Friendship is the best gift

I have never seen a youth group so in tune to the lord, So willing to step up and step out for what God wants them to do without hesitation. Just the other day we lost our Aunt Eloise and we were at (we meaning me and my sis) a hay ride with friends and they were willing to gather round without question and pray for me and my sister! These group of girls are the best friends i could ever ask for. They have blessed my life in so many ways. Out of all the friends i have had they are the BEST. They are so willing to humble themselves, to serve the lord at any given moment. that's inspiring! I look up to them, they teach me something new, and i love to hear what their view points are, because they way i looked at it may have been different. It is very interesting to look at something one way and then look at it another. Its is so awesome to see them everyday live for God. Each one is very unique and i feel like i have known them forever! and idk what id do with out them. They have helped me through a lot, they have been there for me. I am so grateful to be blessed with friends that have the same beliefs and faith, it is just wonderful. I can be around them and know that they except me for who i am and not for what I'm not. I can be myself. It is great to have friends that u know u can trust and know that they will be there if u need them. I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!

Life's Little Treasures

They are so precious yet we pass them by everyday, with out even realizing it. One day that treasure could be gone. We get so used to taking everyday for granted that those little treasures are forgotten or left behind because the world has blinded us, with our busy schedules, cars friends, school , work and gotta get here in this amount of time and u miss everything around you. Miss opportunities to help someone and make it about them and not yourself. :Put others Before yourself" (ex.1) If you have kids make a note, take time out of the day to tell them i love you and play with them, dnt let them slip away. (ex2)while trying to get some where or working on something you might miss the person on the road or anywhere that needed some ones help, u may have been the only person able to help yet you pass that person by like its nothing. we need to show the people a better place, that not all people are bad, not all things are terrible and depressing. just by giving some on e a cup of coffee can make there day. It doesn't have to take a new car for some one to be happy. If you show them u love them and care abt them, take time our ur day to tell them how much u mean to them then it wont take a car or money to see ur loved one smile. Live life to the best!!! share lessons or testimonies.u never know u just might change a life one day
i Challenge you all to slow down and see just how many people u may help or how many treasures u have that were forgotten. Maybe see how much you are actually missing. enjoy ur surroundings dnt pass them by. Enjoy life, friends family dnt pass up opportunities to be with your family. to have one on one, tell then how much u love and care for them.
i know i gotta a bit off track I'm sorry :/ hope u enjoy! :)

When Life catches you off guard

Well here recently life has caught me off guard. My Aunt Eloise is in the hospital now as we speak. The doctors have given her about 24 hours to live. :'( She is have heart failure so all her organs are shutting down, she is currently on life support. She isn't alert and the doctors don't think she can make it. So right now i am trusting in the lord. If God is calling her home then so be it. She will be better off with him then down here in pain and suffering.
For now we are waiting, hoping she will pull through blocking the truth from coming in, until all else fails. We know deep down her chances of surviving, but still we cling on to the little hope that we have.
I know she will be going to a better place, but it still hurts. She lives in Florida so we never really got to see each other much, but i loved her with all my heart. she was very sweet and kind anytime we want and visited.
I know sometimes when something like that just sneaks up on you and brings everything down. its almost as if your life is crumbling, everything around you becomes irrelevant. Your whole focus is now concentrated on how fast you can get to the hospital, all the things you wish you would have said is running through your mind. All those times you had an argument u suddenly wish you can take back. wish you had more time with them. The important thing now is to say i love you before he/she slips away into a deep sleep.
It is hard to let go of someone when you never really got to know them, But in your heart you know its for the better. That this was God's will and that there is a reason for his/her death. I ask the Lord for comfort at this time, ask him to be with each and everyone of us. Life's toughest situations can bring out the best in people.

Thanks you for Musicians and Singers

Lord i want to thank you for all the musicians out there and the singers who glorify your name through song. It opens up the opportunity to let God work through someone just by them hearing a song. it opens up the possibility of some one opening up their heart and excepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior. The musicians help so much, they not only create songs but tell the people what God has shown them or a burden they had. its not just some random words put together that just happens to sound good. They give a testimony, and show how God has changed their life or what they have gone through.
Each song is full of love, hurt, confusion, but it all leads back to the lord. They show the importance of following him. Not only talking the talk but walking the walk.
For example, Britt Nicole "How The Lost Get Found"
She had a burden on her heart to travel and to help people. She asked the lord to put people in her path that needed her help, needed guidance or encouragement. A sign that they are not Alone. She didn't just sing the song, it was something that she acted out and went through with.
Its just nice to be able to listen to good clean music and be able to know that God is there, to know that no matter how many times you fall he will always pick you back up. Christ is our rock our foundation , as Natalie grant put it, All other ground is sinking sand. Christ is the one who is always there for us. Watching over you to make sure your alright, or allows something to happen to see what or how you are acting or reveal a better way to handle a situation OK well anyways all i can say is that i LOVE GOD and i don't know what i would do with out him, It is just awesome to see how he works through people, through song, or any event really he has his ways :) i am glad he is my foundation.
