A Word For Those Of You Who Are Feeling Overwhelmed

Hi, P.I.M PALS! (🌸o^-^o)/ 💕💦

Welcome to today’s video called, “A Word For Those Of You Who Are Feeling Overwhelmed”! 🌊

On my blog’s official Instagram account, I posted a video of me sharing with all of you an interesting dream that I had a few days ago, as well as a specific Scripture verse in the Bible that God led me to after having the dream, in which it is one that I believe will encourage those of you as well who may be feeling a bit overwhelmed in life right now. 💭

In addition, I share with you a list of beautiful songs in the video’s caption that I recommend you listen to, as their words are powerful, and they will only serve to encourage you even further and help deliver you from any pit that you could be in. 🎶

You can watch the video down below! I hope that it encourages you and uplifts you.👇

Begin to Blossom 🌸

🌸

Hi, P.I.M PALS! (/( ்̓˟்̓)\) 🌸 🤍

Spring is here, my absolute favorite season! I hope that you are doing well and enjoying a lovely spring day today. 😊 🙏 💕

If you did not already know, last spring I wrote a blog post called “Blossom“. In that post, I talked about not letting anyone or anything stop you from blossoming into the person you are called to be in Christ. Also, I shared a picture of peach blossoms that I would pass by everyday. But this year, I share with you my first experience being showered with cherry blossoms in Washington D.C.! 😄 🌸

I have always dreamed of seeing the cherry blossoms, for they are my favorite flower. 🌸 💕

The day finally came on March 31, 2023, when my family and I took a trip to Washington D.C., and saw the cherry blossom trees in peak bloom! 🌸 ✨

It was the first time I got to see the cherry blossom trees up close and really appreciate their beauty. 🌸 💕

I also got very excited seeing and meeting new people who spoke different languages and traveled from all around the world just to see the cherry blossoms in peak bloom as well. 😄 🌸

There were many kind people who offered to take pictures of my family and me together with the cherry blossoms. Many of these people had years of experience taking photos of the cherry blossoms, so the pictures came out absolutely amazing! 😄 📷 🌸 💕

It was also very cute to see many students and young and old couples taking pictures together with the cherry blossoms. 🎒 📚 🌸 💕

Also, I saw many people having picnics under cherry blossom trees, which is something that I would love to do one day with my family and friends. 🌸 💕

As expected, my family and I took lots and lots of pictures to capture the beauty of the cherry blossoms. 📷 🌸

There was even a moment when soft jazz music was playing in the background while everyone was walking and sightseeing the cherry blossom trees that were by the water. The live music truly enhanced the experience for all of us. 🌸 🎶

Eventually, I sat underneath a cherry blossom tree and I noticed all of the adorable pink and white petals scattered all over the ground and the water. 🌸

There were also many historical museums and art galleries in the area that I hope to visit the next time my family and I visit Washington D.C.! 🖼️ 🎨

Overall, I consider cherry blossoms to be my favorite flower, not just because they are pink, but because they mark the ending of winter and represent the beginning of spring. 🌸

The cherry blossoms also represent a time of renewal and optimism, which I think that many of us as people need and want in our lives. 🌸 ✨

For instance, personally, I am finally starting to come out of a “winter season” in my life when I was weighed down with fear and anxiety of losing my own life because of a tragic experience that happened to me.

I thank God that I am finally starting to enter a new spring season in my life of letting go of the fear, anxiety, worry, and pain that could have kept me from blossoming into the person I am called to be in Christ.

After my family and I prayed together, God gave me a dream reminding me of Genesis 3:15 (NIV) in His Word that the enemy, Satan, is under my heel, and I have crushed his head because he has no power over my life or anybody else’s life.

Do not, reader, allow the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10 (NIV)) the joy and beauty of your time and the moment when you should be blossoming or allowing yourself to enjoy the new beginnings of the spring season or any season, whether it is a new job you love, a new hobby you enjoy, or any new gifts, talents, or skills that you are passionate about and aspire to do, etc.

Something as simple as a cherry blossom showering over me gives me pure joy and a feeling and assurance that God is with me and He is with you also. 🌸 ✨

While I was sightseeing the cherry blossoms, the following two Scripture verses also came to mind:

🌸 Song of Songs 2:12 (NCV) 🌸

“Blossoms appear through all the land. The time has come to sing; the cooing of doves is heard in our land.”

🌸 Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV) 🌸

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers.”

Therefore, reader, as you can see, God compares us to the trees in His Word. Just as the cherry blossom trees blossom in the spring, so will you in God’s divine timing. So, do not compare yourself to someone else’s “peak bloom”. 🌸 ✨

And to those of you who are currently in a rut, I encourage you to step outside and surround yourself with nothing but God’s beautiful creation. 🌸

If you are reading this, mother and father, thank you for bringing me to see my favorite flower. It was a beautiful early birthday present! 🌸 🙏 💕

I thank God that my family and I were able to see the cherry blossoms in peak bloom and enjoy such a lovely, serene, and healing spring day together. 🌸 🙏 🤍

One day, I hope to also see the beautiful cherry blossoms, also known as Sakura, in Japan and go to my first cherry blossom festival there with family and friends. 🌸 ⛩️ 🗼

To bring this post to a close, I wanted to share with you, this special little reel of my trip to Washington D.C., where I saw the cherry blossom trees. 🌸 🎬 ✨

I encourage you to visit one day and experience the beauty of the cherry blossoms as I did. 🌸 💕

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕

ʕ♡˙ᴥ˙♡ʔ

Happy Valentine’s Day, P.I.M PALS! 💕

I hope that wherever you are in the world, you are having a lovely Valentine’s Day today. ✨

Like many others, when I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of a special day for couples, but since I have never been in a relationship before, I will just speak about the things I do know!

Ever since I was young, I looked forward to Valentine’s Day every year. Firstly, I love the color pink, and Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to that color! Also, I love to dress up in pink, red, and white, make homemade cards for my parents, eat heart-shaped sweets, hug my stuffed animals, and spend time with my family. 🧸 💕

And as a student, I loved it when my school would always let the students dress up, decorate the classroom, and have a Valentine’s Day class party together. Does your school do this kind of thing? ✨

❤️

As I thought about love and Valentine’s Day, I wanted to give you the following scripture verses:

❤️ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) ❤️

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

❤️ 1 John 4:16 (KJV) ❤️

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”

❤️ Romans 8:38-39 (NLT) ❤️

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow – not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below – indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

❤️ Psalm 145:8 (NIV) ❤️

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.” 🥰

What I love about these scripture verses is just how honest and straightforward they are. They apply to both the love you show yourself and others and the entirety of the scripture verses are just simply powerful. I encourage you, reader, to meditate on these scripture verses every day. They perfectly define what true love is at the end of the day.

❤️

I hope you found this post to be valuable, and if it resonated with you, feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section. 🎀

Pink Winter Sky

Hi P.I.M PALS,

One day, I looked out my backyard and saw a beautiful pink sky surrounding the frosted trees and snowy ground. ❄️

The scene was just absolutely serene, and I wanted to share with you this picture I took of it.

Photo by Selene Washington

And speaking of pink skies, Psalm 19:1 (NIV) says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”

Therefore, I thank God for such a beautiful pink sky, for it only comes from Him. 🙌

I hope you are having a lovely winter filled with warmth and serenity. And if it is snowing in your area, make sure to stay warm!

May your winter be filled with pink skies and snowflakes. ❄️ 💕

God bless you and protect you always, and I pray that you are warm, safe, and healthy!

Your P.I.M PAL,

Selene
