it is funny how one small simple thing can turn your mood upside down and yet the bigger things you can push aside or deal with. for example when an mp3 doesn't work or words that come out of peoples mouths. if you can't figure out a math problem. it makes us so angry.. so angry we want to hit something, throw it against a wall or say some things we will regret later.. a simple emotion like anger can destroy a life not only yours but someone Else's as well if we take it too far.
when kids are tired of getting tormented to the point they want to take there life away. that is too far. all because of another kids words or actions. when it could have been avoided. something so small can make a big impact. Anger affects our judgement, our thoughts and actions. we lose control of ourselves and become a whole new person. kinda of like the song "Monster" from skillet. we all have that side. it doesn't come out unless something or someone provokes it. whether it be something big or small.
it kept me thinking that if i couldn't control my temper or anger on the simple things, how can i control it if something big turns up? how will i react in a situation will i shrug it off, let it go, hold a grudge or pray and put it in the Lords hands....ect.
{even though i put it in the Lords hands we still have to do our part}
after we cool a bit we sit back, break apart the situation that just took place an realize what just happened, evaluate ourselves , seek forgiveness  and try to mend what we just tore apart.
others bottle everything up until they explode which is not the best approach, then it gets ugly. :/
we have to learn to keep ourselves in check. to teach ourselves a safe more productive way in channeling/controlling our anger. for example we could express our anger on a piece of paper, or just scream into a pillow. find a way to distract yourself. listen to music, pray, sit outside, talk to a friend, there are many ways..find one that suits you. for that matter make something up if you have to. best thing to do is walk away first.
Warning Anger Is Danger..
my challenge to you is to find a way that best fits you.
instead of blowing up. blow the wick out.

blow out whatever is lighting your wick. don't let them or it keep your fuse burning.

God's Grace is so amazing! Even if it is the smallest thing or the most important. It humbles me. i feel a peace like never before, no worry, no hurt, just a humble peace about everything. It lets me know I am sitting in the Potter's hands. :). I am under his protection; I know He is here everyday watching over me. He continuously helps me learn from my mistakes, my actions, my words. It is humbling to know that i don't have to keep it a secret that i am a Believer and i am not ashamed to say it. I have friends who love and obey Christ in his word whole heartily. They have a loving family behind them to support them and i know they support me. They believe in me. that i can set my goals high and actually be able to reach them. They do not judge me for who I am. I can be myself.
To see others believe in God and surrender their hearts to His will is unbelievable! it  is a great experience. i have yet to figure out my calling in this world and strengthen my walk with Him. I know I want to follow Him with all my heart. I know that is where my heart belongs, in the palm of His hand to stay. He will never let me go. We are the ones who let him go.
There will be rough time no doubt, bit stand strong in the Lord and never give up hope. I know with His help I can make it through. I've made it this far. :) all Praise belongs to God. Thank You Lord. for the small things and the big. everything i have and everything i don't. every prayer that has been answered and everyone that hasn't. our trials and many more. Most of all the Cross.
You have a plan, all in Your time.

it is ironic how people tell us to be sure and tell people you love them everyday, but when you do, it can lose its true meaning.  when you say it and not actually mean it or say it automatically without thinking. the meaning behind it changes. your not saying I love you because you love the person,even though you truely may. the majority of the time we are saying it becasue they said it to you and it is a natural reaction to say it back. by no means am i saying don't tell them you love them everyday, just make sure you mean it when you say it. don't let "I Love You" become  just those 3 simple words. 

this is not directed towards anyone.. if i offend you, i am sorry.
we all have a life outside of church, yes?... that can be a problem. we have to realize that that doesn't mean God can't be apart of it.
for some God starts and stops at the church's front door. we pray before we eat at church or during the service with the pastor and then it stops there. we don't pray before we eat at school or work or smile at every person you see (a smile makes all the difference), even me, most of the time because we Think we don't have time. we say and think things half the time that doesn't need to be said or done. outside it is a whole new game. you're in a different atmosphere with an enormous variety of people, beliefs, religions, rituals, ceremonies all of it, but God stays the same. we are all excited to go to church because we are free to pray and speak about Jesus openly. our goal is to be excited about going outside the church and sharing God's Love and His word, His peace and comfort. so that we can plant that seed and He will help it grow. even in your enemies. to be the same person inside and outside of church. we are to be the example, not be invisible. God works everywhere. we need to become  F.R.O.G- Fully Rely On God. on the other hand He is not a crutch. he is not there Just for you to lean on. you have to do your part to. its not as easy as ask and you shall receive. there is a condition. If you do your part God will do his. if you feel him tugging at your heart to go talk to this person, don't ignore it, he has a reason and you may help this girl/boy in a big way or maybe she is there to help you. God works in mysterious ways. and you will never know unless you take up your cross and walk. we are to become one person as a whole, a christian. to walk the walk and talk the talk. not walk the line in between. Praise goes to God, not yourself, that becomes pride. Thank you Lord because i would not be able to write this if it wasn't for him. this popped in my head for a reason. i needed to share it.
with this God Bless all :)

family

Here lately Dad has beem getting picture frames and and placks the have some  really great quotes and verses. a while back we said that this house didn't feel like home or didn't have that homie feel. we didn't have any pictures of all of us on the wall or anything else for that matter. so he printed out some pictures and put then in frames he bought, when i came home i saw the frame and in the middle is had family in big bold capital letters and he had a variety between us. some funny some good and they all show the love he have that i didn't see before. i looked at dad laughed with joy and said that's awesome! it made my day that much brighter. we have a plaque the reads "it's not wanting what you don't have but wanting what you have" it is a good saying because we all want what we don't have, but don't want we do have or there is really no point in having it. we also have one that says a bible verse" As for me in my house, we will serve the Lord" i am very very happy that he bought that, i was surprised. i know that the Lord is with us. He has plans, i knew that before but i didn't want to get my hopes up. which sounds bad because everything works in his way not mine. i need to change my mind set, because God will never let me down. He has shown me that He has never left me, that He hears my cries, my prayers, my heart. He has blessed me with so much! I am grateful! thank you Lord. our home feels like home. i feel like a family. i feel the love i didn't before. :) I'm not broken because of the Lord. thank you!

i have recently figured out that managing work and school is not very fun. because the time in between you have to do homework, clean and whatever before you go to work. lately i have been working from 5 to close. we close at 12am and do all the cleaning afterwards which puts me home about 130 or if we are dead bout 1245 or so. then i have to get up at 640 in the morning! not use to that! so I'm a little sleep deprived, but with the Lords help i have been able to stay awake without being grumpy haha! of course it helps to see friends in the morning when i can :). so most of my time in between if it is not cleaning or homework....its nap time! ha i remember nap time in kindergarten, didn't think id actually be taking naps in the middle of the day after that.  hehe. any who welding is going pretty good. math on the other hand is half online ( i so did not know that) So e got laptops and hopefully i can catch up but for now i have to go to work...so enjoy you day week. God Bless thank you for reading my rambling

I like this quote because it is true in many ways. a lot of people believe that if you can't see it, it's not real. some are afraid to take a step further because they do not no where it will lead them. I believe without seeing, but sometimes i am one of those people who hesitates to step forward because she can't quite see whats ahead. i let myself think of all the possible situations that could happen good and bad. I've learned to pray about it to the good Lord and take that step of faith. i can think of two situations were i have done that. the first was the first time we moved away; which turned out to help us a lot. we where able to get a job and sign up for college classes. the second time was moving back home after moving back out. crazy i know. so far everything has gone smooth, we have our rough spots here and there, but we work it out. plus our brother gets to go to Vacation Bible School :) and he loves it. we haven't been back for too long an things are already showing hope. a renewed hope. i thank God for working in our lives and letting all of our paths cross. your prayers have been highly appreciated and we couldn't have done it without you, thank you. :) by you i mean all of you.
