we are so blessed

One week ago I took a trip to PA to go visit some christian friends for one of my friends graduation. During this trip I was strengthed and encouraged.
It amazes me everyday how much others can help us grow. God has blessed each one of us so much by giving us the friends we have, airplane to ride
in,car, home,food and so much more. I want to be more like God, giving and always knowing what people need.

God has given me so much love. God shows us love everyday but i don't see myself showing love to my family and friends everyday...why is that? I have always been afraid of three words and that is "I Love You." I guess I thought those words can't be used because they are used to much and mean nothing but I have realized how much those words really do mean. Honesty, I think it's not that I couldn't say I Love You as much as I thought it would scare someone away. Don't ask me why I ever thought that but I did. when I was little I said I Love You to my family all the time and never was weird about it but now that I am older I can't say it to a guy with meaning. When
I say guy i mean good friend, brother, someone you really look up to. I am now able to say the words all the time to ladies in my life that I get close to but when ist comes to men I am afraid that once I say it i will loose a friend because They may take it wrong. Does that make sense? I know my problem with this is something I need to get over because we shouldn't worry. So anyways this has been somthing I have been working on. I can now say it in letters and e-mails.lol

Spending time with the family I went to go visited reminded me about how amazing Love and Family is. I left feeling so loved and I went home seeing love that I didn't let myself see before. I feel so blessed that I was able to go on this trip and I was also so blessed to have the family and friends I do that always encourage me to be a better Christian.

Love you all:)
