God is Good, all the time...all the time, God is Good

So I just wanted to take a minute to say how awesome God is. He is always faithful to me, and no matter what i am going through, HE is always there for me. God has opened up so many doors for me, and HE has been the way, the truth and the life. I love how God works through different people, and those people who do something for you, don't really know how much a small act of kidness means to me. God is gracious to me when i need it and when i don't. The times that i am so overwhelmed, are the times that he so gently hugs me. I love Him for that...He is my daddy and no matter what i am going through, HE will hold me tight...
so all i have to say is GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME...ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!!!!

Birthdays

Well, today marks anothr birthday for me. Even though I have no family around me today, I really do. I have my friends they are truly amazing, and I thank God that I have them. I thank the Lord that I am here, and that I am still alive! Even though I praise the Lord everyday, I think it is sorta cool to have my birthday fall on a Sunday because the celebration is not only about me, it is about my Lord.
Today I am going to church, but then I am going to go get a tattoo! how crazy is that? But, in all things my desire is to glorify God!

Be careful what you pray for

So I was reading in my journal a prayer that I wrote the day I went to the Dominican Republic. As I read through it, I was taken back to the different experiences that I had on the trip. It is amazing how God will really do what you ask him to. For example, this is from my journal: "Father stretch me in ways that i have never been stretched before so that i will have to rely on you and you alone for strength. I am going in place of my Uncle, use me in miraculous ways." What is so neat about my trip is that I was STRETCHED in ways that I had never been stretched before, and I was used in ways that I would never have imagined. God is so faithful and when HE says ask and you will recieve, He means it. Don't mess with God, if you don't really want Him to do something, then don't ask for it.

The Gift of True Friendship

The gift of true friendship is a blessing from
above. It starts out unknowingly then
blossoms without a doubt.

The gift of true friendship cannot be bought
or sold, it develops and over time just watch
the beauty unfold.

The gift of true friendship has value beyond
compare, especially when it touches the
hearts of those whom we hold dear.

The gift of true friendship is a priceless
treasure, which brings with it much joy, and
laughter along with endless pleasure.

The gift of true friendship is to be
acknowledged while here on earth, because
without it what would life be worth.

To the few who are my true friends: THANK YOU.
