Happy September

September is a new month, just like how everyday of every year is always a new day. Fall season is right around the corner as summer finally comes to an end. Congrats you’ve made it to this month! Autumn is a beautiful time of the year with colorful leaves, pumpkin patches, and even a pumpkin spice latte to take a sip of. Let’s also not forget how nice the weather can be throughout this time of year.

We’re already going through the last 3 months of the year. August felt like it only lasted for a couple hours then comes September right in our eyes before you know it. If you ask me how I feel about this, I feel completely overwhelmed with everything that has happened this year. There are many both good and bad memories to remember that comes with lessons. Seasons come and go and nothing lasts forever, because everything is temporary. The memories are what’s permanent that stay with us to cherish and I couldn’t ask to be more thankful.

Through many good and bad times, I’m proud of myself for making it this far without giving up. Every time life knocks me down, I find a way to get back up on my feet again. It feels like God is testing me, but I know for a fact that it’s for a greater purpose. God puts me through hardships in order to prepare me for more blessings in the future, that’s why I will always trust in Him to guide me in life when things don’t always go as planned. His plans are by far greater than yours.

‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.’

Jeremiah 29:11

We’re all going through bumpy roads in this difficult time that feels like a never ending road. For those that have recently lost a loved one, you’re not alone. We shouldn’t feel pressured to heal right way when we should use this time to mourn as much as we can. I know that times like these can make it difficult for us to be positive, but our loved ones would definitely want us to be happy for them. I highly encourage everyone to keep going and know that it’s okay to not be okay. I pray that we all seek the comfort and happiness we deserve.

Time flies in a blink of an eye before you know it. We’re usually told that we have “a whole life ahead” of us while we’re still young, but many forget that sometimes our lives could also be taken away at any moment regardless of how old you are.

Please don’t waste your time not being serious or committed to anything. Life is seriously too short. Live the life that you love and choose your happiness. I can’t imagine wasting our precious time not knowing what could possibly happen next.

Learn how to love. Learn how to be considerate. Learn how to forgive. Learn how to appreciate. And most importantly, learn how to live. Learning is part of life and actions will always speak louder than words.

Reminder: You’re worthy and have so much love to give. It’s not too late to change to become a better version of you. You’re enough and should never settle for less.

Dear Lord, I pray that September will bring many blessings filled with joy. I pray that you give each and every one of us the strength to overcome trials and tribulations. I pray that you block out anything that is not meant for me and serves no purpose in my life. With every breath I take, I will trust in you to guide me to the right pathway and grow my faith. I am grateful for the life I’m given and will not want to waste it by being down all the time. I pray that kindness and positivity will fight the evil in this world. I pray for all the families to find light and peace soon. I pray for the ones to turn from their wicked intentions and seek God within their hearts.

Amen.
