YOLO

Yolo is a commonly used slang terminology that stands for; You only live once…

Depending on how emotionally and spiritually immature you are, this term can sound like an open invitation to live a life of unbridled sin. Living the life we desire is essential to God’s plan. How we go about living it is up to us. As a believer in Christ, we should always try to live a life that is pleasing to God. 

How Does God Want Me To Live My Life

I have loved God all of my life. Our relationship has always been unique. For me, I view God as an all-loving, foreseeing, and all-knowing being. As my grandma would say, “God don’t make no junk.” We are all on this earth to live our best life and with a Purpose. His Purpose. 

God wants us to live out every day as if it were our last. We should be more present in our relationships with friends and loved ones. We should show compassion and forgiveness to everyone. We should also be loyal and passionate about doing good in the world and our homes. He tells us in Luke 17:32 to Be not like Lot’s wife. God wants us to constantly evolve, as well as grow emotionally and spiritually. He wants us to forgive and move forward so that He can continue to show us His plan in our lives.

Where Is My Place In Life?

If you have ever wondered how you fit into the world, just know, that you do. Every single person was put on this earth for a reason. The best way to figure that out is to do a self-evaluation and determine what you are passionate about. You are never too old or too young to find your passion in life. Life is for the living and God wants us to enjoy it. 

Here is a delicious recipe I think you and your family will love. Hopefully, it will liven up your taste buds.
