Spread the Love.

When thinking of Valentine's Day, one usually thinks
couples.
boyfriends.
girlfriends.
kissing.
candy.
teddy bears.
cards.
balloons.
hearts.
red && pink.

But when you get real with it all, isn't Valentine's Day ultimately about showing, sharing, and sending love to someone? 

I mean does it really have to be a significant other?

Can't it just be your best friend in the whole world that you know you couldn't live a day without speaking to?

Or what about a mom or dad, or even a relative you haven't spoken to in a long time?

So on this day, or even if it is tomorrow, or later on in the week; Do something loving for someone.

Do something loving everyday, for the rest of the week, while thinking about
 the true meaning of love.


1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Make up with someone you have been on bad terms with.

Give a compliment.
Smile at a stranger.
Tell your best friend how much they mean to you.
Pet your puppy that you haven't spent much time with in a while :)
Apologize or ask for forgiveness for something that has been weighing you down.
Say a prayer for someone in need.
Call your grandma and talk to her about her day.
Tell someone you love them.

There is so much more behind Valentine's Day than just roses and smoochy couples.

Everything is what you make it!

So step out of the kissy kissy day.
Make it a day or a week to make a difference in someone's life even if for only a moment;
you never know what kind of impact you could have!

So that's my challenge.
Now go do it :)
Spread some love, baby.
See how rewarding it can be.

To all of you reading this, I love you and hope you had a wonderful Monday <3!

I would love to write much more in this post tonight with all that is on my mind, but there is just no time for that this week. Next week will be wonderful and I will be bursting with posts... I hope :) 

For now, this is what I've got today.


So that is that.
If I die today, I would want you to take this challenge.
xo, Jell.

Living in the world, while trying to follow by faith in the Word. Yep: the struggle is real.

In the midst of our chaotic, busy, go-go-go mentality type world that we live in these days, I wanted to take a minute of reflection of some deep rooted pain I’ve been experiencing , and the freedom and wisdom I’ve gained from enduring it . I wanted to take a moment to write about that, and share the growth, strength,  and fruitful blessings that are available  to all of us through the power of The Cross. It’s a fight I’ve been battling through, and I pray someone else may be able to relate while reading this page, and be inspired while leaving it.   Much of my life I have practiced the habit of ignoring God’s signs,  pushes, and plans for my life; of being completely and totally self-indulgent.  I’ve chosen my ways over His time and time and time again. Not because I have any desire to disobey Him; my heart is set on quite literally the opposite. But this world that we live in doesn’t encourage us to walk by faith… to follow “Emmanuel: God with us.” The world ...

Feelings Lately.

This songs words touch me so greatly. One can only guess who it reminds me of. </3 Remember, no matter how easy you think it will be, or how ready you are for it, goodbyes are never easy; never . I just have to keep thinking it's not goodbye, only see ya' later.  But goodness; it is so much easier said than done. So that is that. If I die today, I would want you to know&hear this. xo, Jell.

Wonderful Happiness.

Yesterday, I worked on monologues, read some plays, had time at the gym, and fasted. I fasted for a church wide pray and fast day and nearly died; literally. But kept my prayers going and ended up makin it through 24 successful hours without eating! I was very proud of myself :). Note to everyone: if you are fasting, do not go do an intense work out. Not a good idea. The entire Turner Center almost saw me pass out in the middle of the gym yesterday. Ha. It wasn't funny then, but it is now. :) I came home last night and was planning to have a quiet night in by myself and be a bit of a bum.  However, I decided to have a couple friends over for tea and talk :) Kelly and Christian came and chilled for a little while and then had to leave to go to Wal Mart. Though I was planning to stay in for the evening, they told me to come, so I did, got some groceries, and then they talked me into spending the night with them! We hung out, made nachos and brownie bites at 12:30 am when I was ab...
