CHRISTmas memories

Well this Christmas was no disappointment....it was my first white CChristmas in awhile and I am thrilled about that. The presents were good..they always are...I am so blessed. I'm blessed to have the parents that I have...2 parents that work hard each and everyday in order to provide for my brothers and me. I got this box drum that I have been really wanting, now its time to put it to good use....and we got some new clothes and some xbox stuff....but I think that so many people today get lost in what the true meaning of Christmas is...even me...Ya know when I think of Christmas what I think of is my family getting together and spending the days laughing and carrying on. I think of all of the great friends that I have been blessed with...the ones at home and the ones that are with me at college that help me get through each and every day of the relentless studying and school work. There is this one special one who I have met through a theater class and had bio with them....they mean the world to me and have no idea how much they have helped me in my life just this semester. This person is so very special to me and I don't know what I would do without them....even though all those things are important in life, but sometime I get lost in what the true meaning Christmas should be. Its about the birth of my Savior and Lord Jesus...I know alot of people think about the manger and all, but my pastor always reminds us that its not just about the manger at Christmas time...its also about the cross...because in order for Jesus to die on the cross for my sins he had to be born in that manger. So I just want to say thanks Jesus...I know you didn't have to and I know you really shouldn't have had to...cause you were and ARE God. But I thank you for loving me enough to do that and to die on the cross for my sins...thank you soo much!!!

This time of year is usually the happiest for me...I am out of school and am at home with my friends and family that I love. But this year something different as come up, I am not sure what I am to do with my life in its relational aspect. I know God has a plan for me and my life, but sometimes I just don't see it, and wish he could just talk to me through a bush like he did Moses. But I know he knows what is best for me. All I can do is hold onto the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, which says that God knows exactly what is in store for me in the future, and that those plans are not to make me sad or miserable but happy and full filled. So God all I need from you is answers...all I want from you is answers...so I think I will just listen for that still small voice and let it lead me through these troubling times....I will just sit and wait for answers.......

Bringin it...

So today me and my brother and his girlfriend started the P90X workout and let me tell you I didn't think it was possible to work out as hard as I did...but when that dude tells you to Bring It...you better Bring It. I feel like my abs are about to cramp up at any time...ha ha but I guess the saying no pain no gains needs to be my motto from here on out....right?

There are so many times in life that we feel that we just cant go on and need an energy boost. And tonight was definitely one of those nights. I am so thankful that the Thanksgiving holiday is around the corner and that I will be able to rest and hang out with my friends and family for once...But as far as holidays go this is my favorite time of year....I hope everyone has as good of a time as I know I am.

What I need....

God I just find myself wanting more and more of you each and everyday, but there always seems to be something that gets in the way of the me wanting you part. Lord, I want to want you with all that I am and I need to need you with every part of my being, but Lord you know I can't do it without you. If you could just give me the strength to be all that you want me to be and all that you made me to be. Lord, in MY weakness show YOUR stregnth...

Lord when I am sinking reach out and grab me with your victorious righteous right hand and pull me back to your side. Is it just me or do I find it so difficult to be your child in todays time...I need your strength more then ever, and I know that there are many out there like me who need to see your hand at work in their lives as well...

Lord, no matter what I will praise you in everything that comes my way...I will exalt you in every trial in my life...there is nothing that I need more then to be by your side and in your loving arms...Lord, no matter what you will always be my treasure.....No Matter What.
