Thunderstorms

    Right now where I live there are severe thunderstorm warnings in affect.  Are you having any thunderstorm warnings where you live?  It was thundering earlier this morning and it's thundering now.  There is even a tornado warning in affect and that doesn't happen very often!

Beauty in Nature + the Things Around Us

   Today, while I was outside taking a walk with my sister, the green trees were being blown by the wind, giving the illusion that they were waving to me.  I smiled back at them, and they continued waving.  I've had moments when I look at my family and think how amazing they are and that not everybody has a family like I do.  They are very special to me and I would hate to lose them.
   God's beauty is constantly being showed to us.  But do we recognize  and see it? No, not always.  Thank God for his marvelous and beautiful creation, we don't always see it.  We often take it for granted, thinking that it will be there forever, when sometimes it's not.  Thank God and praise him for his amazing and wonderful creation, you'll be happy you did.

Don't Stress, Don't Worry

    In Matthew 6:34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  each day has enough trouble of it's own."  When you worry, you are not trusting in God and you are falling into the temptation of Satin.  Keep your heart, mind, and thoughts on God.  Trust in him, and you will not fall into Satin's trap.  He wants you to fail and lose hope, but God wants you to suceed and never give up.  Hold true to that.

What Should I Blog About?

    Does anyone have any ideas on what I should blog about next?  Should I do a contest?  Something else? I want to write about something that I can easily write about.... Maybe something that will bring happiness and joy to others.

Believe

    Believing in yourself is important.  Once you believe in yourself, you will have the confidence and motivation to do anything.  Confidence and motivation will help you to see that anything is possible with God.  God makes anything and everything possible.  He gives you eyes to see beyond your small world, and into his amazing world.

Treasure Your Life

We have one life, besides when we get to go to heaven to be with God.  Treasure every moment and enjoy it, because it goes by so fast.  Spend time with your friends, and family, and with God.  Spend your time like you have very little of it.

Love Yourself

    It's important to love who you are.  We all have things that we don't like about ourselves, but God made us beautiful.  We are made in his perfect and divine image.  We are like God.  You are lovely and beautiful just the way you are, never change that for anything.  God wouldn't want you to.

Love Everyone

    Most of time it's easy to love your family and friends.  But it becomes harder to love them if they have hurt you, said something to you that made you bad, or said something about you that wasn't true.  We are to love everyone, even our enemies. 
    In 1 John 4:19 it says, "We love because he first loved us."  We are called by God to love others just as he has loved us.  God always loves us, even though we are sinners and make mistakes. He wants us to be like him, so aren't we to be like him and love others through their mistakes?
