The Questions I Am thinking today...

I have many questions that I through my mind every day.

How will I keep up with how busy I make my life?
If I have to pay for this how will I afford that?
How do I get to where I want to be?
How can I be a light in this world?
How can I be better prepared for what God wants?
And so on and so forth...

The most important thing that has been on my mind lately is one thing...
What was God thinking when He made me?

I know He made me who I am, and I know he made me to worship but every day lately I am learning something new about myself. I just wonder how He made this 19 year old, teeny five foot 2 strawberry blonde with a big voice and crazy quirks to be so complex to the point that I find new things every day. But I decided that I am blessed to be able to keep getting to know myself, I pray I never stop. I am learning to love myself, a big feat for a nineteen year old in this world.

I do not know what He was thinking when He made me but I am sure excited to find out someday, for now I am going to keep worshipping and living. I love my life, crazy in all.

What do you think God was thinking when He made you?


Favorite things for today? Here they are...

Who Am I? What makes me, me?

Lately I have had a lot of things happen that have been making me wonder who exactly I am.
I know who I am but this world tries very hard to break that down, so I came to the realization that I should list out some things that I know I am...
Here goes:
I am a young woman, obviously.
I am a strawberry blonde, though some would say redhead or ginger. It is also natural other than the random stripes I put in it every now and then that are temporary.
I am a worshiper. I am a singer. I am a moderate piano player and guitar player, and I love it all.
I am an encourager. That may not make much sense but I love to encourage people, I love it. I love lifting people up.
I am an overcomer, by the grace of God I am where I am today and my future is bright.
I am a pattern lover, I love all patterns.
I am a crafter and DIY-er.
I am an animal lover, I have many animals and want more and I even have bottle-fed and fostered baby kittens.
I am a good person, despite what others think sometimes from the things they have heard from others. I am not a bad person, I just listen to what God says above all others and sometimes that upsets people.
I have changed and will continue to keep changing. I'm afraid of change, but I am working on getting over that.
I believe in exercising and eating right, but not obsession. Nothing should become an idol, not even looking great and being healthy.
I believe in God, I believe in Him not because some religion says I have to, but because He has shown me over and over again that He will never leave me or forsake me and that He is for me and to me that is Beautiful.
I am a lot more than what people see in this five foot two shell. I pray that I can be a light in every place I go.

I am me, I am Alexis Grace. Everything is great and Life is good because I am who I am and no one can change me to make me who I am not.  I am blessed.

Who are you?

Your Love Has Ravished My Heart...

Those lyrics to the song "Closer" by Bethel have been stuck in my head for weeks now, I have no idea why. Thought I would share, It is such a great song and very anointed.

Look it up. Really. Its good.

Anyways since I decided to get back on this blog I decided to share my big news of the year so far: I am going to Evangel University in Springfield, MO this fall!

I will be a Worship Leadership Major in the Music program and I am beyond thrilled. I am also scared out of my mind to leave Georgia because I know that this means I probably will never be a permanent resident of this great state again now that I am on this crazy journey with God. I guess I have always been on this journey though.  I also will be leaving my sweet lab rescue and vizsla with my parents for the next few years... heartbreaking but so much better than trying to bring them and keep two active dogs in an apartment that I cannot afford. They need the acreage that my parents have, so I guess I am doing what is best for them and being a good mom, just wish it was not so hard to think about.
I loved Springfield though when I visited, it was lovely and even though it is almost 15 hours from home, it will be a great place to live ;)


Now on to posting today's favorite things and I promise to update this blog more often.

I really love teacups and flowers and garden art and of course hedgehogs, any of these things are a way straight to my heart :)

Also, anything DIY or vintage I find totally adorable :) Oh and chocoloate covered exspresso beans, lattes, odwalla juice(mango tango) and Izze juice... Amazing things!

Love and Blessings,
