Be You

In school, you always here "She said she didn't like me ," or "He said I was a loser. All this stuff is irrelevelent. It's not important what everyone thinks about or says about. People are going to talk about you until the day you die.When you start to let what people say get to you, you start to change your character and you begin to try and please everyone that says something negative about you. Reality is you cant please everyone, you'll spend the rest of your life doing it because not everyone will like you.

You just have to find good friends to hang around that will like you for you. The people that don't like you, you have to learn how to brush them off, because they don't control you or your life.......you do.

Discipline

~ School has now started and it is time to start studying again :(. My encouragement to you today is to challenge yourself to be disciplined because without it, you can't be successful in life

~ Proverbs 13:18 - He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.

~ Even though becoming disciplined is very hard, it is possible. You'll know when you're disciplined because there will come a time when you are going to have to do something that you won't feel like doing at the time. Instead of sitting there saying that you aren't going to do it, you'll make up in your mind that no matter how you feel, you're going to do it anyway because you know it will benefit you. God honors people who make that choice and he will bless you greatly.

Darlene Mccoy I shall live and not die

I think that this song has many encouraging messages in this song. These are just a few that I got and I want you guys to comment and tell me what you got out of it.

1.) Whatever your going through, God is still there to help you through it.

2.) Even though you go through trials and face hard problems, you still have to be positive, and praise God through it all.

3.) Our walk with God is like a race. When God gives us test, no matter how hard it is, we have to keep going and not quit. When we quit, we die spiritually, but when we perservere, we live.

The Right Thing

Tanya Tested

Tanya and Alexis have been friends since kindergarten and now they're in tenth grade. But ever since she started dating her boyfriend Jordan, she's been acting really weird and Tanya is determined to figure out what is going on. So she called Alexis on Saturday morning and see if she wanted to hang out.

Tanya : Hey Alexis. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall later?
Alexis : Um... I'm not feeling good right now, maybe we can hang out another time.

Tanya hears yelling in the background.

Tanya : Wait Alexis! Who is ...
Alexis : Look Tanya I have to go, I'll see you later.

Something seemed strange about Alexis's voice and Tanya didn't know if she should talk to someone about it or not. Since Tanya isn't the type of person who can keep secrets, she decided to tell her friend Greg that Monday.
Tanya found Greg at her locker and was eager to tell him what she knew.

Tell Someone, Tell God

Alot of times when people go through things, they like to keep that pain inside them. They don't want to tell anyone because they may feel that they'll be judged or looked down upon.

I can encourage you because I've had the exact same problems. I know how it feels to keep all the hurt, feelings, and emotions inside until you can't hold it in any longer. Thankfully God kept me from doing anything stupid, but some people do. They might take it out on other people or, they might take it out on themselves.

Solution : The best solution is to tell God. He is the one true person that you know will not judge you or ridicule you. Some people may think it's silly but when you try it, you will feel so relieved. Its almost as if you've been carrying this heavy bag on your back for a very long time and God just lifts it off of you and you can breathe now.



The Return

Hey guys !

Just got back from baby sitting for two weeks it was hard but God gave me patience. I know its been a while since I've posted, I really didn't have any time to write anything. It was 7 kids and their ages ranged from 1 to 8. Very challenging but possible.

So my encouragenment to you today is that anything is possible nothing is too hard. Also when you work hard you play hard. I worked very hard and I earned every penny I made ( as I was told :) ). So stay positive whatever challenge or assignment you have to complete and you will get through.

Our Life Has A Purpose

God put us on this earth for a specific purpose. That purpose is to live a life according to what God wants us to do. He has a great plan for all of our lives and none of us can live that plan if we're doing what we want to do.

Guys, you can't do whatever you want to do and expect your life to be like a stroll in the park because it doesn't work like that. If your parents give you advice on what not to do and you go do those things anyway your going to get in trouble no matter what, and that's exactly what God does. He leads us on the right path and then we start doing other things that he didn't tell us to do and we find ourselves in awful situations.

Comparison ~ When dealing with our lives its like using a television remote to work a computer. It won't work because that is not its purpose. It was designed to work a tv and we're waisting our time trying to use it for a computer.

So everyone, I encourage you to live to your best ability according to God. It won't be easy because we all make mistakes but we have to get back up and keep trying.
