Rest in the Presence of the Lord

"You are the rock-it's where I stand. Your grace for me will never end. All fear is gone, in You alone I find my strength"
 "I Will Rest" (Adam Kersh)

School.
Something that seems to never stop with endless lectures, lessons, studying, and test taking. Class to class, time seems to drag on, but when you look back, it feels as if you blinked and the year is already coming to an end. As I come up on this new chapter in my life, I'm confronted with the decision on where I'll spend the next few years in school.

I've struggled with this decision for the last few months. I have two options, and whichever I chose, will affect my life and future. For weeks, I've struggled with the weight of this commitment and the value in each choice. And within those weeks, the Lord has really pursued me and lead to me verses I desperately needed to hear. He reassured me of the plans He has for me, and the rest that is in His presence. I gave everything over to Him, after this simple reminder - every doubt, fear, hesitation, and anxiety driven emotion, and could not be more grateful I prayed that prayer of trust and surrender. He's instilled a peace within me, and I've experienced rest, knowing that His plan is greater then anything I could ask for or imagine. I'm content in whatever the outcome is because I know that whatever I go through, He will see me through it.

If you're unsure of your future or where you're at right now, remember the Lord has plans set aside for you and planned them long ago."Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart; do not depend on your own understanding; seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take"  -Proverbs 3:5-6


"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you, not harm you. Plans to give you hope, and a future"
-Jeremiah 29:11

Summer Wishlist



1 | 2 | 3 | 45 | 6| 7 | 8 | 9

Hey y'all! It's officially summer for me, so I thought I would share this fun summer wishlist! The bright colors and print of this Target bathing suit top are perfect for summer. I love that the straps are removable because I'm a big fan of bandeau tops (no tan lines)! I'm also a big fan of anything tow-toned and anything Jack Rogers, so I instantly fell in love with this pair! But these wedges (heart eye emoji). I'm obsessed!! The floral detailing is such a cute, unexpected design. And look at that floppy hat (insert heart eye emoji again), a perfect hat for vacation! I'm so excited  for summer and to finally take some beach trips! What products are y'all eyeing for this summer?

Welcome to My Next Greatest Adventure!

Hi, welcome to my blog! I'm Christina and I'm so glad you're here!

This life is filled with so many wonders and so much to be passionate about. There's a few things I'm passionate about, and plan to build this blog around-my relationship with God, fashion, beauty, and baking. Sometimes life gets hectic, and there's times when you have to be intentional about what you do. Whether it's your thoughts, actions, words, or passions- there's times when I strive for more. I strive to be kinder, more courageous, more compassionate, etc. I want to use this blog as a way for me to able to strive to be a better person and Christian. I've decided to document my life to share and hopefully, encourage others and because I think it will be fun! Summer is almost here, and what's better then pursuing your passions?! I hope you join me as I grow, and this blog grows with me. I also hope you strive endlessly for what makes you happy.
"Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire".

Thanks for reading!
