Lizzy's Footprints

          First things first when I speak of being boy crazy I don't mean that all girls are attracted to multiple guys at once, as the Urban dictionary describes it.  I simply mean that we get crazy over boys.  Each of us girls will reach a phase in life when we are single and desire to have a boyfriends, it is natural we are looking forward to the future.  As a young girl growing up watching romances and even reading romances, I thought I knew exactly what love was.  Sadly I had no clue what love was, because it wasn't what Hollywood portrayed.           Let's all be honest with each other, you are boy crazy.  Yes I am calling you out.  We all desire the attention of any guy.  We just want to be told we are beautiful, smart, or wise.  Have you ever found yourself liking a guy   because he said something nice to you once ?  It is nice to hear that you look pretty from one of your gi...

Today I got the blessing and opportunity to share my story at our new church. Click here>  The lifestream of tonight's service  to watch, I speak at the 45-minute mark.  You can also just read it below.           "Jesus wrecked my life, shattered it to pieces, and put it back together more beautifully.”   Katie Davis writes in her book Kisses from Katie.   Multiple times my life has been shattered , and God has built me into who I am today through those moments .   But my life moto has always been “If God bring s you to it, He can bring you through it.”         I have two older sisters and I have always been very close with both of them.  My eldest sister Stephanie, a school teacher lived closes to us and spent most weekends with us, she played a major role in my life.  I looked up to her , she was my older sister after all.  I n the summ...

     As life seams to speed up and the week comes to a close this song comes into my mind.  The world will always pull us deeper in but we are our best selves when we give God the rains and let Him tug on our hearts.  Pastor Charles Stanley once said, "Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally.  Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do."  The world is all about quick fixes, but God knows that our pain, or problems can be solved with his love.  Our Messiah came to fix our messes.  All we have to do is clear our stages and fix our eye toward our king. Listen to this song with an open heart, and open mind: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." - Romans 12:2       This is the constant battle all Christians face.  Not falling into the...

     I have an apology to make, none of you know me.  It isn't that I am not comfortable or myself around you but that each of you brings out different aspects of me.  Each of you knows me a little differently because each of you bring out a unique part of me, and you have been through different journeys with me.  Here are some of my different sides.  Let me know which one you know best, or if the side you know isn't listed. The Struggle is Real Side      If you know this side we relate on a deep level.  We probably have the same desires for our future.  You understand what I go through day to day from being a little boy crazy to wanting to eat junk food all the time.  Often times in our conversations I reply "ditto" or "same."  We grow closer as friends by being bad at the same things, the struggle is real.     Fandom Side      Don't tell anyone b...
