Riverbanks

Today, I hope to inspire you with some inspiration.

I love this one because even though school, homework, tests, and exams are important, there's more to life. What happened to life experiences? Those are supposed to be the things that shape us into successful individuals.


I need to enjoy the present and appreciate my blessings!


It is hard not to worry!! I'm a worrier!!

 I don't want to complain or sound ungrateful or pathetic, but I have been going through a valley in my life. Those pivotal times when you want to propel downward as far as you can, curl up in a ball and hide.

I am going to be the best version of me!!!



What I have realized through these moments of constant prayer, teeth grinding, and knuckle popping moments is that first of all, I worry WAY too much. It's not worth it. Worrying isn't changing anything. I've also realized that I only have one life and I am wasting my beautiful one yearning for something better. I feel selfish thinking this way, but I feel so lonely at times. I am now on a mission to relax, lay back, and enjoy my journey. No matter where I'm going, it is not going to be worth the tears and stress if the journey wasn't enjoyable.


I need to sit back and listen to Lord and accept his guidance!



I am going to leave a trail and create a new path!! I am going to release my fear of failure into the ocean!! I am going to smile and laugh and cry!!


Thank you for listening!!!!!!! There's no need to tell you what's going on because it will get better!!

I hope you feel the presence of the Lord this weekend!!

*******My family is going back down to Naples, FL for Easter/ Spring Break! What are your plans??

XOXO,

Friendly Ramblings


Hello! Sorry I haven't blogged in months. Unfortunately, my winter funk has continued throughout these past months. Much has happened, much has stayed the same. Today was gorgeous. The sun shone in the sky. Birds chirped. Trees are beginning to grow leaves. Life is beautiful again. So today I felt I owed it to the world to post. There are many ramblings in my brain today, so I apologize in advance.

Welcome Pope Francis! I am so excited to welcome a new leader to our faith. What a renewed light shining upon us. I have been fortunate enough to attend Catholic school and learning about the conclave and walking through this pope election process has been the highlight of my year. News stations also came to our school and I was interviewed!!! Such an enlightening experience!

My knees. Weak knees. They've forced me to quit volleyball and sit out PE for 6 weeks. I am physical therapy. I would go more in depth, but I'm tired of focusing on the negative.

There are many words I need to say which remain unspoken. I'm ready to share them, but not quite yet.

Stay Safe. Remain Strong. Pray Peacefully. Help Others. You are worthy of the promises of Christ.

With sincere gratefulness,
Sarah Elizabeth
