Let Go & Let God :)

I’ve been reading an AMAZING book, in my opinion, and therefore wanted to share the main concept of it. Please take this advice and pick it up as a longtime lifestyle, “Do Yourself A Favor, FORGIVE” ♥ We’ve all been hurt and have had people in our lives where they do us wrong, BUT honestly, what good is it to hold a grudge? To hold hate in our hearts for days, months or even years, when the person who hurt you in the first place has moved on? Nope, there’s no point at all.

R-E-G-R-E-T

When we think of regret, we think negatively. We look at “regret” as something that should have never happened. I don’t blame you because that’s just precisely the definition of it.

REGRET: Verb

• Feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over something that has happened or been done.

• Express disappointment for something unfortunate or unpleasant.   

HOWEVER, regret isn’t so negative as how standard dictionaries define it. In other words, regret can be good. Being able to regret something can be a lifetime instruction of what NOT to repeat ever again.

So remember how I told you guys I found this canvas while out shopping a few days ago? Well I bumped into it again yesterday and knew it was a sign. I HAD TO GET IT. So I bought it and it’s sitting in my room waiting to be hung. I’m a hopeless romantic and when I love, I LOVE DEEP. So this frame is my sign of hope that TRUE LOVE EXISTS. It’s out there somewhere guys…NEVER GIVE UP ON LOVE BECAUSE LOVE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT GOD COULD EVER GIVE YOU!!!

LOVE is… 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Meet my HANDSOME puppy Prince ♥
I’m NOT kidding when I say this, but when I first laid eyes on this dog at a dollar store, it was LOVE at first sight. I knew this had to be my first dog. From day one, he has been the biggest BLESSING because he always knows how to make me smile. It’s true when they say that a dog is man’s best friend. I can be gone for hours and leave him all alone at home, but as soon as he see’s me walk through that door, he greets me like I was the queen of the world. All I ever receive from him is LOVE, unconditional love. Everyday I tell him that he’s my little man and the only man who will never break my heart :) Then he licks me as if he was telling me that I was right lol YESS…I’M ONE OF THOSE THAT TALKS TO HER DOG!!!

XOXO, MariaLA

FACT:

I am an HONEST WOMAN and because of that, I FEAR NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! If I fall seven times, you know what I do? I STAND UP EIGHT. God is with me. He will never forsake me…or anyone. ♥

Be Mine?

A year holds 365 days and out of those 365, one day is reserved for LOVE. Grant it, you shouldn’t have to wait till February 14th to show your affection and appreciation to those you love. That should be done everyday, every second and every moment you can because truth be told, we don’t know how long any of us will last in this world. But that’s a whole other topic on life’s agenda. Sticking to LOVE… I’m the type of girl that loves cheesy and corny moments. In others words, I’m a sucker for romance. So indeed, Valentines Day is a day that I like to go all out.

There is Always A Time for Everything

Happiness is believing that everything you go through is happening at the right time, for the right reasons because God, whether you believe in Him or not, will ALWAYS have your back. You are never left alone. Seek him. Pray to Him. He put you through this & He will get you through it :)

XOXO, MariaLA

Life doesn't come with Instructions

I’ve been called the “virgin mary”, other days the “religious one” and sometimes even the “goodie two-shoes”…but truth is, I make mistakes too. I’ve lied, I’ve disrespected my parents, I’ve lost my patience, i’ve stolen, I’ve yelled & cursed, I’ve hurt someone, I’ve made mistakes, I’ve done things without thinking and I even have regrets. Yes, it’s true. However, after all the stupidity, I’ve never tried to reach perfection because I’m human. I’m bound to fall. The key to all my low points has been GETTING BACK UP. Every little bad thing in my life, I overcame it, grew from it and learned from it. I don’t strive to be perfect, just a BETTER person than the day before. What I’m trying to say is this: even the most “innocent” looking person is allowed to make mistakes because life doesn’t come with instructions. I have to admit that in the end, some of my greatest pains have been my greatest strengths. Only God knows I speak the truth…So today, give yourself a break. It’s okay to make mistakes! Learn from it & do good. I pinky promise you will see a brighter day :) Happy Sunday <3

Jealousy = NO TIME TO LOVE

Demonstrating jealousy will get you NOWHERE! I see it time and time again with friends vs. friends and family vs. family…what’s the use? Everyone will always have something better than the other, but you must also remember that everyone lacks something in life. Sure, you might not be driving your best friends brand new Lexus but your best friend could easily not have the love & support of a family that you happen to have. BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. Be genuinely happy for others happiness, for that will only bring happiness & blessings into your life ++++++♥
