A Trip to New York City

 Hi everyone! If you didn't know, I am a VS PINK Campus Rep and earlier this month I had the opportunity to travel to New York City with my co-rep and friend. Keep scrolling to see my vlog and all the fun things we got into. Hope you enjoy!

Devotional

Matthew 6:31-34 NLT

31" “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today."

As graduation becomes more of a reality, I tend to think a lot about my future and what type of job I'll have and if I'll actually enjoy it. Its very easy to get wrapped up in your own thoughts and worry about "what's next". This scripture is a reminder that God has everything under control because He knows exactly what we need and our desires. We should find peace knowing that God cares for us and He would never steer us wrong. If we focus on God more than life's worries, He will handle the rest. Live for today rather than stressing about what's next.

Stay Chic!

Traveling in PINK:VLOG

     Happy Friday everyone! For today's post I decided to switch it up a bit and share a vlog with you all. I recently became a sponsored campus brand rep for VS PINK and had the opportunity to travel to Columbus, Ohio for brand certification. There was so much excitement packed into three days and having my friend there made it all the more fun. I'm looking forward to a great year with PINK and I hope you all enjoy the video!

P.S. This was my first time vlogging so I was a little nervous lol

Devotional

Psalm 23 NLT

1 The Lord is my shepherd;I have all that I need. 2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. 3 He renews my strength.He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. 4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley,I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. 5 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.You honor me by anointing my head with oil.My cup overflows with blessings. 6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

#FBF 21st Birthday

Happy Friday everyone! Today I wanted to share a throwback from my 21st birthday back in February. I chose to celebrate the big "2-1" alcohol free. Some people might find it strange but as I get closer to God the desire isn't there. My only regret is not hitting up all those food spots to get free birthday perks. It was a great day nevertheless spent with family, pampering, and yummy food of course! I always find myself at the Cheesecake Factory for my birthday. Definitely try the red velvet cheesecake (so good!). Also, shout out to my dad for taking my birthday photos early that morning (well early for us). :)

Spread the Love

Philippians 2:1-8 NLT

 1.Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2. Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. 3. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7. Instead, he gave up his divine; privileges he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.When he appeared in human form, 8. he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

A lot of times we can be so focused on our goals that we forget about others. Take time out to engage with others and encourage them to reach their goals as well as your own. It's always a blessing to be able to help others. God wants us to remain humble and respectful to others. Our success is because of Him giving us the abilities; it's not by our own doing. Instead of bragging, let's build each other up. The life of Jesus is the example of selflessness and obedience to God that we should follow.

Look Who's Back

  Hi there remember me? It's been such a long time since I last posted. Just to update you guys, I've been busy finishing up my junior year, campus promoting for PINK by Victoria Secret, and I got a summer job. My goal is to save up to study abroad before I graduate. Traveling abroad is something I would love to do but just haven't had the opportunity until now. My next goal is to post more frequently on my blog because I want it to encourage someone else. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I pray it inspires you!

Romans 12:1-2 NLT  

1."And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

God isn't expecting us to be perfect people and He knows we won't get it right all the time. That's why we are supposed to continue are walk with Him so that He can show us the right way to live. He's asking that we give our whole selves completely to Him. We may live in the world but we don't have to be like it. Set your sights on things eternal. If we're going to church "religiously" but still living the same lives before we found Christ, then we haven't really been transformed. We need to have a made up mind to follow God and not the world. When we allow God to guide us, our hearts will change and He will reveal His perfect plan for us.

First Week Complete

Happy Friday everyone! We made it through the first week of 2016. So far the year is treating me well and I'm remaining optimistic. In other news this week, the temperature is finally dropping in Florida. For me 60° + strong winds and rain = freezing. I love layering up just in case it gets warmer later in the day. Leather jackets are my go-to in the winter because they go with anything and you can dress it up or down.

"He is faithful"

Matthew 26:39-41 NLT

39 "He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying,'My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.'40 Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter,'Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour? 41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!' "

Before Jesus was betrayed, He prayed to God several times because He knew crucifixion was approaching. He couldn't confide in His friends and share thoughts because they couldn't even stay awake for an hour. When no one is around or too busy, God is there. No one can understand better than God, He's known us from the very beginning. He knows the exact amount of hair on our heads (Matthew 10:30). Struggles come and that's apart of life, but with God that burden is light. It very well could be a test of your faith in Him. Never feel hesitant to ask for God's help. He's our father and cares for us more than anything. 

Stay Chic!
