"you've got to believe in yourself..."

"Life kicks you around sometimes
it scares you and it beats you up.
But there's one day when you realize
you're not just a survivor
You're a fighterYou're tougher than anything
life throw your way. and you are."

God is so wonderful, his grace amazes me
i'm so glad i count on him and not other people
b/c He never lets go or disappoints you.
its funny how others can take away your trust in God.
when you stop and look:: God is love.
"know God. know peace. no God. no peace."peace is so beautiful.
even just those few moments or days.

i'm ready for some more road trips.
here's to a beach trip next month:-D
kick life in the BUTT!
music is all around us.
you just have to listen.

"everyday...you save my life"

"i believe that everything happens for a reason.
people change so that you can learn to let go.
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when you're right.
you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one
but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." -marilyn monroe

its so hard to let go sometimes....
i'm tired of always getting it wrong.
this week has been enlightening
its funny how something so small
can make you focus of God so much more.

mom and dad come back tomorrow
its been nice to have time alone
and just chill out.
i'm doing laundry at 1 in the morning.
that is fun!
but i'm ready to have them back
i'll sleep better!

"i know i don't tell you nearly enough
i couldn't live one day with your love"

tell the people you love that you do.
tell them how you appreciate them.
tell them when they look extra beautiful.
tell them when they impact your life.
tell them you care.

i love worship music.
it makes me so happy

"i'll do whatever it takes
to turn this around, i know whats at stake
i know that i've let you down
and if you give me a chance
believe that i can change
i'll keep us together....
whatever it takes"-lifehouse

my favourite little boy got hurt today
sad for my face. he's so adorable!

thats all for now.

believe.

"you are worthy of my praise..."

Road trip this past weekend...
its always fun
but left me feeling exhausted
i think i've become allergic to SC
i'm SO sick now....
pine trees and humidity
its killing me. i need like a whole day to sleep.
i got to see my brothers first house
and his new friends/church
exciting.
i start working with new people tomorrow at work
oh boy. can't wait for that.
it should be interesting. an extra 1 1/2 hours with the
two year olds. won't that be joyful?

its crazy how we grow and change in life
people at one point i thought would be in my life
forever, seem like strangers at times now.
weird.
i got to see some really old friends this weekend
that made me smile.

i'm all booked up this week
which is good. mom and dad are in FL
i'm scared to sleep. AH
but its nice to have a quiet house.

time for some serious sleep.

"sometimes you must get hurt
in life in order to grow."

    Love the comments you share on your blog...sounds like you and God have a lot of fun together, which is the way it should be. If I ever move down there, you'll have to teach me not to be so serious all the time...). Keep swimming in God's Sea and you'll do great.

"the world is magic-you just have to believe"

Tonight was SO fun....
we partied it up with our jesus lovin' friends
its like a sneak peek of heaven sometimes
i do believe.
its all about our hearts to love Jesus
and walk in his steps.
a relationship. me and God. i love that.

life has been interesting lately
things are always changing.
i love making new friends and taking chances
even if they don't always go the way you want.
i love that God lets us choose the path we go down.
sometimes you've just got to live through it.

i'm getting new people to work with
lots of changes are suppose to happen
But for some reason i'm chilled out right now
about it. let go. let God.
i'm listening to music from august rushif you have any passion for music
it's the best movie ever.
"can i get you off my mind this time...?"

i think how to impact people most is just
how we treat others. doing what Christ would do
is normally polar opposite from what a person would.
when you make that choice it shines to others.

that's all for tonight
remember:
love jesus.
take risks.
don't be afraid to be challenged.
stand up for what you believe in.
dance at random times.
sing at church with all you've got.
smile at everyone.
give real hugs.

broke my little heart in piecesbut i'm still breathing.

i dropped my cell phone in a water drainage grate
thingy. so yeah i get a new one on Wednesday.
Insurance is RETARDED, i had to pay way too much

"Ive been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here
But I don't look
Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today" ...new favourite song
i got awesome art today at kohls
with the best quotes ever...
i had to limit myself to only buying two
i wanted like everything!

finally got my stuff stored/moved from moving here
almost a year later. there are NO boxes in my room
amazing.


i love God.
