Life has just sucked...But God has really blessed me:)
Like the moment i lose a few firends, be brings two amazing friends into my life:)
Maddy and Adrina...seriously God bless them, their so amazing:)
God really works things out...He provides..it's beautiful.
Last night i catered a wedding with Adrina, which was so much funnn:) Then slept over at her house with maddy, we had a blast...We're some crazy chicas together, i believe we stayed up tillike 3ish? Then we wake up and have to go to church...which was alright, church is amazing and i love worshiping my Lord and hearing about Him...but sometimes i feel like the youth group is overly judgemental..i hate it. :( Like we're a church, a community of Christ and yet everyone judges each other? like what is that? its just gross..but whatever. But i love the leaders, their so supportive:) and the friends i do have there...there the kind of friends that will last for a life time:D Then after church Maddy Adrina Ande and I all went out to red robin..which was a blast (had the most hilarious conversation ever)...actually it was kind of gross. haha But great time:) After that went back to adrinas and just slept on her bed for a few hours. Gotta love true friends.
Like i always say, Finding out who your true friends are can be one of the most rewarding and heartbreaking things at the same time.
But heartbreak is just apart of life..
God provides..thank you God. You have no idea how thankful i am for what you do for me. I don't deserve the things i have or the mercy you give me...i just am so thankful. THANK YOU:)
God is good :)
Updates on daddy...
he's still doing the same..please keep praying that whatever God wants to have done have it happen and whatever the outcome may He be glorified through it all. He starts radiation in april..pray that goes successfully if that be Gods will. :)
How is everyone?
Sorry I haven't written in awhile..i've been beyond stressed & busy. haha

God is present.
In all our losses there's always a gain.
Even though you're going through a hard time remember, through everything hard we go through we always gain or learn something.
Might that be we gain respect, understanding, patience, peace, love, pure joy, or just learn what the meaning of life is in general.
Even when we're going through hard things remember, God is ALWAYS there...even if you can't seem to feel him He's always present..through the good and the bad. And that in itself is something beautiful.
Even when we feel like we can't stand on our own anymore, we just can't fight this battle anymore...That's where God comes in, He's your shoulder to cry on, your feet to walk, His arms to hold you, His love to capture you...His presence to escape you from the hard, the hurt, the pain, the rejection...His love captures all, He carries you in His arms...FOREVER AND ALWAYS.
Even when you've let go, God doesn't. He's forever your comfort, your refuge, your strength. He surrounds you with his grace, His forgiveness, His kindness, and His LOVE.
God is present.
Through tough things, we always learn...we always expand our horizon, because through hard things we gain understand and responsibility..and even though hard things suck, they make us stronger and more sympathetic. And praise hard things we go through for hard things bring us to God.

amen:)
But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart.Consider what great things He has done for you.Yet if you persist in doing evil, you will be swept away.
1 Samuel 12:24,25♥
Streams in the Desert
Been reading out my devotional book recently, and found this stuff;
"We have all been in situations where it seemed as though we were defeated, and the enemy rejoiced. We can only imagine what a complete defeat this appeared to be for Daniel's friends. They were thrown into the terrible flames while their enemies watched to see them burn. Yet the enemy was greatly astonished to see them walking around in the fire, enjoying themselves. Then king Nebuchadnezzar told them to come out of the fire. The enemy "crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them...for no other god can save in this way" (Dan. 3:27.29)"
"May we learn that in all the difficult places God takes us, He is giving us opportunities to exercise our faith in Him that will bring about blessed results and greatly glorify His name."
"Unanswered prayers are simply the evidence that the answer is much closer."
Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:3)
"Sorrow is God's tool to plow the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests"
"Blessed is the night, for it reveals the stars to us. We can say, Blessed is sorrow for it reveals God's comfort."
"Your father is as close to you when you journey through the darkest tunnel as He is when you are under the open heaven."
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trust in the Lord (Psalms 112:7)
Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5)
For I know the plans i have for you,..plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)
