A Girl Named Jasmine

Hello World! For those who don't know... I am Jasmine, and this is my blog. I've debated for MONTHS whether or not to actually start one of these things up, but couldn't decide on a name. So, after a quick group message session with some close advisers, they inspired me with new blog names! So here we go... 


51 Cupcakes is symbolic of two things that I love very dearly. Psalm 51...and Cupcakes!!! If you've never read Psalm 51, I would encourage you to do so! A prayer for restoration, it helped me through a very difficult time in my life and it encouraged me to beg for a broken heart. GOD IS SO GOOD!! The other half of my title is "Cupcakes" because well...who doesn't like cupcakes!? Someone great once told me that cupcakes make everything happy. I would have to wholeheartedly agree. And so would you. Have you ever eaten a cupcake while mad?! The answer is no. Because it's impossible. Don't argue...I'm right. 


A common theme throughout my posts will be love. I LOVE everything. Sometimes I think that using that word causes my "love" to not be deep, but I assure you...that is not true. When I love something, I love it hard. Whether is be a person, food, or hand bags...I love it with all I have. I'm a very passionate and loyal person. I do my best to be the best person I can be for everyone who is around me. Maybe it's a little selfish, but I want people to feel as delighted in by me as I would want to be by someone else. Make sense? In a nut shell: I love Love!!! 


My reason for starting this blog was because I am living a life that is not as put together as it always seems, and I wanted people to see that. I think there is something very beautiful about being broken and not having it all figured out... With that being said, it's not always easy and sometimes its a little bit of scary feeling. But thankfully I have found a "perfect love" that "casts out all fear" and I am able to see the good in ALL things that God does for me. I hope that this blog will inspire others to have a gracious perspective for the various circumstances that God gives us. I'm constantly growing, and constantly experiencing things that always seem to trump the last experience. Also, I believe that being vulnerable with others will allow me to not only understand that concept, but to realize it and live it. There is grace in humility. 




Lots of Love Forever...Jasmine.
