Life...it's all about hopes, dreams, love, loss, everything. Your life is a gift no matter how you look at it, if there is pain there is always something to learn from it. If there is loss then there is something great to look back on. If there is love then there is always someone there to look to. If you have hopes and dreams then you have something to look foward to. God is everything, he is Love, He is hope and dreams, although I wouldn't exactly say he is loss, but when you do seek after God you do lose all the hate and sin and evil that Satan tries to attack you with.
Bottom line, God is life. Without God, there is no life. God helps you in life, and He loves you all of your life.
Once I went on a youth group trip and I saw so many youths praising God with all of their hearts and not caring what others thought about them. I think that if eveyone thought like that then there would be a lot more worship then there is today. We need to use this life God gave us and worship like no one is watching. God loves you and wants your praise.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
P.S. Pray everynight, and anytime you have the chance! God Loves You, always!

Climb on!!!
My friend just wrote something that said “Life is a climb, but the view is great.” Wow!! A whole bunch of thoughts about this quote popped in my head so I am going to share them with you.
When I read this quote I pictured myself climbing a mountain. (I have climbed a mountain but not really climbed it, if you know what I mean. I would like to one day though.) Okay back to what I was saying. It can be hard to climb there are loose rocks, small animals that slither or crawl, and big rocks. However some parts of the climb might be easy. Just like life you have hard times and good times. But every thing you go through good or bad there is always something good at the end. Just like climbing the mountain it takes sweat, blood, and strength to climb that mountain. You might get hurt, you might slip, but when you reach that top it is the most beautiful view you will ever see.
It reminds me of Romans 8:28-And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Well that’s US!!
Trials will come it even says that in John 16:33. But God has overcome the world!! Don’t focus on the situation as a downer or you’re a failure, look at it as a time to grow, learn from the bad times. God is with you the whole way!! And the view will be great when its all over!!

By your side...
Well I heard this song calleed by your side. Well it just really spoke to me and when you are reading these lyrics I want you all to think and know that God is sying this to you and only you:
By Your Side by: Tenth Avenue North
Why are you striving, these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying? Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child?
Tell me where will you run?
To where will you run?
Cause I'll be by your side whenever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
yeah my hands are holding you
Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the worlds sin, so I could carry you in
And give you life, I wanna give you life
Cause I, I love you
And I want you, to know
That I, I love you
And I'll never let you go
In this song(even though other people wrote it) God is trying to tell you that He will be with you whatever, and whenever. Even if everyone else fails, or gives up on you God will always be there for you. When it seems like your life is worth nothing and you feel like a faiure or giving up God will always lift you up. You never have to worry about anything because God is with you. He loves you and nothing can change that, whatever you do that you think no one can forgive you for, God will forgive you and guide you. You may think that God isn't there and He doesn't love you so you search everywhere else for love and when that love fails you God is still there, just seek God and He will be there. You can get through everything with God. His love is stronger than anything and everything. He loves you so love Him back!!! :D

Jesus is the Answer!
We just sang an old song in church last Wednesday and Sunday; it's called "Jesus is the answer" I’m going to share the lyrics with you.
Jesus is the answer
for the world today
Above Him there’s no other.
Jesus is the way
If you have some questions in the corners of your mind,
Traces of discouragement and peace you cannot find,
Reflections of your past seem to face you everyday,
But this one thing I do know: Jesus is the Way
What a great song, What a great reminder that Jesus is the answer to everything.
It says in Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
Psalms 32:8 “ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
Jesus truly is the answer for YOU!! Sometime this week when you don’t know the answer to something, maybe you get confused. I encourage you to trust God, and look to God for the answer. And just like Chelsea mention take your defense down and let God have His way.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

lay down my guns...
So how have all of you been? Well have you ever heard of the group called Sanctus Real? Well they are a christian band and they sing a song called "Lay down my guns" This song really called out to me. The chorus is:
When i lay down my guns and lift my hands
surrender to love and live again
my this desert reach its end where my new life begins
when I lay down my guns and lift my hands
well there is more to the song but this really called out to me. I believe it is saying that if you put down your defences and just lift your hands to God and not worry about anything else and just praise God that is when you are truley worshiping God. It doesn't matter what others might say or think as long as you just praise God you will be ok! I think if everyone put aside what they thought people would say about them, they could really have a close relationship with God. So I challenge you today and for the rest of your lives to worship God anyway you can and don't be afraid of other people say becasue they are just people, God is the one you really should be concerned about, so just worship God however you need to and just love God and you will know he loves you back. It may be difficult at times, believe me I know, but you can get through anything with God. He is always there even if everyone else leaves, He is always with you.

P.S. God Loves You!

start over...
Now all of you out there reading this blog are beggining your new life with God. I am just here to help you along your path of righteousness. Maybe some of you have already tried to walk this path but maybe you just now need a little help. Some maybe stuck..you want to hear God and understand Him but the truth is He is always talking to you, but if you never take the time to listen you will never hear Him. I am not sure if you know this or not but under God you are royalty. In God you are a prince of princess, we are the childeren of God and that is something to be very excited about. What ever you are going through God will help, weather it is family problems, depression, work, school, everyday things, He will help. Yes, this journey maybe difficult but with God you can get through anything. God will guide you and lead you and love you no matter what happens he is always there for you. The other night God showed me two really important verses and I think he wanted me to share them with you.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you in my vitorious right hand.
-Isaiah 41:10
God is trying to tell you that there is no reason to be afraid because he is with you always and don't be discouraged because He is YOUR God. He will always help you, strenthen you, and he will always hold you with his right hand, YOU ARE ROYALTY!!
Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out one after another, calling each by it's name. And He counts them to see that none are lost or have strayed away.
-Isaiah 40:26
In this verse we, His people, are the stars and he is calling to us each by name. He is watching us and he is making sure we don't lose our way and He doesn't want us to stray away from Him and His wonderful love.
So you see there is no reason to fear, for He is with us. It doesn't matter what others think becasue He is our God and He is the only one who matters. Praise Him for He is our God and He is here..He wants you to be His. Follow after God for He loves us and always will!
