It’s a Scary Time to be Alive

The cruelty of this world is a very scary thing.

The  events of the past  week have been heartbreaking to say the least. Watching events unfold on video, seeing photos, reading, and hearing people’s experiences puts me beside myself. I am beside myself to see the cruelty that people can unleash on other people. As a Christian woman I just pray for more love and peace in this world. I pray for those that have been hurt and those we have lost. I pray for the souls of those that are committing these crimes. May God do work in their hearts to help them see the evil they are unleashing on this world. May they see the sinfulness in their ways, repent for forgiveness, and change.

There is hate in this world, there is evil in this world.
There is sickness, there is pain, and there is death.

It’s a scary time to be alive. There is pain and suffering being imposed on the world, people are killing innocent people, our Earth is in danger, there is sickness that cannot be healed..I don’t mean to be a debbie downer but I’m scared. I’m scared of the future of our world. I’m scared for the future of humanity. Shootings, murders, and bombings of innocent people are more and more common on the news. There are wars upon wars that are being fought. You see the word “cancer” more and more often. You see people sick, in pain, and struggling to stay alive.

It breaks my heart.

But what can I do? I can pray, pray for our world. I can show others love and compassion, even though I don’t receive it back. I can have grace even in times that I want to succumb to evil. It’s not much and sometimes I’m disappointed by that. But if we all give a little, it becomes a lot. Every bit that I can give I will, that’s the only way we will start to see change.

Lord, please bless our world.

In your name I pray,

Amen

Owning a Business is Hard Part 2

owning-a-business

Do you ever think to yourself, “It would be so much easier if I just worked for someone else.” I do. I contemplate that thought almost every day, especially the not-so-good days. If I just gave up and was employed by someone else then I would have less to stress about, I would have a consistent income, I would have set work hours, I don’t need to work AFTER work hours, I can just clock in, and clock out..

But I can’t, I’m just not that type of person. I’ve tried to give up and quit. I’ve tried over and over again but the result ends up the same. I’m unhappy.

I’m unhappy working for someone else.
I’m unhappy because I’m not being challenged to work at my full potential.
I’m unhappy because of office politics.
I’m unhappy because I still have to work hard, but now it’s not for myself.
I’m unhappy because I start dreaming of the entrepreneur’s life again.
I’m unhappy because I don’t have a passion for what I’m doing.

I’m here to tell you friends. The stress may feel too difficult to overcome. Like you want to just throw in the towel and give up. It’ll happen a lot. But don’t let it, fight for what you have been working so hard for. Have faith! All the struggle will show you what you’re made of. Some days you’ll feel defeated and other days you’ll feel victorious, that’s ok. We can’t win them all, but in the end you should be happy.

Your business should make you happy.
Your business should give you purpose.
Your business should be rewarding.
Your business should challenge you.
Your business should be your passion.

So live on fellow entrepreneurs! Be happy.

xoxo,

My Holiday Playlist

I know some crazy people feel like it’s too soon, but for me it can’t come soon enough! The holidays are HERE!!!! 🙂

My Spotify and Pandora playlists have been pretty much all holiday music. As we get closer and closer to Christmas I’ll be sharing some great Christmas music with you guys! EEEE! I’m giddy with Christmas spirit!!

I’m currently listening to Dave Barnes, he has 2 amazing Christmas albums but he has amazing non-holiday music as well!

Any recommendations for some great Christmas music that isn’t playing on KOST?? 😛
