"Choose life"


Everybody goes through there times of struggle, some are more extreme then others.. I can give you the advice of simply pushing foward, but i would be giving you advice that I can't even take on my own sometimes. We all get sad at points, but you have to know when you cut the sadness and replace it with happiness. I have had countless times of struggle with my family, and I for one don't like struggle or fighting. But all those things is what makes a family grow stronger and stronger over time. My personal struggle has been one that many probably deal with, faith. Having faith in God that everything is going to be alright. And slowly am I myself, learning that no matter what the situation is, he will bring you out in happiness each and every time. But you have to trust in him. And yes you lack faith sometimes but you have to gain it back. Fight for it, and don't give up. 

It doesn't matter how many advice columns, helpful quotes, or people you talk to. People will still try to twist and turn a situation and make up there own silly solution. That's just how society is, they will either listen to everything you have to say and not take anything from it. Or simply not listen at all and come up with there own equation of life. But with a blog like this, i want to help you. I want to help you notice that this isn't something for you just to read and go on with life. Take all of what i'm saying and apply it. You're not the only one who goes through things, i promise you you're not alone, you will never be. If you believe in the Lord or not, he's always by your side and will always win. 



" For God so loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" 
John 3:16


So from one friend to another, keep the faith & choose life.

I love this song and it blends well :o) I hope you like it too

“The love of a family is life's greatest blessing”

Ever hear that saying " Friends come and go but family is forever " .. Well it's true. No matter what struggles you go through in life, your family will always be there. We all have those moments when you feel as if you can do things on your own, or trust your friends more than your family because you can tell them everything and certain things you can't tell your parents or siblings.. Well that's false. There are 3 different ways people deal with there problems..

  1. Keep it to themselves and not giving it to God
  2. Let it out to your friends and have them give you a piece of there own advice
  3. Try and forget it all together

But there are down falls to all of those 3 acts. If you keep it to yourself, your bottling it up and letting it eat away at you. How does that benefit you at all? All that would ever do for me at the time would make me think and think until i would come up with some crazy solution. And as expressing your feelings go to your friends, well it isn't necessarily that bad, that is if your telling the right person. You can tell anyone any story, but just know that story may get twisted. Choosing your friends is a difficult task at times, but finding the right ones is the biggest accomplishment. Those ones who stick around through it all,  the ones that are there for you. Basically, make sure the friends that you have, are truly there for you.  Don't ever try to be someone your not, just because you feel you need to be accepted. You should be accepted for the beauty of who you truly are. And the last thing, trying to forget your problems. You can try your hardest to forget what is pulling at your heart or bothering you, but just know they may come back in the long run. And who wants to deal with something twice, even though they don't want to deal with it the first time? 

Just know that you are not alone with anything that you go through. God is right by your side through it all. He knows what your thinking, how your feeling, what your going through. Cast your burdens at the foot of the cross. I promise, you won't be disappointed, just unbelievably loved :-)


Sorry for the late posts guys, it's been a rough couple of days!

Love - An intense feeling of deep affection

Just another droopy day here in New Jersey, so why not another love post?
I was flipping through channels and stumbled upon a Cinderella Story and felt that it would apply well to this post for the day :-) 


"Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought"

Have you ever felt like your waiting for something or someone and it has yet to come? I can relate to the waiting, many people can. You see a guy or a girl and say "there the one for me i just know it" or maybe you just get that feeling of butterflies in your stomach when he or she comes around. Well sometimes you just have to take baby steps and trust God. He will direct your paths better than you thought you could on your own. But before you make any drastic move, gather your thoughts and gather your heart, make sure you feel very strongly about it. If we went through life loving every single person we talked to, what would love really be defined as? 


In the movie, a breaking point comes in her life, where things that used to matter just don't matter anymore. She has faith and she knows that everything will turn out alright. Take that and make that your new mind set. All those little things that used to matter, put them in your past. If you live life with all of these boundaries, how are you expected to find love? Let loose and just be you. Fight for what you believe in and if your ending didn't turn out the way you planned, just know, something even greater is going to come along. So don't lose faith, simply keep going and in due time, if it's meant to be, it will be. 
And as for us girls, i promise you'll get your Cinderella ending :)

Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.

Today's just one of those rainy days, so I'll start off with a brief quote & a song that has been replaying in my head for countless hours. Just a little pick me up to get your day going and get your mind thinking :-)

"If your head tells you one thing, and your heart tells you another, before you do anything, you should decide if you have a better head or a better heart."


Take this quote, and make it your own. And what i mean by that, is try to apply it to your life. Maybe you have somebody that you love, but they might not be the right person for you, regardless of what the case may be. Do you sacrifice all that stands in your way, just to be with the one you love? Or do you think logically and put it aside and let God work things out? Many people believe all things happen for a reason, as do I. So let that reason take its course. Don't try to discombobulate the situation by attempting to think it through yourself.


I hope this helped out your a day a little! Have a happy Monday! :o)
