God I am so frustrated right now. Why do people do crap? It's all about them, and not about You. We can't have it both ways. We are either self-pleasing or God-pleasing. God keep me humble, and keep me broken. Please don't let me ever forget what You've brought me through. Thank You for the joy and peace You give me everyday. Thank You for the ( Read more... )

God, my heart hurts for all the people in my life that are struggling with crap. I want to help them, but I am powerless. I know you are bigger than any circumstance. I know that You have a plan for them, and it's for good. I can't see the road ahead for them, and it kills me. I can't see the road ahead for myself either, but that's another issue.

God is awesome! Life is such a gift. There is no promise that we will have tomorrow. There are so many things we take for granted. A place to sleep, food, cars, money, friends, clothes, jobs, family, mentors...I could go on forever. We always need to remember that God fulfills our every need. When He blesses us beyond that we need to give thanks, ( Read more... )

I close my eyes and begin to see, the love you have for me...and I don't know why ( Read more... )

It's hard to watch a friend struggle. You want to help them see things from the outside, but you can't. You wish that you could add your life experience to their's, but you can't. Sometimes God asks us to step back as hard as it may be while He works in their life. I know it for the best. I trust in God's plans whatever that may be.

God is so good. It is so comforting to know that no matter what we do or say or feel God loves us the same. We can have a bad day and have an attitude or be grumpy and God still loves us the same with His arms opened to us. Through bad news, good news, joy, depression, anxiety, excitement, or nervousness (I could go on forever) God is here loving ( Read more... )

I am at Lydia's house, yeah! Lyd, Dan, and I are going to see the new Star Wars tonight. I hope I like it as much the second time. God is awesome! He has put so much joy in my heart today. I talked to my mom for almost two hours today. It was very encouraging, she gave me some good advice. I hope everyone is having an awesome day.

Do you ever have moments when you don't want to think about anything because you are thinking about everything and you don't know what to do and you just need a big hug? So far the story of my day...week...month ( Read more... )

I miss the beach so much. There's something about the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves breaking, and the sun soaking into my skin that puts me in a really good mood. I'm going to Destin tomorrow! I am so excited! I'm going to the beach and visiting one of my closest friends. Yeeayah!!!

I went to a church picnic at the beach and from the moment I got there until the moment I left all I could think about was how much I missed one of my best friends. He is out of the country involved in missions. I miss playing ping pong for five hours straight, throwing his paper route with him, laughing for an hour about nothing, sharing our ( Read more... )
