Just Jane

Just a young adult living the life of love that I have been called to. (youth leader. kid's ministry enthusiast. full time student. retail sales associate. insane friend. random adventurer. and maybe now a blogger.) My sporadic hashtag posts are my attempt at sharing my heart and my life.

It's easy to get so caught up in the dreams that we have dreamt for ourselves that we forget that our creator already wrote our story. He knows the beginning and the end and He will fight for us and cause that plan to fall into place if we simply trust and follow Him.

You know, if you just love people.. Be the first to love... They will usually end up loving you back. Some people don't know how to love you back, and some people love you back in the most peculiar ways.. But you loved them first and they know your love is true because it came before conditions, before history or similarities. Love came before hope even had time to set in. Focus on being and exhibiting love today. And not the world's definition of love, but the word's definition. (1 Cor 13)

If your not willing to fight hard enough to win, then why bother fighting at all. Don't waste your efforts by only giving half of what you have got. Give your everything, all you have to fight and win the battle. Don't give in. Don't give up. Fight to win.

COMPLETE

Sometimes, I think we get so caught up in the things of this world. We constantly have something to fill that void but the thing never satisfies. The thing never lasts long, but we just change from thing to thing to thing. A new video game, some new music, some new boy or girl, some new sport and the list goes on. We constantly fill ourselves with things that are fleeting. What if we were to fill ourselves with Christ. We are complete in him and we would never have to seek anything again. We would never feel empty. We wouldn't have to search for happiness. We would just be in his presence and we would just be full of joy and love and peace. And He continues to satisfy, He is never changing... But he is constantly revealing Himself. He never stops showing himself real to us when we choose to chase him. He will show you himself more and more the more you chase him. And he is constantly changing you. He is constantly causing you to develop and become the woman of God that he created you to be. So leave the things of this world and chase him. And make yourself COMPLETE in Him.

When you love you, you will find others who love you too. #wearconfidence #beyou

What if we could actually wrap our minds around how vast the love of Christ is. The bible says we cannot comprehend how great His love actually is. The bible says that His love was and is the greatest love. His love is offered to us. His love surrounds us. His love is able to fill every void in our heart. So what if we could actually grasp that? Would we walk differently? Would we talk differently? If we were to truly grasp the love that He poured out on the cross. I bet we would live differently. Today seek out what the Lord did for you that day at Calvary. And everyday when you wake up, remind yourself of who He is, what He has done, and the life He gave for you. Now it's time to live for Him.

When we forget the why behind the what, things tend to fall apart. We loose our passion, our excitement for doing. The things we do become nothing more than a duty. So today ask yourself... "Why am I doing this?" And if it's meaningless then don't do it. But if it has meaning, if it is important, if it's something that will promote you in your future or something you love, or even once loved and did with passion... Do it with joy today knowing that what you are doing is not for nothing. ❤️ Your truly, Jane.

If you know me.. You probably know I'm not trying to impress a single soul. It is not even in me. Not a guy, not an employer, not anyone. The way I see it, if you like me, sweet, if not I'm not going to pretend I'm something that I am not. This is probably why I don't have a boyfriend. And I don't even care.

What do you do when someone else's choices alter the future you had always dreamt of? What do you do when every aspect of a situation is completely out of your hands? What do you do when you feel like something you have always wanted is no longer a possibility? You lean in on God. You read His word that is truth. You remember that your destiny isn't dependent on someone else or the choices that they make. You choose to trust that He has got you in the palm of His hands. He has not forgotten. He has not left. He has not made a mistake. He has you. And He already wrote your story. He already knows where you are and where he wants you. And it is greater than your WILDEST imaginations. He has a life of peace, joy, prosperity, blessings and love already laid out for you. All you have to do is trust him through the good, the bad, the ugly, the easy and the tough. Lean on Him and his promises. Follow His still small voice and I promise you, you will never be let down. ❤️

If you do not know something is truth, if it is maybe just an idea in your head or a thought that you are pretty sure of... You should shut your mouth. A gossiping tongue will always find confusion and mischief.

Friends do not get to pick and choose when they want to be around or when they want to do their own thing. Friends don't come around ONLY when it is convenient for them. Friends are friends. Through good or bad. Close or distant. Now and later. Friends stick it out through even the toughest of battles and they never ever ever give up on one another.

[just-j-a-n-e]

If someone is your friend, and loves you, and sees potential in you.. They will never stop challenging you. They will always be amazed by your strengths, but they will always consult with you about your weaknesses. Because they know how great you can be, and they want to see you become that.

Sometimes getting out a paper and pencil is the only way I know how to get myself to calm down. Writing helps me to rationalize my thought. And get what's going on inside, out.

nothing is better than waking up and being reminded that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, and that he is still king. He is still reigning. He is still in control.

[just-j-a-n-e]

If you want to reach your full potential, you have to be willing to face your fears and take on the greatest challenges. Because when you conquer your fears and overcome the things you thought you couldn't, you know you are capable of just about anything. Success has never been easy. But the reward has always been worth it.

[just-j-a-n-e]

When I wake up, my prayer is that the Lord would speak to me. That His spirit would lead me. I pray that I will be anointed to reach the I reached today. I pray that my mouth would speak the words of His heart. I pray that my hand would do the work of His ministry. And I pray that my feet would take me wherever He would go. Because my life if no longer my own. I want what He wants. So Lord, send me, use me. I just want to be where you are.

Your mistakes might define your past... But who you choose to be today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life will determine your future. Choose life.
