This post is quite honest. We are not promised tomorrow. God can take us at any moment. We have no promises of tomorrow. And this sometimes doesn't seem to click in our heads. Often we pass up moments. We pass up moments to complete tasks and put them off right away. We pass up moments to tell people how much we appreciate them. We pass up moments to study God's word. We pass up moments everyday and part of me thinks that maybe Satan is causing this. So never pass up and opportunity.

One second people say they care about something and the next it might seem like they disappear. And honesty maybe that is the way it is supposed to be. God has a reason for everything that happens. Everything he causes us to go through. Everything that we experience, God has his reason for. So if it seems the someone says they care about you and the next moment they are gone, maybe there is a reason. Maybe there is a reason God has erased them from your story.

Sometimes people are so very cruel. They are not following how God wants them to act. In all honesty they are following Satan and their words should neither hurt us or even matter to us. God is what honestly should matter. God  has a reason for everything that happens to us. Sometimes it is hard to realize this. Sometimes we let peoples words into our minds and hearts and allow Satan to win the game. Honestly peoples words should not hurt us. But sometimes peoples words hit so much harder then they should and we are afraid to admit it. But honestly God forgives you for everything, so why not admit that we let someones words that Satan caused them to say hit our hearts harder than we should. God will forgive you, I promise.

What you put up with is what you will end up with. You can only expect the things that you accept in your life.

We pay so much attention to our reflections in the mirror. We complain about the way that we look, and spend so much time looking at ourselves in the mirror. We look at our reflection in the mirrors as we change, as we brush our teeth, as we wash our faces, as ladies put their make up on, and as we brush our hair. We spend much of our time looking at our reflection and I just want to remind my audience that a mirror is just a piece of glass. A piece of glass costs nearly nothing compared to what and who we actually are.

Numbing the pain honestly will do nothing for you. It will cause you a temporary fix if anything at all. And Dumbledore is 100% right, if we numb the pain for a while it will only make it worse when it finally begins to be felt by you, and then in the end you will just be hurting worse.

A goal is something amazing, but if you haven't decided on a plan for that goal, how will that goal really happen? We all have goals, and some goals we make never happen because of the fact that we never plan. Plans are something important. They help us prepare for the future. But a goal without a plan is just something you are wishing for. And let's be honest for a moment, can we really complete all of our wishes if we have no plans to make it into a goal?

You decide what mood you have. You decide whether you are happy or whether you are sad. You decide to smile. You decide to frown. Some people, sometimes do not realize that we are the ones in control, they think we have absolutely no  control. In all reality all we have to do is think about. We are the ones who think about whether we are sad. We are the ones to think about whether we are happy. It is all just in our minds.

He is the one writing the story of your life. And some days it might be hard to stop, and remind ourselves that he is the writer of our life. It might be difficult for us to remember and some days we might want to take all the credit. But he is the reason we even walk the earth today. And he will be the to finish our stories. He started them and he will be the one to finish them. Also take a moment to read Philippians Chapter 1. I think I will.

Keeping tracks of the mistakes we've made isn't doing anything. Its only hurting you in the end. You just need to realize for a moment it is time to forgive yourself.

God is the one that is making things happen for you. Sometimes it might be hard to admit it, because sometimes we all think that it is us and only us, making things happen for us. Even when we don't see it. Admit it, we almost never see it. Even if we don't feel it, he is still the one making things happen for us. Sometimes it might be evident but take a moment and realize god is answering your prayers. This is why things happen for us.  Just have a little faith. Grow a little. Christian Challenge last night was just what I needed. I hadn't been to church in three weeks, church of any kind. So to hear God's word last night honestly made life just a little bit better.

I am stronger because I needed to be. Someone hurt me and I didn't like the way it caused me to feel. So from that moment I decided I needed to be stronger. I'm smarter because of my past mistakes. And honestly I know that we all make mistakes but some mistakes I cannot seem to forgive myself for. So the only way I could of even think about recovering from my previous mistakes was to be smarter.  I'm happier because of the sadness I've known. At times its caused me to realize that life is not always bad. Because I know what it has felt like being sad has caused me to want to be happy.  Now I am wiser because I have learned various things. And in all reality learning is what makes us stronger, smarter, happier, and wiser.

It is true at times it makes me sick to think about how easily you tickled my sides. You are the reason the ticklish side of me left, and hasn't returned. It makes me sick to think that you tricked me so easily. You made me feel like you actually cared about me. That I mattered to you. What if you are not the only one? What if every person I have ever met has been doing this to me. What if I can never trust anyone again? It would be all because of you.

This is very true. Although I love scary movies, they are always in creepy places. Why not do one in a location where everyone is familiar. Why not Walmart? I work for walmart, and sometimes it's a creepy place.

This was my childhood. Just a little early throw back action. Enjoy!

Sometimes our fears seem to be so big. Big enough to touch the sky. Big enough to fill up an entire swimming pool. Big enough to crush us. But sometimes you need to let your fears shrink. Your faith sometimes may seem so very small but in the end we need to let our faith grow and our fears shrink. Our faith is quite important and our fears really shouldn't matter. We need to let things go sometimes. Our passion should always be bigger than our fears.

The idea of being in love is such a good thought sometimes. The concept of love is just a beautiful idea. Two minds can just begin getting along oh so well. It's a magical feeling. Many just fall in love with the idea of being in love.

Many people will tell you that the sky is the limit, that you can't outreach the sky. But really think for a moment. No one can touch the sky, except the astronauts. And in all reality even they can't really touch the sky. I know that this means that there are no limits for us to experience. So in all reality our limits are set in our mind. It depends if we tell ourselves. We can do this. Our mind is the limit. So think you can do something. And you shall be the one succeeding next time.

This is true. I do have a million and thousand ways to feel happy and be happy. I live a very blessed life. Not just today, but everyday. But in all reality it is true for you too. Sometimes we just need to stop and take a moment to think about something happy. Think about our blessings. Realize sometimes when life feels rough, you just need to remember life is not so bad. Yesterday was a very stressful day for me, but never did I once take a moment and stop and think what are the reasons I should be happy today? What are my blessings? I feel if I would of stopped and just taken a moment or a second to think what makes me happy, or what are my blessings it might have gotten just a wee bit better. 

Do not doubt how far you can go. Set your wishes and goals high, and your dreams even higher. You can accomplish whatever you want to. Remind yourself how many obstacles you have climbed.  Remind yourself you are capable of the moon if you wanted to be.  Remember everything you have faced, battles you have accomplished. Trust me we all have some issues. And remember everyone has fears too.

We all have a journey. We all have came a very far way. Traveled many seconds, many moments, many hours, many days, many weeks, many months, many years. But what we need to do is remember how far we have gone not just how much further we have to go. You are not where you want to be but you are also not where you used to be. Everyday is a new adventure.

Ladies... (And maybe even GENTLEMEN): Please do something for me. Yes ME!!!! Respect yourselves. Let me go ahead and repeat myself... RESPECT YOURSELVES. If you can't take a moment and respect yourself how can some girl (or guy) do that for you. If you cannot respect yourself then how can someone respect you more then you respect yourself. We should respect ourselves more than others. The world sees you how you see yourself. If you don't stand up for yourself, better be ready to keep tumbling down.

You honestly can be absolutely anything in this entire world. It's true. So why not just be kind someone is kind, all that matters is you are kind.  Being kind is something that people of today's world need to learn. Just take a moment and be kind to others.

Sometimes you just need to not think. Close your eyes and clear your mind. Sometimes you just need to stop wondering, stop imagining, stop obsessing.  You need to breathe. Have faith. Realize everything works out for the best. Sometimes you just need to take a moment and realize.

Knowledge Dropped

Hey guys and gals, you want a moment of truth? Good, because I was going to tell you anyways. You will always be too much of something for someone. No matter what you think, and no matter what they say. Someone is always going to believe you are too much of something. But stop caring. Give up. It doesn't matter. What you need to do is be yourself anyway. Because your opinion of yourself is what actually matters the most.

Dory gives some wonderful advice in Disney's Finding Nemo. Sometimes life is going to pull you down it seems. Sometimes life will be rough and might drive you nuts. Then you just need to pick your self up, and not care about what just happened. You need to just let it go. Keep on swimming with your day!

Some days I feel this way. I don't know if it was our friendship that caused me to love you. And you don't hate me now, but since we broke up I barely hear from you. You went from being my best friend, someone I talked to daily, to someone I barely hear from.  I remember what you said after me and you finally broke up. But the words you spoke never made too much sense to me. You weren't there entirely by my side because you were involved in military life. But one moment you were there always messaging me being a support system and then you weren't there any longer. No longer someone to support me. You had my heart and I had your heart. We called it love so i stuck around. Maybe I stuck around for too long maybe not long enough. But I honestly never will forget the way you made my heart race. Made me feel like someday's I was your everything. I will never forget the way you made me feel the moment we broke up and called it quits.

They might not love you the way you want them too. It is understandable. It is life. You do not love everyone the way they love you or want you to love them.  But they love you with all they have. They love you as much as they can love you. Sometimes we need to stop and remind ourselves of that.

I know I have not posted in quite some time. It has been hard with school and work. But tonight I post. Not only because I want to. But today has a little more meaning. September 1st... Today is one year since a friend of mine committed suicide.  Not a day goes by where I don't stop and think, man I wish we would have gotten closer. Been better friends. He always complimented my poetry skills. My writing ability. Always encouraged me to write. So here I am taking a moment to write. And since he was always the one to encourage me to write. I will continue to blog. Start updating more.  And because he is always the one that encouraged. I will start today, one year after his death. RIP Ian... We miss you and love you.
