Letters To Me

Dear You

Its time to change a few things in your life. Your outlook, your mindset, your thoughts, and your routine! Its time to start thinking about YOU and what YOU want and need (of course the Lord willing) and make it happen. The past few years a lot has changed. People have come and gone in your life and relationships both for the good and bad have left you empty or confused. Its time to be YOU..quit thinking about the past, quit wishing for things to change that cant, and to start being who you want to become and who you would want apart of your life! What happend in your past is not nearly as important as what is in your future! Like the old saying..Be the change you wish to see in the world. Its not about who has changed the most, who is more ahead in life, or who has set you back in your journey in life. Everyone gets where they are going at a different time and everything happens for a reason. There is detours and dead ends in life for a reason...to make you stronger, change your route, or to make you cherish the good. You might not know the outcome of this year and you might not know what you are suppose to be doing at exactly this moment in life but you do know not to put your life on hold because you don't know what will be. Your going to keep moving, keep hoping, and keep waiting. God loves you and he hasn't forgotten you! He has to have great plans for you to be prepairing you for this long. You are fearfully and wonderful made in the image of God, what could possibily hold you back? Not a bad break up! Not a lost friendship! Not harsh/discouraging words! NOT any situation you can come up with. You are a child of the most high God. He has promised you everything in him and you will get it and at just the right time. Until then stand tall, stand strong, keep trying, and NEVER give up. Good things are coming!!

too changes, my wildest dreams coming true, and being unstoppable and unforgetabble
always yours

Is the in between pointless?

I hate spending the whole day alone, because Im given hours to think about and evaluate my life too much. The good seems alright, the bad seems worse, and the in between seems pointless. And that leaves me wondering where the heck I am!

I want to know what my future holds. ...I want to know who I'm going to marry and when and how many kids and what job I'll have and where I'll live and the color of the gutters on my house. I want to know all of that so I can stop worrying about where things are going to end up. I want to know that I'll graduate PTA school within a year like I have been aiming for for the past five years and that I will be good at it, and not only good at it but KNOW its where I belong. I want to know that I'll never be divorced and that my husband loves and adores me and admires the woman that I am..and my kids, I just want to know that they wont have any health problems that they will just be normal kids that I love more than anything and have the wonderful opportunity of parenting and teaching them things. I want to say that I will know that my life is going to end with the "happily ever after." But honestly I dont care for the "happily ever after" I just want the chance at making my life all that I dream for it to be! Is our greatest things just our dreams or can it be our reality?

I want and wish so much in my life, I'm setting these unreachable goals and I'm so mad at myself for not being able to reach them. Example: being happy for a week. They say happiness is a state of mind or a choice. Well I say sometimes its hard to do or be what you should.

Sometimes I wish that I could slip into a coma for just a few weeks. Just a week where I don't have to worry about anything....literally, nothing! Almost as though I could switch my brain to "OFF" and all I think about is who I want to be where I want to go in life. Then I can come back to life and just be recharged with this undying thrill for life and my calling. Just pick up where I left off and turn things around for the better...most of you say oh you just need a vacation, or oh thats life...suck it up. But.....

Wouldnt it be nice?


too hopes, dreams, and the fun stuff

Take A Hint?

I got really discourage today! Yesterday was a nightmare. It was the start of the summer semester, well kind of. Thursday was actually the "start" but I slept through both of my classes on accident...yeah great, I know! Well anyway I was at work today telling a guy friend of mine that had read a post I had posted on facebook about how horrible yesterday was and he simply told me it might be a hint..? For some reason I took it as take a hint and give up, quit school, its for your best interest! Now I know it wasnt probably meant in that way but WOW did it hurt. Of course I automatically start thinking, maybe he's right. Maybe I dont have what it takes. Who am I joking. I cant this, I cant that, Im not good enough etc. But then I thought to myself if everything was given to us in life and easy or we didnt have to work for anything then what would be the point in life? I believe nothing we do is ever in vein. For every action there is a reaction. So if your on the verge of giving up, or your thinking that these dreams you have just cant come true I say different!
There is a reason YOU have those specific dreams, goals, and doing what your doing now! Keep your hopes alive and your heart and chin even higher...No matter what is going on. Think of it as getting you stronger and more prepared for GREATNESS!!! I believe in you and love you, even if no one else told you that today..I did! Go take on the world! Your meant for greatness.

too high hopes, big dreams, and it all coming true
always yours

Live What U Love

LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE....A friend of mine just said this to me in conversation a few minutes ago and I thought how true of a statement! We live what we love. If you look at our bank statements and follow our actions long enough you will see what that person lives for. I'm torn at the thought just like I am with a certain situation I am dealing with in my life at the moment. I cant stress enough how actions speak louder than words but today was the first time I actually applied it to my life. What actions are speaking for the loves in my life...? Now that's food for thought..right :)

Lets see...whats new...? Times are fair I guess. I'm just praying for the courage and strength to deal with certain situations in my life right now. For a heart of strength that's covered by the Lord. Times get tough but its all for a reason and sometimes I can see that reason so it makes it not so bad.

Ive been doing a lot of dreaming lately. I forgot how fun it is. Dreaming of the future, dreaming of how I hope life turns out, dreaming of my future life, where I live, what I will do etc. Dreams fuel the fire of inspiration and motivate you to do the desires of your heart. Mine have painted some beautiful pictures lately on cloudy days when I thought all was lost and I was going or getting no where. I encourage you to dream. Dream, even if it is little things, they are what help make the big things amazing.

I'm getting writers block....or A.D.D. haha

Yeah....


Remember the tragedy in life is not death but its a life without purpose!
Go make a difference and be proud of the life your living and the actions to show for it!

always yours
leaving you with dreams, love, and hopes for a happy life

Changes...

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together...."
— Marilyn Monroe

I fall in love with this quote the more time passes and the more people change for unexpected reason. Am I the only one that feels that I havent changed and everything and everyone around me is chaning without me...? I pray that its just me that doesnt realize how much I truly have changed. I have so many things that I want to change. So many dreams and hopes for the future...I just hope I am apart of those wonderful dream filling changes I have in my head. Everything happens for a reason Casey Lynn!
Everything happens for a reason Friend!


to many new good changes, dreams, and a hopeful heart for a bright happy future!
Casey

Happiness is the new Sad

I cant even start to tell you how sad this world is. How uninspiring it it, how hopeless it is, how alone it truly is. We live in a world today that "doing a nice thing" for someone is considered weird or odd. Helping others or being encouraging is the last thing people are these days. Its a selfish world we live in and its not the people I hate for being that way, because we all are that person. Its the helplessness of the world I hate. I dont look at the person for the fault I look at the person as a victim, we are all victims and we all need a little help or just a little care.

Its ALWAYS been my passion or dream to help people. To be and encourager, to inspire others to keep going on, to be a motivator. And at some point in my life I gave up on this dream. I quit caring...well I dont think I ever quit caring, I think life just took a toll on me. I wasnt happy, I was lost, and I never felt more alone. So I would ask myself how can I be all of those things I just listed when look at my life. Im not happy, im not this, im not that, and I have this holding me back, etc etc. Its not that I expected my life to be perfect or thought that it would be...Its FAR from it. But it made me realize that I just have obstacles to overcome and that you cant have great victories without having difficult battles and youll never have a great testimony without going through a few test. I quit blamming myself and saying I just wasnt made to be this type of a person with these dreams with my situation and finally understood that THOSE exact dreams I have were given to me for a reason. It wasnt by accident it was by purpose. God just doesnt equip you with something and not give you a way to use it or make it come true. For example, like I said earlier I have a passion for helping people, making a difference and one of the things I struggle with is fear and confidence a lot of times. I am too scared of what others think and scared of stepping or putting myself out there. Now do you think a person that has a desire or dreams of inspiring/helping people is suppose to be afraid of people and lack confidence....? Nooooooooo...haha! And that is the thing most people will talk their self out of what they are meant to do and I will tell you it is nothing but the enemy trying to destroy the Lords plans for you. He gave you each and every one of those dreams you have in you and I gaurantee he will show you a way to make them come true and to do them. It just might not be easy.

So I tell you...Follow your dream, desires, hopes, plans. They are yours for a REASON!

And make it a point to be nice or do something nice for someone today. I promise it will come back to you.

Instead of living in this sad hopeless world lets start changing it and make Happiness and Hope the new sad.

Wonderful Wonderful

Habakkuk 2:3
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time…though it tarries, wait for it"


*TODAY'S WORD*
GOD has an appointed time to fulfill the visions, dreams, and desires in your heart. Just because it has taken a long time or because you've tried and failed doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Don't give up on those dreams! Don't be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. Our God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible things look, if you'll stay in faith, your set time is coming.

Remember, every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God put it there. Not only that, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Hold on to that vision today. Declare by faith, "My time is coming. God is working behind the scenes on my behalf. I will fulfill my destiny!" As you continue to hold on to that vision and speak life over your dreams, it won't be long before you see them begin to take shape. You'll see your faith grow, you'll see your hope strengthen, and you'll see yourself step into the destiny God has prepared for you!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I receive Your Word which is life and health to me today. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words agreeable to Your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.


Read this today and thought it was and excellent reminder of God promises he has for our life. Something we need to be reminded of daily I think. Its so easy to get caught up in everything in life and feel like your not getting anywhere or making progress. Everything happens for a reason I believe and like I always say God is working over time behind the scenes to make our plans and life turn out according to his will. Hang in there and stay strong...coming from someone that feels lost and like everything I am doing is useless. It will change one day! GOOD THINGS ARE COMING. Your not the only one struggling and THIS TOO SHALL PASS. God wouldnt let his favorite one suffer and struggle the rest of their life. Give it over to him. He knows and sees your heart and desires. Stay strong friend, hes working it out.

Until that mind blowing future and wonderful time comes we are patient waiting, afterall who wants to miss out on what Gods has for you...? :)
