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

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
