So I'm a day late, at least a buck short.
I've got no Chance to make this on my own.
I don't have it made, I'm nowhere near the shade .
will you step in this life and take ccontrol?
Are you still there and do you care about what I'm feeling now?
I'd like to see what i could be without this holding meDown,
but I'm too scared of taking this chance and failing.
I'm always waiting
Procrastinating i feel so
Useless on my own.
You're always waiting just in time
To save me I'm not so useless
I'm not alone
---thankyou. stellarkart. for. reciting. my. life. story.---

all for...
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
-John 3:16
So this is the most common verse ever right? I'm pretty sure I'm not alone when i say that I've been mindlessly reciting it since like age four. But what we don't realize, is that this is the promise of a lifetime, all for us
God sent his one and only son, the perfect lamb, to come and live among us, in this sinful world, but remain perfect and pure, all for us.
But we rejected this perfect child, this light unto the world, the best gift anyone could ask for. We rejected him, rejected his word, and his promises for us. We rejected him to the point that we crucified him. He was crucified on a cross, because we wanted this world, all for us.
But his death was our second chance. Because he died, we don't have too. Well maybe to this world, but, because of his death, we are promised eternal life, in a place of perfection. He died, so that we could live, completely selflessly. all for us.
And for this promise, can we not for once make this all about us? all about our worldly needs and desires? He did this all for us,
so i want to live all for him.

inspired.
im looking for inspiration.
waiting for a hint of motivation.
I want to make a change.
I want the world to know I'm different.
And most of all, i want it to be for him
and his glory alone.
For it is he who saves
and through his blood, his body, his life
lives are made new.
And we can be his disciples
A light unto the world.
Now i just need to start.

Christmas lists.
"Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, the desires of your heart will also be."
-Matthew 6:19-21
"Yet true godliness with contentment, is in itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into this world, and we cant take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content."
- 1 Timothy 6:6-8
"Those who love money, will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. so what good is wealth- except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers?
-Ecclesiastes 5: 10-11
With Christmas coming, its soo easy to long for material things, and i often find myself thinking so much about what i want, or what would make me look so much better, and sometimes even complaining about a lack of stuff. Its so easy to forget that that the holiday are really about the birth of our savior. The king of kings, that was born in a manger, the most plain, not extravagant materialistic birth a child can have. And then he saved our lives. And he saved it so that we could have an eternity bout a gazillion times better than any material things we Can create now. but it seems like this holiday is being used instead, to show that his promise of eternity isn't good enough, so we need to have all we can on this earth. Christmas should be about the birth of a savior, and if anything, a reminder that we don't need material possessions to be happy. but here i am, writing a Christmas list.

you've got a friend in me =]
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."- Anais Nin
--- Sooo i probably have the greatest friends ever. I'm realizing lately, that theres no better feeling than being with someone, and knowing you don't have to be anyone but yourself. Its an amazing feeling to be completely comfortable with a person, because you know they've seen all sides of you, and still choose to be there one hundred percent of the time. I'm learning that friendship isn't about learning how to fit in, its about realizing theres a spot where you fit in perfectly. And that, is what i think I'm starting to find. =) ----

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.
