The fight is on!!!

Spring break is officially here. We like to ring in the vacation with a good knock down fight- and keep them coming all vacation. I try to be referee to these fights but that seems to last a few minutes. So I say "let the fight begin, and drive yourself to the ER"!! Should be a fun week.

YOU

“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.” I came across this quote and thought "well of coarse", but then I thought how hard it is to do things because you see the need and not- family, friends, society, ect... Just a little something to ponder.

Something more

I love Christian music and sometimes it touches your heart in a way words just can't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpcB4I_Q85g

Friendship

This song has been such a comfort for me- The Words I would Say Three in the morning, And I’m still awake, So I picked up a pen and a page, And I started writing, Just what I’d say, If we were face to face, I’d tell you just what you mean to me, I’d tell you these simple truths, Be strong in the Lord and, Never give up hope, You’re going to do great things, I already know, God’s got His hand on you so, Don’t live life in fear, Forgive and forget, But don’t forget why you’re here, Take your time and pray, These are the words I would say, Last time we spoke, You said you were hurting, And I felt your pain in my heart, I want to tell you, That I keep on praying, Love will find you where you are, I know cause I’ve already been there, So please hear these simple truths, Be strong in the Lord and, Never give up hope, You’re going to do great things, I already know, God’s got His hand on you so, Don’t live life in fear, Forgive and forget, But don’t forget why you’re here, Take your time and pray, These are the words I would say, From one simple life to another, I will say, Come find peace in the Father, Be strong in the Lord and, Never give up hope, You’re going to do great things, I already know, God’s got His hand on you so, Don’t live life in fear, Forgive and forget, But don’t forget why you’re here, Take your time and pray, Thank God for each day, His love will find a way, These are the words I would say To have someone in your life that is willing to speak truth-That is a true friend.

Pain in the darkness

"In the night I feel the cold of my loneliness Cold that embraces my heart Draining my strength to fight Only to breathe this suffering" God please get me through this night. Let me rest in your peace.

My battle with letting go

The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful worldas it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3, 5-6 God has a plan. No matter how many times I tell myself this I still question it. Letting go of My Plan (which I think would be less painful) and giving all control to God- sounds good, if it were not for my sinful nature. So my prayer for today is to let go, knowing God is in full control!!!
