Finding Peace and Calmness in Christ - Life, Travel, and Jesus

        Howdy, everyone! Today I am going to be talking about finding peace and calmness in the Lord. Sometimes finding comfort in God is not always easy, but can be done. Honestly, I have had ups and downs in my life with trying to find peace and calmness in my life, but I have been improving. In life, we will experience things that will disrupt serenity, but in the end, God is in control. Here are a few scripture-based tips on how to have peace and calmness in your life.

        Prayer is a vital step to maintaining calmness. Philippians 4:6-7 says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." God wants us to come to Him with our requests. He also wants us to be thankful when presenting our requests and not have anxious. What if someone has an anxious heart while praying? That is something to pray about while praying for calmness.

        Memorize scripture and do what the Bible says. Joshua 1:8-9 commands us "8. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you should meditate on it day and night according to what is written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9. Have I not commanded you. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Have you thought about why God does not want you to be afraid? God does not want us to be afraid, because He is always with us. God has given us scripture that He has breathed for us to grow closer to Him (2 Timothy 3:16-17). When we draw close to God and make ourselves clean, He will draw near to us (James 4:8). What these three scriptures tell me in this paragraph is to come close to God by reading His word. When we follow God's word, and not our own way we will have peace. This goes well with proverbs 3:5-6 as well. As an end result, if we meditate on God's word and have the desire to come closer to Him, He will draw near to us.

        My last tip is to have fellowship. Acts 2:42 says "And they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." As Christians' we should devote ourselves to fellowship with one another. Acts 2:42 is a perfect example of how we should teach God's word together, have fellowship, and pray for one another. This brings me back to my first point about prayer. We need to be praying for one another and finding peace and calmness together in Christ.

        That wraps up today's blog, I hope you all enjoyed reading it. Do not forget to stay tuned for more blogs in the future. My Instagram is @haleyowensblog if you would like to follow me there.g

Easy Ways to Stay Organized - Life, Travel, and Jesus

            Do you find it hard to stay organized? Do you want to be better organized? Well, I'm here to help you. I have been organizing for years. Going to college also opened my eyes to more ways to be and stay organized. Over the past few years, I have learned so much about organizing, and I am here to share the information with you. Here are my organization tips and how you can stay organized too. Folders/Binders           Having folders or binders is perfect for helping you stay organized. Wheatear it is for school, work, or tax information, these will help you keep track of what you have. With folders and binders, you can buy a label maker and label everything clearly. You can also do this online online as well (Amazon Lists and Google Drive). In school, I use different folders for each class as needed. I also have one separate folder for paper homework. Agenda/Planner           An agenda is perfect to buy if you want to organize your day-to-day activities. Having an agenda

Lake and Beach Fun! Vacation 2023 - Haley Owens

Image
          Howdy, everyone! I am super excited to share my vacation blog with everyone. Vacation was so much fun for my family and I. We drove to South Carolina and North Carolina to visit the beach and lake with extended family. Overall, I enjoyed my experience on vacation.           Vacation first started out in South Carolina. My immediate and extended family stayed at a lake house with a boat. Most days looked like riding in the boat and going for a swim. One  thing my sister, dad, and I did was take a walk through a forest park in the area.          The next destination my family went to is Wilmington, North Carolina. Here, we went to a beach town. Most of our days looked like renting a boat, swimming, surfing, or riding bikes. During our time there, we found a small café named Sunday's Café. Their chai tea was the best.          Overall, I enjoyed vacation. Going to North and South Carolina and spending time with family was great. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazon Necessities - College Edition

          Howdy everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today, I am going to talk about Amazon finds for college students. I will show everyone the low down on college essentials I love on Amazon. If you plan on shopping online, you are in the right place. I am contemplating creating an Amazon influencer account so you can shop there instead of going back and forth to my blog and Amazon looking at college products. I can also do this for my monthly favorites. If you would like me to do this, let me know. Let's get into my favorite Amazon finds.      1. Surge protector. A surge protector is perfect for students with multiple plugs (lamp, phone, laptop, coffee maker, and more). Not only that, but the surge protector will protect your electronics from damage during power outages.      2. Storage ottomans. In case you have a high-rise bed, invest in some storage ottomans. Not only can these be used for storage, but since what you are buying is an ottoman (or ottomans) this is also a great place
