So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ‘All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced.

Isaiah 41:10‭-‬11

In everything you do, every trial that you face, and in every challenge, that comes your way, you need to know that you have no reason to be afraid or worried. Jesus assures you that He has got you. He will strengthen you, and He will help you; He will see you through the tough times. No matter what.

Pray: Dear God, I thank You that I can trust You completely, never having to worry or fret when troubles come my way. Help me to remain at peace, O Lord, fully knowing that all will be well because You are with me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

“A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.”

Early Riser

Wake up early. Not because “the early bird catches the worm.” Not to force yourself to be more productive. Not to “rise and grind” your life away.

Do it for entirely the opposite reasons.

Give yourself a chance to slow down before the hurriedness of the day envelopes your thoughts and your body. Do the thing that relaxes you. Do the thing you love that you never have time to do. Allow yourself to be still and intentionally prepare for the day ahead.

Wake up early to find your magic, and use it to forge through your day.

Starting at age ten, I kept a daily journal until age nineteen. Why I stopped, I can’t really figure out. I do think it is because of social media. Facebook had just started and I remember in my early twenties, I was on that nonstop. Instagram and Twitter did not help either, because I soon had three social media platforms to update daily and spend endless time on, which made me feel very bored and even unhappy as I saw others living exciting lives and finding true love, blah blah blah. I then realized I was being very shallow. What happened to the girl I once was? The dreamer, full of words and thoughts, always happy and easy going?

Placing social media aside , I began to do other things first. When I wake up, I no longer check my phone first. I meditate and pray. I stretch. I make a cup of tea, say good morning to my family. I have taken up new hobbies - pressing flowers, knitting, needlework and lots of reading. Picking out a new journal was glorious! A nice cover, fresh blank pages, and some nice black gel ink pens.

Writing my first page, it was like a sigh of relief. I was back to myself. Social media is now the last thing I check each day. I often forget to check. I have even thought about deleting my Instagram and Twitter accounts, longing for the calm and secrets of life before social media. I long to be mysterious and unique, I can’t be that on social media.

I want to write and blog while being myself. Me and me only, not influenced by other bloggers or trends. Just me.
