My Struggles

Hey guys! It's late at night, so if I type something weird that's why. I've decided that I'd tell you what I want to change about myself within the next couple of months.

1. My relationship with God.
Many people have jobs, do school and put Christ at the center of their life. I used to be that way too. I've recently been failing at reading the bible everyday and praying everyday. One of my goals this year was to read the whole bible. I started out good and am honestly failing at the moment. I like to use the excuse of "I just worked 8 hours" or "I just need sleep". I've realized that  don't just need sleep. I need Jesus! I need to read and meditate on His words day and night. Ever since I was young I've wanted to be a good example to all the little kids around. How can I be a good example if I can't read Gods word everyday? It just isn't possible. I would also like to start prayer journaling. I began prayer journaling back in April or May, its  been great to see how God has answered my prayers and worked in my life.


2. My social media.
to many of you social media isn't that big of a deal, for me it is huge. I use it as a way to share Gods word. I have a public Instagram where I have around 400 strangers following me. Many people think that's strangers following me is weird. I honestly can't help but to agree. If you think about it, I get the opportunity to share Gods work to these strangers. If I could just change one persons life, it would so be worth the time! I also have a youtube channel. I would like to be more consistent with posting videos. I would really like to start doing bible talks or bible lessons. I would also really like to start taking my blog more seriously. I don't really know what I'm going to do with my blog, but I know I'm going to turn it into something.

I hope you guys enjoyed learning about my struggles. please leave a comment down below with what yours are! -Reese A Ziegler

All About My First Job

Hey guys! It has been a very long time since I last wrote a blog. I am here today to tell you all about my life these past few months. well, where do I begin? I got a job!! it's not as exciting as it seems. I mean, yeah, the money is nice. I am starting to think having my time back would be nicer ... I'll probably end up keeping the job until fall of 2018. See, I will be turning 16 in that November, so I would have more jobs I could choose from. well, where do you work?  I am a housekeeper/desk sitter at our local hotel. Its not my ideal first job, but it'll do. I was offered a job at our local design/print studio. I was told that I could answer phones and basically be their secretary. I would eventually work my way up in the company and be a business manager. My dad also owns his own VERY successful construction business. He said that he can no longer keep up with all the paper work, so that is his way of saying he needs help. I am debating on what to do... if I work for my dad would I do that on the side or would I do it full time? What I was thinking is, I could save my money from the hotel job and use my money I'd make from being a secretary as spending money. I've had so many people tell me they wished they would have saved more money than they did. I don't want to say that when I'm older, so I guess I better start saving. Well, I've got to go. see, you next time!
