Life's a happy song

Have you guys seen the muppets???? I personally have seen some of it buy I have an app for it on my iPod and I love the song "life's a happy song" because it's really catchy and it's so true!! In the song it says
"life's a happy song
When theres someone by your side to sing along. Life's a piece of cake with someone to give and someone to take"
And to me that's like describing the best friends!
In life, you need someone to remind you of the lyrics in the songs. You need someone to take so you can give, someone to pedal so you can brake.
God says to have strong relationships with people. Lately I have been realizing how important it is to have boy friends and girl friends
Don't get me wrong I love hanging out with guys, but when you need to know why tampons come in a little black box or how come Johnny doesn't like you....guys can't answer that! Girls can!
It's so important to realize God made us to have friends an to make disciples of ALL nations..not just girls but not just guys either... But with BOTH!!! And that is amazing that we have the opportunity to share the gospel with both guys and girls!
Life really is a happy song when we have someone by the side to share the word with! I challenge all of you today reading this to give a bible verse either over text email letter or voice to a girl you are close to and not close to, and also a boy you are and aren't close to! God will work in marvelous ways!!!!

I will RISE!

Felt weak lately?
me too.
Can I share somethin with you?
Sometimes I just want to give up....
Let go...
Stop everything, and quit.
But
That's not what my purpose is!
I need to finish this race!!!
I need to keep going even when it hurts!
Jesus is our STRONG TOWER HELPER WHEN I AM WEAK
and that is what should keep me going and not to quit!
And it does! It makes me so much stronger and perserverant!
He says in the Bible "and they will rise on eagle's wings,
they will walk and not be weary"
That is amazing! it makes me just want to praise God and scream and
LIVE FOR HIM!!!
His love is amazing, steady and unchanging.
And THAT is what gets me up in the morning...I don't know about you!

Steady My Heart

Lately.....
kids have been something i take joy in....
Children are such a blessing in life.
I can't wait to have kids.
I just love kids...
except one..
Ryan.
He's the kid I babysit on a daily (almost) basis..
he's SO hard to love.
He never does what I say, He is loud
obnoxious
wild
bad
disobediant
mean
and overall terrible!I have never truly not liked babysitting, but seriously
this kid....
but i just have tried praying about it and asking God to give me a loving heart,
and that he would help me to learn how to show this kid love
they don't have the best mom...
they live in a trashed house
and so it's probably somewhat not his fault
so I have just asked God to give me a patient heart, and for Him to show me
how to love and that He
would steady my heart.
Its hard, but it's gotten easier.
and after thinking about what I want my family to be like,
when is a better time to start practicing than now?!?
God has just overfilled me with this patience and love
I can't explain it

Sometimes I just can't love certain people
I don't talk to the "bad kids"
I don't even ackowledge their presence,
and lately I have learned what kind of person God CALLS me to be to them
i need to show them His love and His word and everything He is!
I can't explain it, i just have felt this overwhelming feeling
that I need to make disciples, followers, believers
I can't do this on my own.
I need Jesus.
I need His help.
His discernemnt
His guidance.
HIM!
I can't let all these unbelievers keep living on life like they are....
where will that get them?
My goal this year...is to have a "hit list"
a list of people I will pray for daily, and talk to daily
to lead them to Jesus...
the only one who loved them enough to die for their terrible sins.
What if I have a list of say 5 people,
and if I can at least get one person to believe in God's word....
that would be such a BIG blessing.
As i write on this blog I will post about the people...
the prayers...
the progress...
the PPP report!
i will keep you updated and ask you to keep my hit list people in your prayers as well.
This year is going to be FILLED with new things, and amazing
God things!
i can't wait!

this is where it started....

I am a girl who lives for the Lord...
i go to a public school.....
I have the most amazing guy in my life that God blessed me with...
I have wonderful best friends who love me and i love them
I am living my life...every day....for Him...my Savior and my King

A year ago, I was in a car accident....
My life has forever changed because of what happened in 10 seconds.
I learned how to trust God when I couldn't trust anyone else..
I learned what FAITH really is...and what it looks like to HAVE faith...
I learned who my real friends are
I learned so many things...
when I thought it was getting better....it went back down...
my faith got stronger,
My love for the Lord got depened.

God has just worked so amazingly in my life, and worked in my heart.
My love for Him has never been this strong.
I have learned more than I ever have before.....

And it all started....
with Him. and me.

This blog is about the journey of my perfect love story
