“Updates: Are you updated?”
If you own an apple iPhone, you probably just updated it with the latest iPhone update iso 9. And as you sat there waiting for the apple loading sign to go away so you could get back to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.; you probably didn’t stop think think about God. Well, I didn’t either at first until it hit me. Our God is just like an apple update, social media, and more. How? Let me explain. He constantly post things about life. Every morning He paints a sky for us to see on His “Instagram”. Then he tweets about how beautiful it is through the birds in His “Twitter”. Then He puts signs up through the day for us to read on His “Facebook”, but sometimes we scroll past them. And even after all of his post day in and day out, his followers forget to update. Yes we need constant updates. Just like iPhones. Why? Well why does apple update their phones? Simply to make them faster, more technical, even cooler, and more smart. God is the same way. Like an apple update-we need a God update. We update by reading or listening to the Bible. Constantly trying to understanding what God wants from us that day. “Liking” his post that He gives us by Thanking him. “Recharging our batteries” through prayer and worship. And keeping us “Connection with others” through church. So I guess what I’m trying to say is- if your phone is updated more than your soul, what have you gained? A smarter phone than you? Or a closer relationship with God. Yes you have the choice to update your phone or even yourself. But is your soul on Iso 4 and your phone Iso 9? If so you have a lot of updates ahead of you. Yes being patient while the updates are taking place is hard, but with God all things are possible. So get to updating people. In this day in age you can’t afford not to!

Hey & welcome to my blog!
A little about me:
I am Marli Wright. I am the writer of Just Being Marli. I am also the owner of Marli Visuals as well. I am from a small town in Southeastern Oklahoma. I am not a fancy writer by no means, but if you understand it than its a God thing.
A little about this page:
Just Being Marli was created by me for many reasons. It all started on Instagram where I hashtaged #JustBeingMarli with photos of me or quotes that I had written. Many people started to comment on it loving the idea.
A little about this blog:
This blog is to inspire people. I and literally, "Just Being Marli.". God created me to be me. He has plans for me, and I believe this is one of them. I feel like I am called to write each post and that is what I strive to do. I am a Christian and I do fail often. This blog is just a place where I come to write verses and thoughts that have helped me understand God better. I do not have all the answers & I won't act like I do. However if you have any questions; please ask. If I don't know the answer I will try and find it for you.
What causes me to write:
June of 2017 I became a mom to a wonderful baby boy Rhett. In 13 hours I learned about love, grief, life, & death. After having to give my son back to God, my faith was tested. I write because I know hurt. I write because I know others know this pain and I want to bring hope. I also write, because I feel God has made me to do so. Most of all, because my son loved and that’s all he knew. Love. Pure innocence love. And he know is whole and healthy in heaven. I want to share that innocence God felt love with others through writing. That is what inspires me most.
In 2019 God gave us a beautiful Rainbow baby girl, we named Selah. God showed us his promises are true and he never breaks them. He showed me how to have joy and hope again. And because of Gods love and grace; I have two beautiful babies.
This blog may have started as a hashtag, but now it has meaning that is deeper than even I imagined.
