each day seems to go by faster and faster. the closer we get to living on our own and experience life for the first time. it is a mixed feeling, excitement and fear at the same time. excited to get out on our feet, but scared of falling down in the real world and not being able to get back up. where to go? what to do ? how to do it? what about a job? where to start first? it all bombards you at the same time. we want or plan to go to college, but how can we afford it without going into debt. its been hard trying to find a company to hire. some have no money to start off. parents try to help as much as they can. But don't let that stop you. some way some how, you can get through this, keep the faith, some how you will. unless of course you choose not to go anywhere, that is exactly what will happen. you have to try before you can fail. you have to fail before you can succeed with the exception in some cases. when you have failed, you learn from the mistake the caused the failure in the first place, like building a toy. the first time around you skip directions and try to put it together all by your self, when you think it is all put together, a piece is missing or it is not working like it is suppose to. finally we go back and look at the directions to assemble it right. there is no big jumbo lettered directions numbered from one to ten. except the 10 commandments along with the bible and yet still, people have a hard time following them. Not trying to down anybody because nobody is perfect, and that includes me: but even if we did have a big ole book that titled " Directions to Life" our first instinct is to throw the book down and try to put it together ourselves. we think " eh who needs directions. Directions are for wimps" we control our lives, our actions. there are people who try and help you, but its your choice whether you want to take it. you control what you do. no one else. we know right from wrong. we know when to turn around and walk away. one little action can go a long way
the first time i remember getting hurt was in california i think,lets say maybe 5or 6, we were visiting family and there house was sitting on top of a gigantic hill and the play ground was of course down the hill. i started running down the hill and the farther down i ran the faster i got. in a split second my feet slipped out from under me and i fell knees first. i looked down and i had rocks in my knee. my mom and dad cam running down too. but were smart enought not to jet down. my dad picked me and carried me back up the hill. BY the time we got to the house i had a pull of blood running down my leg, staining my socks. when we got in the house they washed off my knee and put a big ole bandaid on it. needless to say i was very soar the next couple of days.
other than that i have had many falls, scrape and brusies since then. more or less they are all hilarious, and could have won 10 thousands dollars on AFV.
i am thankful for an extordinary God who has been by my side and for everyday he blesses me and my family.
i am thankful for my family as well, including all my teachers that have helped me get throught the years. i have done it without them.
i am thankful to have a roof over my head and is able to come home everyday to a family.
i am thankful everyday i am alive.
everyday my friends, teachers, preachers and everyone else that wakes up everyday.
if i had a chance to go back, i wouldn't change a thing.
i am thankful that i can go around and help everyone i can.
for the soldiers that are keeping our country free and safe.
For a great church family
and much much more!!!
what are you thankful for?
How much, how much
Do you really know
How much, how much
Well let me tell you
How much, how much
You are loved
These words go out to anyone
Who's ever felt so unlovable
I'd just like to say to you
That lie is so not true
This message is for the broken down
They say you can't turn your life around
No matter what you do
Well that lie is so not true
How much, how much
Do you really know
How much, how much
Well let me tell you
How much, how much
You are loved
Take the depths of the deepest ocean and go deeper
Take the top of the tallest tower and go higher
Take the best day that you've ever had
Try to imagine better than that
And it still don't come close
To how much you are loved
Don't worry about what you've done
God's love goes out to everyone
And here's the wonderful, beautiful truth
That includes me and you
So let it find you where you are
Wrap it's arms around your weary heart
And all the love you're longing for
You'll find all that love and more
How much, how much
Do you really know
How much, how much
Well let me tell you
How much, how much
You are loved
How much do you really know?
