Ok well as you can see I havn't posted on here in quit a while. To be honest I have a little phobia of blogging lol! But I am getting over that! Well ...this year has been soo great already! I am so thankful for all the awesome things that have already happend this year! But anywho..I have been thinking a lot about prayer lately. Pray is def. something I think I need to work on. I belive that God hears and answers my prayers. And I do have faith when I pray ,but sometimes I wonder if I have enough faith and confidence when I pray. I read scriptuers like John. Ch. 17 and I am just amazed at how certain and passionate Jesus was when he was praying to God. His faith was just untouchable and Jesus was so selfless when he prayed! I mean right befor he was arrested he was praying not just for himself but he spent most of his prayer praying for his disciples and all believers!! That just blows my mind. feel like I can be so selfish sometimes in my prayers. I feel like I will focus to much on myself during myprayer and my wants and needs and problems and what not. Prayer is so powerful and i need to take advantage and cheerish this wonderful gift called pray that God gave to us.
It also blows my mind to think God want want to hear us!? I mean he is God..he dosn't have to listen, but he does. and not only does he listen but he cares with all his heart and he wants to hear and listen to us.
So this week I am going to try and improve my prayer life. I am going to try and stop concentrating so much on myself. There are so many important reasons for prayer such as repentence confession, praising GOd/ thnkafulness, edification, and praying for others and their well being. Don't get me wrong God does want to know whats going on in our lives, but I think we ( or me at least) can just lose focus of what pray is really supposed to be an how specail it is. I am not going to let selfishness consume my prayers anymore.

I really hope this blog made sense..i actualy i written one befor this that was probably better written but my computer messed up and I had to start over again. So hope it's not just rambling!

    sometimes I wonder if you need to have faith that He can do it...or faith that He will do it.

Hey yall I know it's been forever since I have updated so I thought I would update!=-) Everything is goin really well! School is really really busy but that about it. I'm already so excited about Halloween! I dont what it is excaticly about Halloween but I absolulty LOVE IT!!! Of course any Holiday that includes you recieving free candy is great. Anyways

This is random but last week I was having a bad day and I remember thinking "uhh this day could not get any worse." well later that day when I got home Allison called me. She was calling me to tell me that her freind from school had lost her mom to cancer that morning. I felt absolutly horrbile. Here I was thinking my day was bad when this other girl my age had lost her Mom that same day. I felt so bad because I had been complaining about the day I had. I can't imagin loosing my mom. I had no right to complain .there are so many other people that have way worse days than mine. Were all so fourtunate because we dont have to worry about not having food or anywhere to live. There are so many things for me to be thankfull for. God blesses us so much its just amazing. I can never run out of things to be thankful for even if I think i am having a "bad day". Anyways

pls pray for that girl amd her family. They are really having a hard time because they had just found out a month or so ago that her mom had cancer so it was really unexcpected.

    That's sad. I'll sure pray for them. I understand... I'll have a bad day and think "poor me" or something... and like you said... it's nothing compared to something like that.
