Just a star is all*

" so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault, in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky!"

this is probably my favorite verse as of right now. There are no words to describe the beauty of a star, and the way the light up the night sky. Without them, the night sky would just be dark and plain, rather than the oustandingly beautiful work of art, so obviously designed by our wonderful creator.

I feel like this verse is saying we can do the same for this world. So many people today are living for nothing, not seeing the eternity in heaven that God has prepared for those who live for him. This nothing  is dark and empty, like a sky with no stars. But as Christians, we know that this world is just the beginning, but never the less, it is a place to glorify his name. By living with purpose, that purpose being for him, we are lighting up this world, and making it more than just a dark place, full of corruption; but rather the absolutely amazing place, that God has given us to shine in.*


And anyways, who wouldn't want to be considered like a star?

"he is my loving ally and my fortress
my tower of safety, my rescuer,
he is my shield, and i take refuge in him."

                                                        "He rescues them from all their troubles,
                                                          the Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
                                                          he rescues those whose spirits are crushed"
"Give all your cares and worries to God,
for he cares about you."

                                                        "The Lord is my helper, so i will have no fear;
                                                          what can mere people do to me?"
                                              

                                My Father is all of these, all of this,
                                    Because he only wants the best,
                                                For his princess.

He's Got it =)

I'm going to stop trying to figure out what my life is going to be like.

Every time I think ive got something figured out on my own,
God has this impressive way of letting me know who's boss.

And the best part is, he does it because he cares,
because he cares sooo much, and I know he only wants the best.

He knows his plan is in my best interest,
even when I forget that myself.

His love for me never ends, and i want him in charge.

"Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that."-- James 4: 14-15

heres to best friends, boots, and bathroom sinks!

this is for you.
In one short year, you've changed my life.

You make me smile, on the worst of days,
and turn those bad days good

We could laugh so hard we cried,
or cry so hard we laughed.

but either way, i know you ll stand by my side
And i hope you know how much this means
<3

"there are friends who destroy each other,
but a real friend sticks closer than a brother."
-Proverbs 18:24

iloveyou--- thanks for being you!

crazy.

this.life.is.crazy.

sometimes
              i forget
                    to stop
                           and smell
                                  the roses.
and remember the thorns on those roses.
Just like the ones my savior wore as a crown
And make this crazy life possible.

happiness.

Whatever happens,
I just want to be happy.

No matter how this plays out,
I want to be able to look on the bright side.

Someday when I'm old and gray,
i want to look back on life and smile.

No matter matter what this life throws at me,
happy is all i want.

" Then jesus said to his disciples, If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, pick up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang onto your life, you will lose it. but if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it"  matthew 16: 24-25
