My name is Lilly
I've been around for eighteen years
I was born and raised in a small town
in Wisconsin.
I gave my life to God about 5 years ago,
ever since I have been growing in Him
finding my purpose in this life on earth.
And this blog is just a small insight
to my thoughts and life!

read my posts,
ask me questions,
send me prayer requests
whatever floats your boat!

2013 Seniors!
Well High School, It’s Been Real.
Last day was yesterday, practice tomorrow, graduation Sunday. Now I’m probably not going to see the majority of these people, that I’ve spent most of my school career with, for the rest of my life. Bittersweet I suppose, but I’m glad it’s over. I’m ready to move on. Once this summer wraps up I’ll be on my way down to Florida. Crazy.
lol. BEST THING EVER.

Putting Away the Hair Straightener, Blow Dryer, and More.
Recently I decided I really wanted to grow my hair out again and hopefully have it long by the end of summer. I knew if I kept up with how I treat my hair it wouldn’t grow like I wanted it too. I figured if I stepped back from all those heat tools and some products it would help.
After a couple days without those things I held so dear to my daily rituals of getting ready, I really hated my hair. I felt ugly. I felt like I needed those things to make me beautiful. So I went back to using those things for a little bit until I realize what I was saying.
God made me beautiful, I AM His masterpiece. So now that I realized how depended on these things to make me feel good about myself, I’m going to limit myself away from them. Is it bad to want to look good? No, but when you’re concentrating on it and taking a lot of your time on perfecting the way you look I believe you’re making it into an idol. Our hearts are so easily swayed by the things of this world, the things we think we want.
For now, until the end of summer (with a couple exceptions), I’m going to not focus on my looks as much. I’ll probably still try to look good, but naturally, limiting my make up, hair tools, and such. I can’t be dependent on these things, looking for satisfaction by compliments or myself “feeling good”. I don’t need more self confidence, I need God confidence, confidence in His love and His plans.
