It's all about perspective

"When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry. Show life a thousand reasons to laugh." I say laugh here because laughter doeth good like a medicine. And plus, I dearly love to make all my friends laugh. And even the people I don't know. I like seeing people happy. And when my friends are down, I want to do my absulute best to help them become happy again. I want to fix the hurt. This applies to anyone who has reached the status of my best friends. Because above all else, I am loyal. And I want to fix the pain. I hate to see the people I love hurting. "Good friends will be a shoulder to cry one when you need one. But best friends will have a shovel ready to bury the loser who made you cry." I do both. I don't want anyone to be hurting. But I know that I can only help so many people. So I try to help where ever my sphere of influence can reach. If a friend comes to me crying they can expect to leave either laughing or at least comforted. The other day one of my best friends called me up and was crying. And by the end she was laughing, and I was so happy that I could do my part. Even when I'm hurting for whatever reason. I still try my best to laugh and help anyone I know who is hurting to laugh often. There is a fan page on facebook that I really like "I love the person who has every reason to break down and cry but they are still smiling." I try so hard to be that person! And I've found the secret to this, is contained in one word: JESUS! He will be my strength, He will never let me down, He will always be there for me! So when life gives me a hundred reasons to cry, all I need to say is one word and it implys a thousand reasons to laugh! =D Thank you so much, Jesus! =D Another of my favorite sayings? "When life gives you lemons laugh and throw them back." XD And if you don't know me, I think you can kinda get an idea of my personality by that saying. 'Specially since I wrote it... =P XD

Trusting in Jesus

All praise be to Jesus

"Hey now this is my desire. I just want something beautiful to touch me." "The desire of my heart is to bring You praise from the inside out, oh, my soul crys out. Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fails. Never ending Your glory goes beyond all things. Let the cry of my heart be just to bring You praise from the inside out..." Oh Jesus, this really is the cry of my heart. It is amazing how much we can learn in just one day if we open ourselves completely to Jesus. If we let nothing else get in the way, and if we just have an actual need for Jesus. If we let ourselves lean completely on Jesus, he will be our strength and strong tower of refuge. I have learned this that Jesus will always be there! He will never let you down! Right now God has me being a good friend and encourager to lots of different friends. God has given me an ability to listen, and then he gives me the words to say to comfort and help those people. And I find if I don't give all those burdens to Jesus, they just bring me down. So Jesus really is my "Strong tower. High and glorious, Strong Tower. Lord of love". I love Jesus! He is my everything. He is my life! I don't know if any of this made sense.... I'm kind of in a rush. But I hope it blesses you.

Songs and my life

I've some how managed to almost always have a song stuck in my head. Or blips of songs. Not that it is always bad, but it annoys my family. Right now I have encouraging bits of songs stuck in my head: "My God is mighty to save. He is mighty to save! Forever, author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Yes he conquered the grave. Shine your light and let the whole world see, we're singing for the glory of the Risen King. He is mighty to save!" and "Hold me in Your arms never let me go I wanna spend eternity with you (Jesus)." Jesus really is my strength and my tower of refuge. "Your (Jesus) all I want. Your all I've ever needed. Your all I want, help me know You are near." I often add blips of songs into whatever situation I am in. That is one thing I so enjoy with my family, whatever situation we happen to be in, we know a song for (generally a funny one). Just one of the usual things about my family.... =D

Lights among the Darkness

"So carry your candle. Run to the darkness. Seek out the lonely and light up their darkness. Carry your candle for all to see. Light up the world..." We are put on this world to be a light among the darkness. We must shine where we are placed. "Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words." We are supposed to preach Jesus through our actions. Yes, we can use words where necessary, but we are not supposed to beat Jesus down people's throats. I have a few friends who have turned away from Jesus because of this. We are not supposed to be like "your wrong here and here and here" that is Jesus' job, not ours! We are supposed to be lights by our actions. Our words can help, but not if we beat others down. "The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people." <-- And why is that? Shouldn't everyone want to be our friends? Because we are supposed to be lights, so that darkness can't hide. Chase it away!

Is it about eating Chocolate Bunnies?

Today is Easter. Or as some Christians say, resurection day. But what is Easter, really? I mean, for most people it is the day to eat candy, go to sunrise service, do easter egg hunts, and take some extra days off school and work. But seriously, why was this holiday origonaly created? So we can spend a day bitting the heads off chocolate bunnies? NO!! It is to remind us what Jesus did for us. I mean, the horrible sacrifice he did. For ME!!! He loves me that much. The least I can do is remember that. And thank him. On today, at least. But also on every day.
"All for Jesus, I surrender. All to Him I freely give." Ever thought of the implications of this? I mean, Jesus loves us unconditionaly (that thought is the most mind-blowing EVER), the LEAST I can do is give my life to him. ALL of my life. Without compliant, without "Whying" Jesus. Just doing it. That is the hardest thing that I have ever done/am doing. It is hard not to question Jesus. Sometimes, all we want to do is our own way. But if we do what Jesus wants us to do, instead, we make our faith stronger. We make Jesus happy. And to please Jesus, that is what I am here for, isn't it? That is what life is about! Pleasing Jesus in the small things, makes doing it soooooo much easier in the large things. And it is worth it. Even if it seems like nothing could be worse, Jesus will help you through it! Jesus died for us, so that he could be here, with us, in every aspect of our lives. And we deny him this? why?!?! Jesus, my prayer is that you make me all for you. That every choice I make in life, will be for you. You have given me a free choice in everything I do. I pray that I chose it for you. Jesus, you are my all, my everything. And I love you, Jesus. May you always reign in my life!
