Faith!

It's been a while since I have gotten on here and actually posted something about my life. A lot has happened.

I am not afraid to admit it, there for a while I wasn't as close to God as I should be. I sort of put up a wall, I kept getting hurt and couldn't understand what was going on. I felt like God was putting to much on my plate that I couldn't handle, but in the end, I realized the only way for me to get through it was to find my faith in God. I'm what you call the 'Church Girl,' I'm at some form of church or youth at least four times a week. From my Confirmation Class, to Young Life. It keeps me pretty busy. I love it though, I wouldn't change it for the world. It brought me closer to God, and I realized the reason he gives us so much to handle was because it's a test of faith. Life on earth is all a test of how much faith we have in Our Heavenly Father.



I'm Blessed with a great family.



We are all to busy to stop and smell the roses. We don't realize what God has done for us, we look at what he hasn't. And the truth is, that he has blessed us more than we can imagine.So what if he hasn't given us the nice car, or the money, or the things we want. But what about Family? Or Friends? Or a free country? This is all a blessing from God. God blesses us in ways you wouldn't believe. I am thankful for what he has given me, even when I don't show it.

He Isn't a Quck Fix

Quick Fix? That's the term some people use to describe Jesus. That's the term people are using to describe our Savior. I heard this at Youth last night, and as Jim was talking to us and telling us about this phrase, it most definitely hit me.

Jesus wasn't a "Quick Fix." He isn't just some random guy we go to for advice in our life or for a miracle or two. He was a man so full of knowledge, and glory, that all people could do was praise him and thank him.  He cured men who were blind, cured those who were dead, and gave people strength to do work. These weren't just "Quick Fixes" that lasted a couple of hours, they lasted for the rest of their lives. 

I choose to live my life through Jesus Christ. He isn't my quick fix, he is the Son of God, and made it possible for me to die and go to Heaven.
