What I Am Doing This Lent! (Religious Sundays #3)

          Happy Sunday! It is the 2nd Sunday in Lent, and this week I thought I would talk about what I am doing to be more sacrificial and better for Jesus. This is my first Lent since I feel like I have truly become a devout Catholic Christian, and I was/am very excited for Lent so I can become better in the eyes of God. So I am pumped to tell you guys what I am doing for Lent.
           For the record, Lent is not a season where you are showing others what you are doing for God, but rather you are just being sacrificial for God to respect Him. I am aware of this,but I am writing this post to hopefully inspire some people to give up something for Lent. I know it has already started, but better late than never.
            So the thing that I gave up this Lent is really basic of me, but I normally have cookies after lunch, so I gave up treats after lunch. This hasn't been too difficult, so in addition I try to limit the junk I have after dinner as well. This has been something that I have to think about, and then I think about why I am doing it when it comes to be lunch time, and I have no regrets whatsoever.
            Lent is not just about giving up things, but also about just becoming better in the eyes of God. Therefore, I decided that I would be reading 10 chapters of the Bible everyday so I can understand the word of God better. I love this because this helps me understand all of the miracles that He accomplished, and I always feel much more appreciative after reading it. I am almost done with the New Testament, and am a little more than halfway done with the Old Testament, so I cannot wait to finish reading them and then start diving more deeply into the books.

I completely recommend giving up something for Lent, even if it is something small. Also I recommend learning more about Jesus and his Passion as well. If you ever want to talk about religion, or anything just leave me a comment with your email!

Love,
Elizabeth

Dual Action Moisturizer (Which is better? On Brand Or OffBrand? #2)(Blogmas 2016 #4)

      A post that I am very proud of, and that many of you wonderful readers really seemed to enjoy, was my Which Is Better? On Brand, or Off Brand Beauty Blender Edition . I decided to make it a little series because I realize that I love a good dupe, and I want you to join in my journey to great dupes! So welcome to another On-Brand or Off-Brand post!        I think every person can agree that moisturizer is something that is a necessity in a skincare routine, especially in this upcoming winter season! I know in the winter I get very dry skin, and I know that moisturizer can get quite expensive, so I thought I would try out a store brand moisturizer, and compare it to a Clean and Clear moisturizer that I already knew I loved.      These are the two moisturizers that I will be comparing in this post! The clean and clear advantage dual action moisturizer (I know this one is slightly different but I have used both!), and the Walmart...

Life Is Happening RIGHT NOW

           One thing that I have really discovered about myself within the past year is that I am way too focused on the future. I often find myself planning my future down to the last detail, and daydreaming.               But let me tell you something. This does not get you anywhere. I realized that I was legitimately spending my life just thinking about a life I dreamed of and planning my future in my mind. However, I soon came to realize that life is happening right now. I am living a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life now, and if I keep daydreaming excessively I will be living more in my fantasy than in my reality. Though this may sound great, reality is truly wonderful.                I soon began to realize, 'oh dang, I must stop daydreaming'. So that is what I did. I prayed, and I worked hard to stop my daydreaming tendencies. Now I have severely cut down the amount of t...

How I Have Deepened My Faith

            A few months ago God truly found me. I knew I wanted to start a relationship with God and with Jesus,but I did not how to begin this faithful journey in my life. However, here I am a few months later and I feel more spiritual than ever. I know I still have a lot to learn,but you always do when it comes to Christ. Here are my tips for starting a relationship with Christ. 1. Pray This is so simple ,but so true. I pray so much. I pray every morning when I wake up to thank God for a safe night. I pray when I am aware I have sinned. I pray before I, or my family eats. I pray before I go to bed. I pray a lot in between. Praying does not have to be a set prayer, you can legitimately just talk to God. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but you get the hang of it as you practice. Remember God knows that you are new to this, and he knows that you are trying and he will help you to learn to pray better. Remember, do not just pray for things, pr...
