What if.





  • What if we lived every day as if it were our last.
  • What if instead of wasting time on social media we went out and started talking to people & taking interest in their lives.
  • What if instead  of worrying about  what others think of us , we turn our eyes and focus on God and, ask him to direct our lives. 
  • what if we stopped hating one another over stupid things and, instead throw caution & hurt to the wind and, begin asking God to give us L O V E. 
  • What if we recognized each and every moment for what it is. a treasure. 
  • What if we began to look at ourselves & others the way God does. With love and compassion.  
we could go on with What Ifs for a long time. but i think the most important question is this.

WHAT IF you could not only say all the things I've mentioned above but, do them as well.
w h a t   t h e n ?

 You see, in order for there to be a change in society we need to be willing to change ourselves. And thats hard.
It's so easy to see other people's faults and problems and, turn a blind eye on our own.
But here's the thing I want to start LIVING the way God wants us to.
 Start acting the way He expects us to. And begine loving How He loves. 
Because when its all said and done, the only way anything can change for us is to BE THE CHANGE. 
So I'm going to stop thinking about myself and start noticing the ones who really matter. 
people


I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS SUBJECT + A PERSONAL STORY ON HOW YOU HAVE MAYBE  STRUGGLED  WITH  SOME OF THE THINGS I JUST MENTIONED. 











Happiest times are spent with a book in hand.

    2. Yes, The Bible says that we are the light of the world in other words we are to shine the light of Jesus Christ in us to those.

  4. So, so true, Janelle. <3 I saw a quote awhile back that said "if you want to see a change, be the change." Let's defy the norm and love like He does. <3

  5. Truth! I have actually been pondering this same subject as well. How often I judge others and the world without realizing that change starts with me. But ultimately change starts when we realize how much we need Jesus and the world needs Jesus. He is the ONLY SOLUTION.
