Patience

Patience...what is it? I think that it is the grace to wait for something that you think you really need or want. Being patient requires a lot of willpower and a willing heart, but when you wait for something, it always ends up being better than if you rushed it. Good things come slowly. <3

Relaxation

I have recently decided that relaxation is something that you really have to work at. Some people might think that it's easy to just lay back and enjoy your day for what it is. But for me, that type of thing only happens now and again. I have just recently realized that in order to relax, you have to actually try. You have to plan events and activities that you enjoy and you have to just release all of your tension and allow yourself to be calm. Tell yourself that it is o.k. You are allowed to be at ease and at peace... Also, keeping your goals and dreams for life really alive gives you something to look forward to, and you can then be at peace and know that you already have a great God that knows exaclty what is going to happen to you.

Without You

When your not here I feel so dead
You are always terribly missed,
I just lay here in my frozen bed
And dream abotu your soft sweet kiss.

I think about your beautiful face
And my chest just feels so ,
My heart begins to beat and race
I just don't feel that right.

I worry about where you might be
And whether or not your alright,
If only you could be here with me
I would promise we wouldn't fight.

I realize now how precious you are
When I have to be alone,
I feel like you are oh so far
Even when I could just talk to you on the phone.

But I know I shouldnt bother you
I need to give you time,
'Cuz you need a bit of alone time too
I'm just happy that your mine.

Speaking To You

I love it when it is very clear that Jesus is speaking to you. This morning I was feeling a little mad at some people who seem to misunderstand me. I felt like I needed a random touch of encouragement. I typed "Bible Verses" into the search and got this verse.

" I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
1 Corinthians 1:10"

I think that God wants me to stop being angry with others about my school work, and to rather be more understanding of their point of view and to humbly tell them my opinion.

Christmas

Well, it's almost Christmas, although it won't seem like it until we get some snow. It's kind of hard for me to get as excited about Chritmas as I used to. I'm not sure if that happens to everyone as they get older, or if I'm just too busy to think about it. I really hope that it starts to snow soon. I love watching the snowflakes fall, since it makes everything seem so peaceful. It just fills my heart with happiness....

The Snow...

I am so excited about Christmas and the snow...I love the snow. There is something so peaceful and fulfilling about watching the white crystals fall to the ground. They make the world seem quiet and lonely in a beautiful way. It relaxes me to watch the snow swirling outside my window while I read a good book or just daydream. I have so many good memories that come to mind when those white crystals fall to earth. Snow is one of the most peaceful things I have ever seen.

Be Continually in Prayer

The Bible tells us that we should pray always. Some of us think that is a hard thing to achieve. I was just praying and realized that praying gives you a great feeling of peace. Whenever I take one of my worries to the Lord Jesus I seem to feel very relieved. When I read a passage from the Bible that tells me not to worry or that gives me a solution to my problem, I feel a great peace inside of me. I am so happy to have received the gift of Salvation and to be able to say that Jesus Loves Me! Being a Christian is such a wonderful blessing!

Attitude

I have recently realized that if your attitude is possitive then you will most likely be happier. If you respond to negative thoughts and negative situations with a positive thought or solution, you will be a lot more pleased with the outcome. Just having a more possitive outlook on your life will make things easier and more fun. You only have one life so try not to spend most of it being misserable.

The Leaves...

I really love the fall season! The leaves and their changing colours seem to stir a very peaceful and complete feeling in me. I love it when the sun shimmers on the pools of water that have collected in the fallen leaves and when the wind rustles the crunchy leaves beneath your feet. It just seems to be such a wonderful and happy time of year...or for me at least.

Jesus...

Deciding to be friends and have a relationship with Jesus Christ is one of the best decisions that a person can make. Jesus is the kind of friend that is there when nobody else can be, He cares about you even when you don't care about yourself, and He is the only friend that you will ever have who knows more about you than you know about yourself. Jesus Christ is an awesome and forgiving God who wants to keep in touch with you. Talking to Him doesn't have to be difficult, just speak to Him as you would any of your other friends. He cares about you, and He's there if you need Him.
