I LOVE this! It is so true!

I Believe...

That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.

I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love..

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant

that will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time

to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones

with loving words.. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do,

no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect

to kick you when you're down,

will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do

with what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them

and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.

sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...
That our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,

but, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager

to find out a secret.

It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...
Two people can look at

the exact same thing

and see something totally different.

I Believe...
That your life can be changed

in a matter of seconds

by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...
That even when you think

you have no more to give,

when a friend cries out to you -

you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most

in life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...

The happiest of people

don't necessarily have the best of everything;

they just make the most of everything.

"As I grow to understand life less and less,I learn to love it more and more." - Jules Renard

The past couple of months this quote describes how I feel completely. This growing up thing is not too fun or easy but I love the new experiences it brings. It's so hard not knowing what I'm supposed to do in life, however I do know that God has a plan and all I have to do is trust Him. I am so thankful for His unfailing love and can't imagine how some people live without Him.

I have been home alone for the past week and absolutely hate it! I have gotten to watch a ton of movies but I hate coming into a quiet, vacant house. I hate attempting to go to sleep at night even more, but I have been doing much better with it than normal.

I'm off to bed now in hopes of getting some sleep! Tomorrow Matt and Amanda find out if they are having a boy or a girl and I'm going! I cannot wait!

Please Pray

This week "The Choice" is going on at the church. Each year around 2,000 walk through and our church has a chance to share Christ with these people. I pray that it will help people to see the truth and how much God really does care. For more information you can go here http://www.amitechurch.org/content/view/214/41/. Please pray for everyone that will attend this year that if they don't know Christ than they will find Him.

A New Chapter

I'm going to try and keep up with this blog more than I have with my others in the past. I'm not too sure how well it's going to go, but we'll see!
