wow... so my computer hasn't shut down yet... so maybe i can get through this one. lol. well... wow, that sums up the last few days. God has blessed me with so much. Everyday i realized something i never have before. it is so awesome. its like i wake up and am so excited to learn more that God has planned for me everyday. and people wonder why i wake up in such a great mood everyday. ha! anyways, one thing every person should do in life is sit in a room with just a bunch of songs on the computer, and play your favorites, just sit, and listen to the words. Have a friend there who understands where you are coming from and talk about the experiences in each life that gives that song a special meaning. it is the most amazing feeling in the world. God gave me that opportunity the other night with a great friend of mine. Telling stories, sharing secrets, being crazy, just having a good time. when you take the time to listen, you can learn so much about someone else. that is just so awesome to me. one thing i realized the other night, is just what passion is all about. it is something that you put your heart and soul into. Passion is different than love, but it is also a type of love. passion motivates. if you have a passion for something, you will want to do it, because you enjoy it. i am learning so much more about myself too. since a lot of people that i have been close to keep dying on me, it has really made me think a lot about when i die. what do i want to be remembered for, and do i live my life to accomplish that, so that the stories people tell of me, are ones of love and passion for Christ. to share his unconditional love to EVERY single person i come in contact with. another thing i realized about me is that i love to know no strangers. i love people, i want them to know about God's unconditional love, and i want to be the one to share it with them. Love with no conditions, how amazing. People always say to me, "rachel, you can't love everybody that much, you don't know anything about them." i always say in reply, "they are a child of God, just like me, and if God can love them with no conditions, so can i, and i will." try to always remember that when we meet new people, or deal with old ones. well... i have realized a lot more, some good, some bad, but that is the way i am, and i've come to love me, it has always been a struggle for me, but we all have to realize that we are ALL (including you and me) are children of the Lord, and we have to love ourselves and who we are first, before we can love anyone else.

daddy, i ask today that you bless anyone and everyone who comes across this site. i thank you for every blessing that you have given. and i thank you for keeping them in my life. you have blessed us with friendship, and that is amazing. i praise and bless your name with all that i am.
