Tweet Love Others Ever since I can remember, my mother has instilled in me a love for people. She has shown me to love everyone..not just those I would naturally want to love. Until I hit highschool, I just kinda accepted everyone, and thought I loved everyone. I sadly realized I loved the people who loved me, or who were lovely people. But God has placed me in several unique situations where my mom’s lessons of loving others have come shining through. I have worked in day camp the past two summers, and let me tell you..that is the best place to learn how to love others. Some of those…

Tweet This is my current favorite song…it’s by Point of Grace and I love the chorus.. God loves people more than anything God loves people more than anything more than anything He wants them to know He’d rather die than let them go God loves people more than anything It’s so true..and so often, we don’t mirror this aspect of God.

David Ring
Tweet David Ring At our church this morning, David Ring spoke. He was born with Cerebral Palsy, and I think he was the best person I have ever heard speak. He walks with a limp, and talks funny..but that hasn’t stopped him from preaching. He has pneumonia at the moment, but that still didn’t stop him from coming to our church. He challenged us to serve and kept asking us, what is your excuse? I sat there thinking about all the excuses I have given lately for why my spiritual life is slacking and why I’m not serving..and as I went through the list, I just kept looking at Brother…

Daisy
Tweet Daisy.. I read this blog called Day with Daisy..who it is shall remain a mystery to all. But I happen to enjoy reading it, and it never fails to convict me or make me laugh and cry. I long to read what Daisy has written today, to see what thoughts have gone through her head. Although she is older then me, I respect her and look up to her. I think about my own life, and wish I had more time to build relationships with the older women in my life. But they have familes, and I’m so busy with school and cheerleading and work and church and I…

Friends..
Tweet Sometimes, or in my case, most of the time, I take my friends for granted. I don’t often take the time to thank them for who they are..but I have a few minutes and I thought I would seize the opportunity. If I fail to mention you specifically, please accept my utmost apologies, I am thankful for you, I probably just ran out of time. I have so many friends, and I am thankful for each one of you in different ways. Brittany-I don’t know where to begin or what to say! Thanks for being there throughout the years. I am so glad we have stayed friends, and for…

My Dad
Tweet I love my dad so much..He has always been there for me. I can’t ever remember a time when he turned his back, or walked out, even if I had failed him. He’s been my biggest fan and supporter since day one. And also been there to dry my tears. When I was little, we had our little rituals that are etched in my mind. I can remember countless Christmas’ sitting around the tree reading stories, watching the lights flicker around the room. I can remember every spring the flowers he would bring me before my ballet recitals. He never failed. And although he was gone a lot, he…

The Power of Prayer
Tweet In Sunday school this morning, one of my friends’ older brother came and gave a testimony to us. And it really hit me, He was one of those headed-down-the-wrong path teens, and decided to join the Marines. Little did He know the path his life would take. Last January he was sent over to Iraq. From then until September, he was over there fighting for our freedom. And He came home safely and with an new outlook on life. It was awesome to see how our prayers paid off. and on a little lighter note… Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting the same result

My Happiest Childhood Memory (English thing)
Tweet My Happiest Childhood Memory (English thing) I don’t have one specific memory, but I do have memories that I will never forget. Probably my two happiest memories are barbies and ballet. My best friend Megan and I would play barbies for hours. We built houses and lives for them, marrying them off and planning different events for them. Summer pool parties, dances(I was little), and many other things. I know, most of you never experienced this joy, but it was was of my favorite things to do. I finally broke the habit in 6th grade, although there are times I still contemplate getting them all out. My second favorite…
