| no one likes change and it will always be hard, but in the end it will always be for the best. what can i say? growing up seems to get harder as the years go by but the lessons we learn seem all the more worth it as look back on everything God has really taught us. why is it that the most important lessons in life we tend to learn through going down roads we never intended to take in life? i seem to ask myself "what was i thinking?" and "how could i have ever thought that that was okay?" and even more important questions like "how could i have been so blind to think that maybe the selfish things i do won't have consequences to my future?" i am just so thankful to say that God is not only a God of second chances but a God of many chances. for far too long i really thought i could handle life on my own and God could just take a backseat in my life and i would just take the wheel and control it all. i left new york thinking i knew so much about life and that i had it all figured out but when i got to florida and got away from my life...i realized that i knew absolutely nothing about anything. how little i knew about life and how little i still know. all i know is that im so thankful God never gave up on me when i thought i really didnt need Him to govern my life. i know He's still working on me, and i think that is so encouraging. How amazing is He? that is what real love is made of. His love never ever fails me, but why do i keep failing Him? all i know is that i don't want to ever make any more decisions without God having a hand in it. im done with all that. i just want to live a life God is pleased of. God has a purpose for everything, and all things work together for good (Rom.8:28). Thank God for all His promises!
a new year, a new perspective, a whole new life...living for the One who died for me.
pray for me...
just trust God and everything else wil just fall into place.. | | |
| The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I dont know the reason why you brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I will go through the valley
If You want me to
Now I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my own
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to | | |
| God, I think you are so amazing as you keep showing me that more and more each day...
Lord,
"please take from me my life
when i dont have the strength
to give it away to you"

| after being MIA for over three
months, im finally home!!! did anyone miss me? its funny how i thought
i reallly missed new york like crazy but when i came back nothing in
this place seemed to have changed but me. same old people with the same
old situations and the same old stories. i love nyc but it just gets
old sometimes. going away for college was one of the best decisions i
ever made for myself. so many things have changed since ive been
gone and it has honestly has changed so much for the better. i actually
feel like im going somewhere with my life and not wandering aimlessly
here with no purpose. God really knew what He was doing sending me away
from this place. It was really what i needed to reprioritize my life.
What i have come to realize is that in the end we can plan and plan our
lives but they will never turn out the way we expect it to, i think
that is the beauty to life. i had so many plans for myself but God
showed me that He had better things for me. Why didn't i realize that
before? i was so set on my own plans for my life that i never stopped
to think that it wasn't what God wanted for me. how could i have been
so blind to that? living life for yourself is an empty empty thing. who
would have thought? i have been trying to run my life myself for far
too long and look at the mess i have made...and when i finally learned
to let go and let God have control my life...God gave me the peace that
i have been searching for, He gave me joy that i have never really
experienced before. it was such an easy concept but why did it take so
long for me to realize it? All i know is that God is just this amazing
being who loves me even though i end up screwing up time and time
again. Even thought i never deserved His love, He offers it to me time
and time agen.
i fear growing up but it had to happen sometime...
"when God takes something away, He always replaces it with something better"-ate airish (how truee!!)
the best is yet to come...
