How hard?

Life is changing like Fall is changing to Winter.

Life never stays the same. You're faced with challenges, and heartbreaks. You're faced with the un-known.

But, what do you do when someone you love is making a choice you feel in your heart is wrong? Do you stand back, and love them anyways? Do you remember the good times, and keep every memory safe inside your heart?

Being challenged I believe is something God does every once in awhile. He sees if you're truly listening, or willing to listen. What if you're ready to give up though? What if you feel you can't go anymore, and it would just be easier to give up?

Life never goes the way you think it will. It never goes like a perfect fairytale, that you thought about when you were younger. Things change. People change.

You can't live in fear of the un-known though. You can't be scared to live your life, because you're scared of what the outcome will be of that choice. My advice, and what I try to live by, is, what if you never get the chance? Will you regret it? If so, don't. I want to tell the people I love what I truly think. I don't want to live in the fear that I'll never get the chance. I'll live my whole life and never get the chance to voice everything I wanted to say.

Anyways, back to what I was saying. What do you do? For the person you care about, and love. Do you sit back, and watch them learn from their mistakes? What do you do?

I can pray. I know I can do that. And believe me, me and my Heavenly Daddy have many prayer times.

I can hope they'll come around. But I know one thing, you can't make someone change. They have to WANT it on their own. If they don't want it, nothing will happen. So the day they come around and say, "I want a change. I want a change in my heart." That's the day you'll SEE change. And real CHANGE.

But this person, is not someone I believe in giving up on. I believe in the power of PRAYER. And I'll always hold to that.

I don't believe in EVER giving up on someone in my life. I've seen it happen a couple times in my life, and I've made myself a promise, that I won't give up on someone. I won't back down, or tell them they are too much to handle. I don't feel like giving up on someone does anything for anyone. I want to be here for you. I want to challenge you, and see you build in Christ. I want to pray for you. I want to see you walk in TRUTH. I want to see the amazing outcome of it all. I want to see you push through the trials, and conquer the hard obstacles that you face.

I believe in you. I believe in my Heavenly Daddy, and I believe that God can make ALL things new!
=)

How hard would it be to just say to them that you're praying for them? Not hard. It'll be harder to see them fail, and not have any support in this hard time. Tell them you'll be there. Tell them you'll walk with them, and see them on the other side of this obstacle. Tell them you care.

My dreams I feel are sometimes so off pace, but if I never get the chance to accomplish my dreams...I'll just have to make new ones.

Love.

Love is--

1. Waiting instead of hurrying.

2. Showing up when there is no time.

3. Listening rather than talking.

4. forgiving instead of holding a grudge.

5. Assuming the best.

6. Choosing kindness rather than anger.

7. Celebrating instead of envying.

8. Anticipating needs.

9. Choosing to be humble.

10. Never giving up -continuing to the end.

I saw this quote today, and thought it was great. Sadly I didn't write this myself, but I thought I'd share it. =) Love is many different things.

James.

"Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield it's valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Don't grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The judge is standing at the door!
Brothers and sisters, as an example of the patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple "Yes" or "No." Otherwise you will be condemned."

James 5:7-12

These are the verses God brought to my heart tonight, and I wanted to share it because you never know how they can speak to you also. These verses are helping in the season I'm in at the moment. But I know that God is with my forever. Whom shall I fear when He is beside me? No one.

Enjoy, and have a lovely night.

p.s. Go read these verses in your Bible because it may be worded differently, and God may speak to you that way. Take the time to spend it with God.

1st of December.

Never posted this for some reason I'm not sure about....but here you are =)

Hello December!

Well, today was a first in many ways. It was the first snow fall I saw this year (2nd for my town.) Also, it didn't stay very long. Sun came out, and it all melted, but it was a wonderful way to wake up this morning.

I've told myself (and the month of December) that this month is going to be a great month for me. It'll hold a lot of happiness, and things are gonna change for me. Things are gonna start looking up for me. I'm going to become myself again. This is the last month to 2010, and then we'll be venturing out on 2011. Wow, what all will 2011 hold for me? Crazy to think about. Maybe I'll even learn how to FINALLY drive in 2011. I said maybe.

I'm going to fill my room with things that make me dream, and look for the better in everything. My room is my safe haven. It's my hiding place. And this will be the place where I find myself again.

December for me is going to be a good month, because no matter what happens I'm going to make it a good month. When I think of December, I honestly think of sadness. Ask me why, and...I won't tell you. ;) ha. But anyways, it's sadness to me, so I'm going to change that. Myself with God on my side. Because honestly not everything is going to go good for me, not everything is going to go the way I want it to go. although with no matter what obstacles I face, I can make it a good month..and with that I can make this next year a good year! I just have to find the good in everything.

December 1st 2010, wasn't that amazing of a day, but let's see the good in it. I got to spend time with my Heavenly Daddy tonight at church. I got to be with friends. I got to spend time with my Momma earlier today. All good things :) I'm trying to see the brighter side to my life lately. I'm tired of seeing the cup half empty instead of full.

I've realized that at different times I will get on little hypes of wanting to write, and getting inspired, and then I'll have a long time of having nothing to write. Right now I want to write all the time, even if it doesn't make sense. =) So, expect me to take a break here soon because I've lost my inspiration.

This is my month to shine. My month to accomplish the rest of the stuff I wanted to do in 2010. Like get my ears pierced. Or learn how to drive. This is my month. I will conquer the challenges, and obstacles. I will face my fears, and I will live this life with a smile on my face.

I'm a big girl, I can handle it.

P.S. December was a good month for me. I didn't learn how to drive but I did get my ears pierced!!!!!!!! =)
