I Love Flowers

I need to stop and smell the flowers more often, because what is more lovely than that?

You're Not Alone

Yeah, sometimes you might feel alone and maybe you feel like life isn't going well, but remember what Christ went through. 

He was beaten for us. 
He was tortured for us. 
He even died for us. 
And then rose again on the third day.

And once we rememeber that, we realize that God loves each and every one of us. 

Look, nobody's perfect. So don't become depressed when you make a mistake (I do sometimes, but that's stupid). 

Just repent, and keep moving forward. 

I wish you would realize how much your life can change if you just start praying and talking to God about anything on your mind. 

If you're sad, tell Him.
If you're lonely, ask Him to be with you. 
If you're happy, thank Him.
Try to thank Him for everything actually. 

I'm not saying that I'm perfect or an expert, but let's all try and trust in Him more and everything will eventually fall into place. 
Keep going! WE GOT THIS.

And God bless. 

PS Reading Psalms out loud is a great way to start.

Dear Friends,

Far too often in my life I become dissatisfied. 

But the thing is that I take my life for granted.

And even more, I take for granted the power that each of us has to impact others' lives. 

Whenever Christmas rolls around, I always want to watch the movie called "It's a Wonderful Life".

It's in my top 10 movies (and I've watched a lot of movies so that just shows you how good it is). 

I watched it today, and started crying a little bit actually when George (the main character) realized how blessed his life actually was and how many people he helped just by showing some kindness and compassion. 

This year, I have a lot of things to work on, but I think that one of the most important things is to learn to find value in helping others. 

I can be self-centered, but it is now time to stop thinking about myself and start thinking about my neighbor. And by neighbor, I mean everyone else haha

Of course, I should keep trying to improve myself, but maybe by helping others instead, I can become a better person in the long run. 

Make sense?

So, this year, instead of feeling sorry for myself and being wimpy, I promise you all that I'm going to try- really try- to overcome my obstacles and become a selfless person.

Because then, I believe, I will become closer to who I am meant to be.
