"What ever you are be a good one."


" Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have."- 1 Cor. 13:5-6

I often find that I am self centered. The hardest thing to admit is that you in fact care about your needs more than others, or self pity yourself. Despite all these things, often we don't ask for help when we really need it. We think we can do it ourselves, not realizing that we are cheating ourselves of being the best we can be. Sometimes it takes someone to tell you that you don't have to do it all. This is when you know you have found true love. Once you find someone who doesn't give up on love, cares more about you than for his or her self, and isn't always looking for the next thing.. that has Jesus most often written all over it.

For myself I once again believe that there is someone put on this earth to help you. Jesus always has the best timing in things of this nature... these people help you become the best you can be. I believe that is why Jesus gave us relationships.. to help love others better. So if it's a friend, mom, dad, grandma, or significant other find him or her. You find that whatever you are you will be the best one.. not just a good one.

Trying Over


Time is a funny thing. Often times we think it goes so slow, but then when we least expect it years will pass by and we realize that life is moving fast around us and in the slow moments we need to fully appreciate that time. Spring time is arriving once more, and life is changing as I know it. Most often I forget the simple truth Psalm 43:2 states, "For You are the God of my strength." Spring time is a time of business and the only reliable strength is God. I know that may sound cliche.. and sometimes it's okay to be cliche because the truth resounds just the same. God is our strength. How lucky are we that we get to rely on something so big. God is love. I want to love like Him. So take a spring walk, put on spring clothes, go on a picnic! Don't waste your time or wish for it to go faster soak in what you have.
