| Struggling.
A new year. A new day. A new month. Me.... I'm the same. But things change. I've recently stumbled upon the theory that it takes a while for reality to hit me. Of course when it finally does, it hits hard taking away that last little ounce of security I thought I had. Well, cheers to reality. Lets see if this year I can make reality a little bit sweeter.
I'm out. Happy New Year's to all those who need a reminder Already on all their flipently-spoken promises.
We decide our destiny. Don't let the life around you choose it for you.

| This has been just about the slowest day of my life and really, just a pretty depressing evening. My thought of the day :
God is attracted to weakness. He can't resist those who humbly admit how desperately they need him. Our weakness makes room for his power.
You can't control a moment by yourself. Humble yourself in prayer and worship.. Be yourself and then let the Lord take over from there.
We need more love in this world.

| I've posted this post before, but it just fits so well with what some of my friends and I are going through rite now... so whatev.. I love you all!
I wondered why I've found an appreciation for storms... I thought at first it might be
because it gives my friend Nikki joy, but then I realized I actually like them for myself for a
totally different reason... I like them because they show our weakness.. Storms are a
reminder... Our life is constantly tossed about by storms and our paths are changed by the
winds all the time... the hard storms throw us into a weakness only God can calm... as
Jesus showed on the boat in the lake, he can calm the storms, not only is he in control, but
he can make it better at the blink of an eye. But if we don't trust him and start to focus on
the oncoming waves we lose our footing in Christ and we fall back into the swirling sea to
be tossed about some more until God plucks us out of the sea and into the boat.
God finds us in our weakness, and we can only find peace in the storm by relying on him.
There are some things put into our lives that influece us and we just can't control... sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad... the thing that matters is how you take the influence, because we make who we are to be... I mean God created us to be a specific person with a specific perfect purpose in mind for our lives... now we just have to discover that purpose and then follow through with what we were destined to become.
Our future is not determined from those around us, but by the way we react to those around us.

Don't let anyone choose your life for you... find who you really are inside, underneath all the scars and walls and then follow through with the real you, before you forget who you really are. Determine your own personality, your own destiny... everyone is unique, now let your uniqueness show... don't be afraid of change and abnormalities.. honesty is the only way to find true happiness and peace.
Don't hide your feelings inside...

"you don't know how lovely you are"
Life is one big tornado, pushing and pulling you along, you start to move along your way and just begin to gain some ground, but then you lose your footing and are sucked right back towards the turmoil and destruction in the center. There are so many times in my life when I have felt things couldn't be any better and then something happens and all that was once comes to an end for no apparent reason, just randomly... I want to throw the blame elsewhere, but as I reflect on the times that were most depressing in my life, it seems they always took place when I was struggling in my walk with God...
well guys hope you find inspiration from this blog... | | |

Well guys, I was looking through my documents and I found this word document,
a little blog of sorts I had written two years ago.. I liked it.. so I'm posting it lol.. enjoy.
When God created and set man in charge of the world, God had only one rule: Don’t eat
from the tree of Good and Evil. Man could live in happiness and harmony and do
whatever he pleased, except he couldn’t eat from the tree. One rule, how easy would life
be if there was only one rule? Not as easy as it sounds in reality. With freewill come
many things, one of which is curiosity. They say Curiosity killed the cat? Curiosity killed
Adam and Eve. If you think about it almost every sin that’s been committed has stemmed
from curiosity. People want to know and understand things, but at the same time they
don’t want to look immature or stupid by not understanding things. So our curiosity
outweighs our judgment and that is where the stumbling begins.
Anyways, people basically want to follow God. It may not seem that way to you when
you think about your life, but God created us with a longing for Him. God is our Father in
heaven. He is sort of like our dad here on Earth. Most of us love our dads and want to
get approval from them, but at the same time we want to make our own futures and have
our own lives where we make the decisions. We don't like control over our lives, yet we
know we need it at times. God's control is perfect and thus shouldn't be ignored, our
parents, on the other hand, shouldn't be ignored, but as people, they aren't perfect... and
thus wouldn't, in every case, know what is best for us. God did put our specific parents in
charge of us and we are called to obey them as long as it doesn't interfere with His plans,
or go against His word. There is a reason God put our parents in our lives... and we have
to accept that. Anyways I'm going off on a rabit trail... well I guess I'm just tired of
writing, so I'll finish this blog later...
ya, I really will finish this later, I'm out tho lov yas
