Hello, dolls. I am totally feeling this very simple summertime blues look. I am loving very loose, flowy, airy pieces right now. It's so hot that do not want anything clingy. If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen me make a guilty confession.

I hate to admit it, but my closet is 5% summer, 5% spring, and 90% fall/winter layering. I'm over summer. Bring on fall!

Does anyone else agree? To be honest, the full heat is giving me the blues, hence my attire. Can you tell that I have spent absolutely zero time in the sun. I guess that is my excuse for being so m.i.a lately. I just do not get out much during these ultra hot days. It takes the breath out of me just thinking about it. I absolutely can not handle the heat. I mean, I can't be the only one who would rather go to the beach in October or November.

Has anyone else just been feeling super disheartened about all that is going right now in the world? I mean literally every single day there seems to be something bad going on somewhere. I feel like I see a tragedy every single day. I will not even watch the news any more. I just get so worked up and stressed out every single time I turn it on. I kind of feel like that is their goal anyway, and I am tired of getting sucked into their traps. I am tired of their "conditioning", but that is a whole other topic for a whole different day.

The more that I see and hear, the sadder I get for the future. I mean honestly for the history of the U.S this was a sad summer. I can feel a rumbling all around. So much heart ache. So much hurt. So much deceit. So much drama. So much strife. So many lies. So much death. I just want it all to end. Sometimes I feel so bad that I am just sitting over here living a blissful life while there is so much going on all around me. I have to stay that way though. If not, I would probably hate everything, and I have been there before. I refuse to go back. That is what I want to help you with today.

Do you think that a happy life is impossible? It's not.

I have tried to come up with a way to talk about this topic in a way that won't stop people from reading it as soon as I say it; but there just isn't a way. Frankly, I shouldn't even be concerned amount it, and I won't be anymore. Living a happy life can be so much easier than most people think. I want to help every person that I can have a happier life. Sometimes (for whatever reason I do not know) people contact me about how I made such a huge life turn around. They proceed to tell me their issues and ask for advice or "help". Most do not like what I have to say when they realize that I won't enter into a pity party on their behalf. I know that wouldn't be helpful to them in the long run. They need to hear the truth, and that is what a true friend does. A true friend speaks the truth because they love you. Only those who don't really love you tell you what you want to hear.

I just wish that I could show EVERY SINGLE person how much happier life could be with the addition of this one single thing. This one simple thing. Dare I say it. GOD. IF you see a difference in me, that is what it is. This is the only way. There is no magical zen formula, or a happy pink drink, or person, or any amount of money that can make you happy. The ONLY way you can even begin to get ahead with this life is through Him. The only way you can find fulfillment IS through Him.

Money, I am here to tell you, isn't real! I know you have heard that before, but it's true. Oh, the times I have heard "If I could only have this, I would be happy.", or "If I just made this amount of money, we'd be set." Guys, it's a lie. No matter how rich or poor you are there will always be issues. That is because fulfillment will never come from that. The rich face just as many money issues as the poor, theirs are just different types of issues.

Marrying Mr. So Hot won't make you happy... for long, if you don't have God. Excitement can fade. Looks will fade. Marriage takes work. (But I am declaring in the name of Jesus that Jereme and I will not notice any of those things. ;) ) Children take work. I have never seen any of those things turning out successful without God. Its statistically impossible.

I have learned a few things in my short life so far. One, is that all of my happiness and freedom has come solely from trusting in the Lord. Trusting that Jesus is Lord is like protective band-aid, and trusting in Him to direct your life is like the magical healing ointment. And let me tell you, I have a lot of cuts.

At first, it was REALLY hard for me to do. I definitely have trust issues, and I have for a really long time. When I first chose to life for the Lord, it was almost stifling for me. I was so afraid of doing the wrong thing, that I would have rather done nothing than do something that was possibly bad. I had to re-learn how to live again. I now know that it was because of my severe lack of trust. I thought I could even pick and choose which areas I would allow Him to rule and I would take care of the others. Well, that is not how it works. I also had to learn that you can't manipulate life with your own wants and agendas and pretend that God said it was His will. You have to surrender to Him and His plan for you and actually listen and obey Him not yourself.

When I chose to surrender my trust to Him in all areas of my life (my finances, my love live, my family, my friends, my home, my meals, my clothes, my everything), I can't even describe to you the doors that opened up for me, and wow what a revelation that was. How free it was.

Some days, I will be honest, I have to remind myself every five minutes to trust Him. Somedays I am not even very good at it, but I really try my hardest to not disappoint God with my daily walk. And at the end of the day when I screwed it up, I ask for forgiveness and what a free feeling it is to know that I am forgiven. I pray that for you.

My friends the time is now. Turn to Him before it is too late. I can not promise you a life without troubles, but I can promise that the only way to bear troubles will be found in Jesus Christ. How can you bear it without Him? Stop chasing empty things. Try it, I dare you. You can only go up from here. You are not your past. I pray that if you are down to nothing that you will learn that God is up to something and through Him you can have a changed happy life. You can even live a happy life amongst all of the turmoil of this time, and who doesn't want that? If you don't know where to start, I can tell you.
