Abortion kills, My mom saved me!

I want to take time out of my life to appreciate my mom. Happy Mother’s day! My mom gave me life nineteen years ago. She endured pain beyond belief and yet she still had me. My mom is a hero….literally. The doctor told her that it would be wise if she would just abort me. Out of courage and unconditional love my mom gave me a second chance. I am very appreciative to her decision.

Abortion is an ugly issue that should not continue to happen but it does. Humans think they have a right to kill the baby inside them but YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT. Everyone in this world was created for a purpose and you are stopping a human that is great a short life. I am one to say that I am honored my mom kept me and did not think about even consider aborting me. God made adoption centers for a reason but yet we would rather kill this innocent child. Do we even understand how great this baby can be? No, out of selfish reasons we destroy just like how society teaches us. We need to stand up and let others know that there is no shame for having a baby. Wake up America, abortion survivors’ live amazing lives. Do not give into the world because they think it is right. Abortion is a choice that does not just affect you but it touches the life of the baby. You can never get back your child. Again, I will repeat myself: you will never get back your child. I live a happy, healthy life ready to change the world by letting people know that God loves them.

Thank you Mommy! You gave me the privilege to live life. You give me everything I need to be successful, you constantly love me especially when I do not deserve it, and you are a wonderful mom. I am honored to be your daughter. I love you!!!!!!

Be Beautiful- Part 4

Dating! A hard topic to talk about. I must admit that I have a huge problem with dating. Girls and guys want to feel something more when they date. They want to feel beautiful, loved and cared for by the opposite sex. I have this so-called “dating to feel beautiful syndrome” and many other people in the world have it too. I thought that having a boyfriend would make me more attractive and wanted by guys. I was WRONG! Dating does nothing but puts a temporary band aid on an unsolved problem. You end up wishing that you can feel more beautiful to get other guys. While you are at it you hurt others and get hurt by others. It’s a vicious cycle that is never ending.

I have learned that you do not have to date to feel beautiful. God made you beautiful.

Genesis 1:27
“So God created man in his own image,
In the image of God he created him;
Male and female he created them.”

How do we know that we are beautiful? God created you in His image. Wow, I reread this verse. I am in awe that God so big would create me and then create me beautiful. What? Yes, it is true. Look around, we are beautiful. Do not let a guy or girl make you think otherwise.

Truth: God made you in His image.
Lie: Beauty depends on dating.
Truth: You are beautiful.
Lie: The world thinks dating determines your beauty and you shall follow the world.
Truth: Beauty is WHO you are for God created you.

By understanding the truth, you will be able to feel beautiful. No one is ugly. My Father in Heaven thinks we ALL are beautiful. Live by the truth not by the world.

Remember you are BEAUTIFUL!

Be beautiful
The truth behind tattoos and piercings is a beautiful thing. Quick confession before I explain what I mean. I have always wanted both a tattoo and my ears pierced. Okay I am glad that I got that off my chest. Here it goes, plain and simple, tattoos and piercings alter Gods perfect image. I understand they look cool and side note I am not saying you should not get one. Tattoos and piercings are a huge debatable topic. They say something about whether it is positive or negative. Be wise in your decision, for it might be there longer than you think.

For something amazing happened when tattoo and piercings became part of a lifestyle. Think about this, close your eyes if you have to, now think of a man who only did good because He was perfect. Now think about what He did for you. Yes, you! Jesus was pierced three times; three nails attached Him to a piece of wood. Now we when we get saved we get a tattoo in our hearts. It says “I love you and I will never forsake you.” Jesus is tattooed on our hearts and stays with us. I love how inspirational this is. Through His three piercings we are able to get tattooed. The very best tattoo may I add. God knows your heart and knows if you have accepted the tattoo of Jesus to save yourself from sin. Accept the way that God made you, for He made you perfect. Remember that the tattoo of life is a beautiful thing.

Jesus made you,BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

BE BEAUTIFUL! (part 2)

Mirror, mirror on the wall how much weight do I have to lose after all? The mirror can be and is to many a self-confidence crusher. I want to tell you that it does not have to be a judging advice or a hurtful tool. It is all about what you see and the truth.

This week a random occurrence came about when I was at school. I was sitting by myself at a picnic table under the beautiful sky that God created that day. I was patiently waiting for my friends while I was finishing up some homework and eating my lunch before my next class. When a man dressed very professional came up to me I knew change was involved. He told me about this great offer an exercise company has for students at my particular college. It includes a coupon to get yoga classes and facials. I was very silent when I told the man that I was not interested even though I knew I was. I was in denial the rest of the day and continued the argument inside my head. I know that I am neither skinny nor overweight but I feel that I need to lose weight in order to feel good about myself. I constantly hear lies from the world. “Avonlea, please understand that you need to lose weight.” Or “Avonlea, are you serious? Look in the mirror you need to lose that fat around your waist!”

Now here is something everyone needs to hear. God made you perfect in His image. I love that. I know that I am going to have some harsh criticism about myself but ultimately God says I made you perfect. Wow! I do not need to lose weight or get yoga class in order to feel good about myself. I am able to stand in the mirror to declare that God did a perfect job! I know it is hard sometimes to feel beautiful but remember the most beautiful thing in the world is when you recognize His beauty. Now I am confident, beautiful and free.

Remember that God made you perfect in His image. You are BEAUTIFUL!

What is beauty?

Society tells us that we need to dye our hair, wear makeup, get liposuction, and much more. Is that really how we want to spend our lives? I guess that is a matter of opinion. I believe that society is spreading one of the hugest lies in mankind. It takes away who we are as a person and we live out the lie. Self-image is a tough subject that everyone goes through because we are human. Why do we listen to society? Is it because the makeup makes you feel confident, or is it because our wallets do the talking for our hair upon the enormous amounts of dye? We end up caring so much what think society decides for beauty and destroy the person who we should be.

I want to touch on a heavy subject. Makeup! Every girl imagines waking up in the morning to put on her face. Wrong, this is one of the many lies society tells us. Girls, young ladies, and women of all ages are not accepted if they go the natural look. We get mocked and crushed for not hiding our flaws. Why should we? So what if I have a zit on my chin that looks like Mount Everest or have freckles. I think everyone, no matter who you are, is beautiful. Makeup has become the social norm because of the advertisers and money involved for these big businesses. Let me ask you something would you feel comfortable if all the makeup in the world never existed?

Jesus does not have makeup for He is natural. I will clarify Jesus did not hide anything. He knew what was going to happen and went through everything instead of lying to himself. He defined beauty by stepping out naturally. He did not cover His love for God but did the very opposite He told the world. Unmasked and exposed Jesus took the first step into beauty so let’s take the second and so on.

Remember that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

P.S My little sister made the image. She did an amazing job! Thank you sister! <3

Controlling my emotions!

I smile.
I laugh.
I cry.
I love.
I hurt.
I am human.

Today was an eye opening day for me. It was filled with all the things that I can not do. I have tons of emotions. How to control them? Blogging is my way on communicating my feelings. My feelings get in the way sometimes and that just sucks. I assure you that if you have the same problem, do not worry for Jesus can help you. Through Christ I am able to express myself because He already knows my heart. My emotions are always going to be judge by someone but God will never judge me.

I can smile.
I may laugh.
I will cry.
I try to love.
I do hurt.
I AM human AND God loves me!

Do not change who you are just because someone on this Earth judges you. Remember that in Gods perfect and unconditional love we are perfect for He created us in His image. Love yourself and most importantly love others.

About 6645 days of love!

My mom is not just a mom. She is a friend, a shoulder to cry on, a gift from above, and always there for me. My mom loves me more than anything and sometimes I do not thank her enough. That is why I am blogging about my mom today. By the way Mother’s Day does not have to be once a year. You may ask what makes my mom so much more special than anyone else’s mom. Here is the answer plain and simple; she loves me. It is tough being a mom of six children and knowing all the responsibilities it holds, not an easy job. Out of the 365 days a years, she loves me every single one. I have been a hard child to take care of for the past 19 almost 20 years but she has not ever once loved me less. Her love pours out like a fountain. I love the fact that I can talk to her. When I have a bad day she knows. I do not even have to say anything she just knows me. My mom is a miracle in my life! I am glad God that chose my mom to be mom. He did the very best job and He doesn’t make mistakes. My mom is not just a good mom, but only the best of the best. She did a great job raising me especially when times got tough. The most important thing that I have learned for my mom is life may be hard but God is always holding your hand through it. Thank you for mom! You work so hard for me even when I do not deserve it.

I love you always and forever!!!!!!!
