The Scroll Struggle

I’ve been thinking about how much of each of our lives is filtered. Particularly, in the world of social media. We can choose what friends we want, which types of things to read, or which news we do or don’t see.

Not only this, but how we filter our photos. Our faces can go from bear to beautiful in one click. Even our teeth can be straighter with technology!

Another thought.

How crazy is that? We crave attention so much that some of us are willing to do just about anything to do so. Instead of embracing who we truly are.

Are we going to spend all of our time trying to get a temporary like, or will we spend our time with those people & relationships that truly matter?

What are your thoughts on the subject?

The Inspiration Behind The “Hello Beautiful” Totes

Some of you may have noticed that I have taken a break from the blog. This is because of my new business venture. While the business itself has a story behind it, I wanted to explain the message that one particular tote I’ve created. Every time I scroll through social media, I see girls & women who seem to seek instant gratification via a post like or comment. It’s completely human to want to be seen by others. It’s the way we go about it that matters. My inspiration for the “Hello Beautiful” totes came at the beginning of the new year. I wanted to have something that would remind those around me (including myself), that no matter what others say about them, they are beautifully designed. https://www.facebook.com/boldandnewdesign/ 💗 Kelly

3 things I sometimes forget hen life is hard

2023 has been tough. It’s challenged me in ways I never expected. It’s gotten me thinking. We often blame God for bad circumstances and praise Him when things go right. I think there are 3 things we often forget easily: 1. God gives and takes everything with a bigger purpose in mind. Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” 2. Trials are promised, not something we’re exempt from as Christians. James 1:2 Testing of Your Faith Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3. Jesus does understand His death was the most painful kind possible in His time and He was tempted just as we are. Matthew 4:1 The Temptation of Jesus “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” That doesn’t mean that trials are fun to go through. It means we need a mindset shift. Instead of being surprised by them we should exp...

How The Blog Got Started

Since I’m a little under the weather today, instead of a typical blog post, I wanted to let you know how @wordsofabelle got started. ♥️ I started it as a creative outlet in 2018. I wasn’t sure how many people would be reached by it, but I wasn’t concerned with numbers. I wanted to write about things that were on my heart & hoped other people would relate, too. ♥️ it’s turned into something a lot bigger than I ever thought it may have in its beginnings. I hope it will continue to help me to connect with people on a deeper level in #2020. ♥️ R E A S O N There have been many times I’ve felt completely uninspired or unmotivated. But I truly believe I’ve been inspired by God to start this to share my story with others who can benefit from it. ♥️ F U T U R E Although I don’t know what’s in store for this in 2020, I hope it continues to reach new lives in new ways. ♥️ Thank you to everyone who has followed along ...
