?

We need to live in awe of all the things given to us in life, big or small. Even the simplest things are amazing. Awe is defined as "a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder". Fear or wonder. If that doesn't describe how we should feel about our God, I don't know what does. We should feel that way about all His creations, too. 

Living in awe opens our eyes and mind to so much more beyond our own little world. It brings us joy and contentment. It helps us see people and situations in a new light.

Just driving to an appointment this past week, I was mesmerized by the snow that blanketed the mountains in front of me. I see those same mountains on a daily basis, always thinking "hm. pretty cool mountains", but never actually marveling in their beauty. It just took one little change for me to be filled with awe of God's work again. 

So imagine if instead of waiting for God to open our eyes to His magnificence again, we change our perspective. Wake up every day ready to find the awe in everything you do or see.

Thank Y'all,

A Gal just Simply Living

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
