Game time. Hooyah!

Even though this isnt the day im leaving for basic training, its still a day I've been waiting for since I decided to pursue this job. Which was almost two years ago. June 2009. This is the try outs for the best team in the world. No big deal. Time to get loud time to represent! even though this is just a "practice" compared to a game, it feels more like try-outs. Yes, Im nervous, but this isnt a feeling Im new to. Just a little pre game jitters. So I sit and do what I always do. Pray. to calm me, and to give me the strength I need to succeed. To surpass expectations. Remember Colossians 3:23, this is all for God. Gloria A Dios. So even though this may not seem like a big deal. its not. Yep thats right, its not. Its just a game, Ive been in this situation a million times, and I live for these moments. So what time is it? Game Time Huh! (you can yell it if you want, I just did.)

One foot in front of the other

One foot infront of the other. Thats all I have to remember. Just keep moving, never quit, never give up. Just keep moving forward. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how much you want to crawl back in bed, Just keep moving forward. Remember Im never alone, even when I think I am, I have to know Im not. God has blessed me more than I could ever have hoped. He has given me an amazing family, and amazing friends who are always there to encourage me the minute I start to fall. Im not just talking about working out or running. Im talking about life. It doesnt stop when you need it to, it keeps going whether you like it or not. There is no pause button just because your tired. Fortunatly God is always there to carry you when your face down on the ground feeling like life just needs to stop. Thats when you pray, Thats when you cry out to God, and thats when he picks you up and says "Keep moving, One foot infront of the other, I am here for you, I LOVE YOU" I am his child. I belong to him. I find myself in him, I am beautiful because I am His creation. Nothing else matters more in this world than bringing Glory to God. Gloria a Dios. Thats what keeps me moving. Thats what keeps me going even when I want more than anything in the world, to stop. To bring glory to God in everything I do. and giving up is not glorifying God, because that means I did not try my hardest. It means that I have not only given up on myself, but I have given up on God. Colossians 3:23 Do everything as if working for the LORD not for men. Men isnt just other people, it is ourselves. We need to stop doing everything for the glory of men, and the glory of our selves, and start working for the Glory of God. GLORIA A DIOS.God is good, He is so good, he is strength when we have none, he is love when we feel alone, he is courage, our hope, our comforter. He is LOVE. God is great, so lets not just sing his praise. Lets shout his praise. And lets Keep moving forward. Because Our LORD is with us every step of the way. with all my love in Christ.

Ready, Set, LOVE

Im am more than ready to start this. God willing I pass, God willing I ever get to take my test. But heres an update to all 2 of my readers. Ive been busy latley. My sister M came home this weekend and we went "shopping" n stuff. I love her and she will always be my best friend, the person I can count on, my sister. I tell her everything that goes on in my life. shes so beautiful and such a sweetheart. Dont get me wrong I love my other sister B just as much , I dont get to see her as often and we may not get along as well, but I still love her, and I still go to her for advice. It would be nice though if she could stop seeing me as the child she tried to raise and as her adult sister. But regardless I still love her and she is still a beautiful person inside and out. I am so blessed to have the sisters I do. I recently got a job at Pine Summit Christian Camp in Big Bear. I start that in May, and although I like my job at Big 5, I am excited to spend the summer somewhere as beautiful as Big Bear. I have been so blessed lately and I am so thankful for every thing God has given me. For a while that was an afterthought in my life. God. I started to not care about him, and I was becoming annoyed with people telling me to trust God, and pray etc. I hated it. I got annoyed when I read bible verses on Facebook. and I am so sorry. I want to love God and Love others. I want to LOVE. when people look at me I want them to see the LOVE of God shining through. i love LOVE. i want to LOVE. its all that matters in life, to love God and to love others. I am trying. I may fail at times, but God never leaves me, and in those few months when i started to leave him, he was always pulling slightly back at me. I went and saw the movie Soul Surfer and that really jolted me back. I realised that God is so loving and important. That he will never leave, and that he never has. He is always right there to catch you as your falling. I am SO thankful that God never gave up on me. and Im working on pride, and worry. So ill leave you with this. Im sure you have heard it a million times, but it really hit home with me the other day. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE.. So LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS. until next time.
