Love Others
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…

To My Ever-Dear Junior High Girls
Tweet Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week because Wednesday is the day I get to go to church and hang out with a bunch of totally awesome junior-high girls. They are the sweetest girls, and are constantly a source of laughs and encouragement. God has blessed me in so many ways, and I have been able to see how the experiences I have had so far in my life have enabled me to help them and minister to them. Although, I have had my share of pain and hurt God has used each experience to shape and mold me. And even though I’m still young, I can see…

The Fun of Reaching Out
Tweet So many times I have been tempted to look at my circumstances and think about how lonely or bad they were. I often wish that I was invited to do stuff on Friday nights..but last night I realized it’s not about me and what I want to do. I am helping with the junior high girls club this year, and it has been a blast. One of their moms asked me to go trick-or-treating with her daughter and some friends. I said yes, but at first I thought, I’d rather go hang out with friend’s my age..but I had so much fun with them!! We laughed as we went…

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…
