The Brighter side

Some pain can never be taken away. It is always there, tucked away until something similar to that pain or situation comes up. Sometimes its seeing what you used to have but is no longer there. The pain is almost unbearable and at the same time you feel selfish or ashamed for even thinking about it because you think to yourself "i should be happy with what i have not what i don't". It can get to the point where it just rules your life. where you are never happy never truly satisfied because you haven't been able to move on. The thing is to look at the brighter side. You have gained knowledge about that situation and different ways to handle it, or you can be prepared to help others who have been through the same situation.You can share with them, what you went through and ways to help them get through it without giving up. You are also more guarded as well that way it won't hurt as much if it happens again.
You can't let it rule you forever once you let it go, you will feel free and energized ready to face the world! The pain is still there but it won't gain control of you. You can still make it through, Be strong what was done is done and can't be changed. The past is meant to stay in the past don't let it become your present.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

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.

That one Simple Moment

There are times when you sitting there with you family, laughing and sharing stories, it feels like there is nothing holding me down. Every one is fine and it's like there is nothing to worry about. I just want to sit back, slow down and realize what God has done for me. I look back and see all the trials ans tests he allowed me to go through. Then i start to think wow, if he brought methis Far that he has something he wants me to do. I am amazed at how much he loves me, how much he is willing to do for me. He was willing to let me go through Mom and Dad's divorce to learn how to love, allowed me to go through moving in and out of dad's house, to learn to appriciate him more and learn to take on more responsibilities. Also to know how to show love an how one should love another.As well as a little brother who watches my every move. I know that each time i react to something or how i handle a situation, he is observing and watching how i act. in his mind if i do it than he can do it. I wish i realized this a little earlier. It amazes me that even though i might jave questioned him at times, he still helped me through every trial and opened my heart, and helped me see the bigger picture. For that i am forever thankful. There is still more to come!!! more trials, more blessings, more lessons!!!!!!

God is Always There

God is always there for us, when we feel alone he is there he is holding you up, saying child you are not alone. i am here. He embraces you and is a father to you, he hurts to see you hurt, loves to see you laugh and share his word. He will lift you up when no on else is there, he will lift you up everytime you fall, in many differnt ways, wether it be a friend, or a loved one, or even someone who doesnt know you, show a deep gratitude for the simplest things. God works in mysterious ways. If you pray for patience he will give you the opertunity to be patience. He doesnt straight out give it to you. He does it in a way that you can understand, to learn from it and keep what he has tought you and use it in other situations. That is also what i love most about God he is always teaching you, always guiding u or will lead you to some one who can explain what you don't understand. He never stops using you, any oppertunity that he sees he can use you he will. Its wonderful when you can share the word of God, some times it seems that it just doesnt get through to the person your trying to help, but what you've done is open up a door to where God can work on them and lead them to the cross. He is a truly awesome God!! He will make a way where there is no way! I praise Him for ALL that he does!!!!!! Thank you Lord :) God Bless Everyone
