Where to turn

Here I am sitting, exhausted, stressed with school barely starting last week, I am a loss for words. I have been so stressed out I'm actually making myself sick. I have felt as if the world is on my shoulders. Going to school, work, trying to still have a social life, and have things at home be good. The thing about that is not all of that is going to work all at the same time and I have a really hard time accepting that. One of my biggest issues are things going wrong or least seeming like they are. I like to control things, I like things going my way but that ever rarely happens. I know why though, I'm not made to control things! I'm not made to take every ones cares on myself! I'm not suppose to be superwoman, no matter how much I want to be! That is God's job! He doesn't want us trying to take that over. We were not made to do that. I have struggled with it forever now it feels like. You know though..I have come to realize this. All through our journey on this earth you will learn more about yourself, go through bad and good times, meet new people, lose people, experience everything that life has to offer. My journey with God is taking me places I had no idea I would go. I guess I shouldn't call them places, more like experiences. Because you have God in your heart doesn't mean you automatically are perfect and do no wrong. Yes, we are less likely to do things wrong because if we have Jesus in our heart we are more likely to live like Him. BUT, we are humans and we are sinners There is only one perfect person and that is Jesus. One of my imperfections in my relationship with God is I have found myself not trusting and relying on God as much lately like I should. And get this, this probably won't be the last time. Though I will grow to not do it as bad I guess you can say. Life is a learning experience,  you will never experience the same situation more than once, at least not exactly. Different things are handled differently. Stress and relying on other people are two of my struggles and I have known that my whole life I take after my mother, but I shouldn't stress. God does not want people to live their lives here on this earth worrying and being stressed. That is not what He intended us to do on this earth. That is his job, to take whatever is bothering you and to take care of it. We were put on this earth to share the love of Jesus Christ. Can you do that being bummed out, worrying, stressed, and sad? Of course not! That's why you're not supposed to deal with that stuff. There are things that come in life that will get us down, change our lives, and make us worry though the good news is,  don't do any of that. Accept it, pray, hand it over to God, and live. Count on God to take care of it, but in HIS time, not yours. Trust God and believe that He wants whats best for you, He wants you to rely and depend on him. He is the perfect father and friend. Even though I have a hard time with it, I'm going to work on trusting God with EVERYTHING in my life: family, boyfriend, church, school, friends, every part of my life so I don't have to go through my senior year of high school being a wreck. My favorite verse that I saw when reading that went to this is, God's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during the bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you're never sorry you knocked. ♥ Psalm 9:9-10, Message Bible. 

Thank you for reading another one of my blogs. I hope you have a wonderful day, Love you!(:

Dear Heavenly Father, I know that sometimes I fall away from you and try to handle my earthly problems on my own but I know in my heart that I don't have to, that you will personally take all my problems off my shoulders and put them on yours if I just simply ask you to. Why? because You love me, not just me all your children. Let them know that you want to do the same for all of your children because You love them and you just want them to be happy and to know your mercy and peace. Thank you Jesus for everyday you have blessed us with. Amen♥

Strong Enough♥

When life gets you down and as if the whole world is on your shoulders, turn to God. Like they say "Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray!" This will be a shorter blog but I have been struggling with a lot lately and there is one person I can turn to, God.♥ There is a song that helps me, then one song I always listen to is called Strong Enough by Matthew West. I really recommend listening to it. Just always remember God does not want you to go through things yourself He wants to take every step with you. & always remember God will never give you anything that you can't handle. God believes in you and knows that you are strong but when you feel like you can't do it anymore, give it all to God. You were not put on this earth to go through things yourself! When I have challenges I turn to God and I fall in love with Him even more. He is ALWAYS there. He has never left your side you just have to realize that He is there and He is not going anywhere! He never puts you through things to hurt you but to make you realize He is there for you no matter what and He believes in you and knows you are strong enough for whatever is thrown at you. Keep your head up high and always remember you're never alone!

What does the future hold?

Future. What does that word mean to you? Does the future to you mean just tomorrow, the next week, or maybe when you're in college, or 30? How does it make you feel? Does it make you want to rush through your life to get to it or does it make you want to go and hide? I believe the future can be years from now or could even just be the next day, may I add is never promised. The future is not the past and not right now. I believe that we just try to rush through life to get to a certain point in our life to where we don't even appreciate the time that we are given or we will just wait till tomorrow, next week, or next month to do something. Why not now? A big thing I have a problem with is procrastination with all areas of my life honestly whether it comes to chores, reading the Bible, homework, ect. But you know I had a friend lose his life a couple months ago and honestly you don't know if you will have tomorrow, next week, or the next 2 years. There are two messages I'm going to try to get out, don't waste your precious life that you have been given and trust God and have Him work through you and have His will be done of your life. This life that you are living right this minute you have to make smart decisions with it. Yes life can get hard to where you don't want to try anymore but there is an answer to that: God. God is your heavenly father who just wants the best for you He knows exactly what is best for you and what will make you the most happy. How do we know He knows that? Cause He made you!! You are God's creation. He knows how many hairs are on your head, He knows absolutely everything about you. I find myself struggling to know who I am and what I want but I know I have someone to turn to and trust because when I'm clueless, He has the answers♥ Yes, sometimes you will have to wait for answers sometimes God will wait to give them but He will give them to you and at exactly the right time. You know sometimes I think to myself well I have my dreams but what if that is not what God wants me to do? Well then what He wants me to do will be better and give me satisfaction maybe that I thought I would never find in that. God works in mysterious ways you have to remember that, but trust Him. Fully believe that He knows whats best for you cause He knows more about you then you do yourself. He knows hidden things about you that you never knew and He is just waiting for the right time to show you. So instead of feeling like you have to figure everything out, don't, go to God and talk to Him about it. He will show you. Take opportunities that are thrown your way maybe you will find something that God is trying to show you. At times I feel like God tries to get to do things, like I will just get this random voice in my head to wave at someone, say hi ask them how they are doing, help them take their groceries to their car, maybe pitch in some money when there isn't enough, just nice kind things for people to show people Gods love and sometimes I don't because i don't want to be weird. I mean seriously walk up to some random person and start talking, I think I would be kinda like what the heck? but guess what I would never forget that that person did that. I would think back and be like wow that person might  actually care about people. And that is what God is trying to do with his people, to love and care for each other. Show people the love of God♥ I definitely need to work on when God tells me to go do it, I do it instead of saying What If or oh I will do it next time, maybe next time I'm here I will do it. No! Go do it, you might make someones day. And you never know whether you will have the next time or maybe even then. I know I get off topic sometimes but I feel passionate about everything I write one these blogs because this is how God helps me reach people. Maybe sometime God will show me another way I can reach people. What I'm trying to say here is don't wait to do something if you really feel like you need to or want to. Do it. Why not? Well unless it's wrong of course. Live out the will that God has for you. No, we don't know exactly what that is, but the personal relationship we have will God will show us the way. No, we are not going to live perfect lives, not everyday everything this going to be great, but when something goes wrong. Tell God how you feel, how to move on from it, and what to do next. You might not get a direct answer right then and there but you will receive the answer at the right time. God is never late. Until then, live the way God wants you to. Love people, truly care. Read the Bible, to help learn more. Talk and pray to God. If God pulls you towards something do it, don't ask what if or say the next time. No, do it. Tomorrow is not promised.

Thanks for reading another one of my blogs!(: Every time you read one try to let God speak to you and show what He wants you to get out of it. Do that with everything. God wants whats best for you and He wants to be there for everything. He doesn't want to push himself on you, He wants you to come to Him and then can you feel the grace of God. There is a quote that I would like to share a quote that led me to writing this blog. "A man who walks with God, always reaches his destination." It's true, that's my whole blog made into one sentence. Go today and do something new, listen to God if you wants you to do something you never know, that one person you and go to could have a major impact on your life. Who knows, only God♥

Jesus vs False Religion

There is a video that has been circulating around and I would like to say my thoughts on it. I recommend watching it first, if you have not seen it yet, and if you have you could even watch it again. It's called Why I hate religion but love Jesus and the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY.

I want to start out by saying he is talking about fake religion, when people are saying they are a christian but not really showing it, or they do show it but on the inside it's not true. For example as he says if people only know your Christian only by your facebook. I'm not big on religion either to be honest. Yes, I do consider myself a Christian but I believe that my relationship is more important than saying yeah I'm a Christian. Because you can go to church every Sunday but if you don't have that personal relationship with God, what's the point. The thing I find about religion is there is certain things you have to do. Like he said a long list of chores and bondage. Every time I find myself calling myself religious, I beat myself up because I'm like I'm not doing what their doing, I'm not doing it right, I'm not doing enough. But when it comes to my relationship with God it's not like that. Yes you do need to read the bible and pray. That's so their can can be communication and you can learn God's will. God can talk back to you through the Bible cause those are His words given to you. With relationship, their has to be communication. You can pray and talk to him, you read the bible and He talks to you back. The thing I love about talking to God is I don't have to be embarrassed about anything, even sin yes I kind of am but I can ask for forgivness and He will forgive me. I can talk tot God about ANYTHING and He is always there to listen! God is not their to judge you He is there to be there for you and heal your broken heart. No you are not going to be perfect in everything: going to church every Sunday, reading the Bible everyday, and praying. But God doesn't expect you to be perfect he just expects to try. With any relationship there has to be effort on both sides to make it work, Jesus holds up His end of the deal, which means you need to too. But truth is your going to mess up and sin, it's human nature and Jesus understands that. As he said on the cross "Father forgive them, they know not what they do." Back to religion vs Jesus, he says religion is like spraying perfume on a coffin and not going to the core, I believe it, it's the personal relationship that you have with God that goes to the core, not saying your Christian. When you have that personal realrelationship with God, it starts taking over the in side then starts to show on the out side. And it's not a mask, it's God shining through you. The thing about today I find in church's, not all, but some is they think they are better than everyone one, you are never supposed to compare yourself to anyone or judge anyone else, that's wrong you are no better than anyone else. Like when he said just because you call somebody else blind does not automatically give you vision. A lot of people say they are Christian and then judge the young single mother or even just someone with tattoos and say they are not good enough. That's not Jesus working through them, Jesus loves and accepts EVERYONE! I believe religion is just man made and a fail and what God is trying to do with His people of this world. He is not wanting people to act like they have it all together.The thing about religion is it's like you have to act like everything is okay when it's not. You shouldn't have to do that, the relationship with God is what heals the broken. God's salvation is what gets you to heaven not putting on a mask and saying your Christian. God doesn't want you to have it all together, He want's to help you and make the hurt go away. It's the truth that you are hurt and broken that makes your relationship with God stronger. Religion is living a double life, having a relatioship is confessing your sins and trying to move on from them with God's help. I love when he says he boast in his weakness because that is the truth with God, and also when he says "The church isn't a museam for good people but a hospital for the broken" which is so true. You should be able to go to church and confess that you are broken and be healed not go to church and act like everything is perfect. You're church family should all come together and confess you are having a hard time, not be like yup I'm a Christian it's all good, when it's really not. Don't put on that fake mask and smile. We are all broken and hurting people that just need the grace of Jesus.♥ You don't need to hide your failiure or sin, you need to be truthful and have Gods grace and salvation work through you. God welcomes you and wants you no matter what you have done and will do because He loves you unconditionally! God does not force you to come to Him, He waits for you and He will wait forever for you if He has to because he loves you and just wants to be there for you and walk with you through everything you go through in life. In the Bible it was the religious people that turned Jesus and judged him and said He was not who He was. It's the people with the personal relationship with God that I believe truly knew it was Jesus. A lot of people that go to church these days that I see soak themselves in self righteousness just because they did something good. God is good, God is love, and when you do good things and love people that's not you doing it, it's God using you to do it, it's God shining through you. You don't deserve the applaud, Jesus does. I honestly believe that religion and a relationship with God are two different things. As he says "Religion is man searching for God and Jesus is God searching for man." All God wants to do is have you come to Him, to have a personal relationship with him that goes straight to the core, to help you when you are hurt, celebrate when your happy, and shine is love through you that He has for His sons and daughters. I get off track sometimes but I know that God will always be there to pick me up and straighten me back on track. God is amazing and I wish that everyone could feel the unconditional love He has for everyone and know the feeling of always having someone there you can talk to and listen to you. Those are my thoughts on the video and you may feel different but I find this video amazing and I could watch it over and over again. Watch it a few more times if needed and really see what God is trying to tell you.(: Always remember you're amazing and so loved!

I pray that you just really speak to them and make them realize what you are trying to tell them what you are trying to say.

I want to thank you for everyday you give me.I know sometimes I fall off track but you are always there to pick me back up. You are oh so amazing! I love you so much. Thank you for everything the hurt to learn from and the happiness to  be thankful for and keep me going.  In Jesus name Amen♥

Repentance

I went to church this morning and this is what Pastor Hackbarth sermon was about. It was a really good sermon and I would like to pass it on. The title of this is repentance, people believe they know what this means but repentance means a promise or resolve not to repeat the offense; an attempt to make restitution for the wrong, or in some way to reverse the harmful effects of the wrong where possible. When we do wrong doings, and we know it's wrong, we feel dirty, as we have failed, and we just want to push it away and act like it never happened. The biggest thing that we feel we fail with is temptation. Being tempted is nothing to be ashamed of it is what we do after we are tempted that may be. We are always going to be tempted to do things that are wrong, but it's the decision to fall into the temptation or to turn the other way. If you decide to fall into the temptation than that is sin, not being tempted. It is hard to turn away from what we are tempted by because we are tempted by things we desire. The things we are tempted with fit so perfectly to us, that is why we fall into temptation. Like my pastor said, "It is like we are setting up our own trap, putting the bait in that we like, then falling right into our own trap." When we fall into temptation we give excuses and make it look like it's not our fault. My pastor used an example from Genesis when Adam and Eve ate from the tree. God came into the garden and asked them where they are. Adam told him they were hiding because they were naked. God then asked who told them they were naked, He also asked them if they ate from the tree. Automatically Adam put the blame on his wife, Eve. Adam tells God, "The woman you gave me, she gave me the fruit from the tree, and then I ate it." Did you also notice that not only did Adam pass the blame onto his wife, he also passed the blame onto God, by saying " the wife YOU gave me." Then God asked Eve "What have you done?" She then tells him that Satan deceived her and she ate the fruit. Eve also passed the blame on someone else, it wasn't her husband or God, it was Satan. We always tell ourselves that it is not our fault because Satan tempted us so it is his fault. No it's not, yes, Satan gives us the opportunity, influence, and a push, but it is OUR decision what we do with the temptation, what we do is our responsibility. Not God's, our friends, parents, or Satan's, it's ours! We all pass the blame on to other people because we don't want to admit to what we have done, it's much easier to just pass the blame. God was not asking Adam and Eve where they were because He wanted to know. God already knew where they are, God was asking so THEY realized where they were. We need to stop blaming others for what we do. If we do it, we need to take responsibility for it. We have control over ourselves. Also we try to compromise. The only thing that will save us from our sinning and guilt is repentance. If we ask God for forgiveness and try to make things right, then things will become right. Yes, like I have said before we are going to mess up. We struggle but that is what we have God for, not just struggling, but He is always there. He is going to go through the struggle with you, and He will help you. He love you so much and He wants to help you. I'm going to close this by saying, we trip up, we mess up, we fall into temptation because it is so easy, but we need to take responsibility for what we do and repent!. It is no one else fault for what we do, we can turn things around, God will help you out after falling in. God is amazing and He loves you unconditionally.

Some verses from the Bible(: (remember, these are from the message bible)

Don't let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, "God is going to trip me up." God is impervious to evil and puts evil in no one's way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and us only. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin gros up to adulthood, and becomes the real killer. James 1-13-15

So let god work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and He'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master, it's the only way you'll get on your feet. James 4:7-10

Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not he only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ-eternal and glorious plans they are!- will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word, yes, He does. 1 Peter 5:8-11

No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down, He'll never let you be pushed past your limit, He'll always be there to help you come through it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Dear Jesus, Please help with the temptations that we face everyday. We know that we are always going to face temptations, especially the ones that fit so perfectly to us, but help us turn from the temptations that we face. Help us to not fall in. Let us know that even if you do fall, you will pull us out of it and help us go the other way. Thank your for each day you give us, we know that ever day counts, and tomorrow is not promised. Love you Jesus. In Jesus name, Amen♥

Love ya guys(:

Bow Before Him

It has been about a month since I completely gave my life to Jesus. My life was changed at a camp that I have attended twice now. As I have said in my other blog, I went to came 3 years ago, I accepted Jesus into my heart but then I moved so my flame burned out. This year at camp though, it was different, it was so much more life changing. I almost decided not to go to camp this year but one of my closest friends talked me into it and I can't thank her enough. Before I arrived at the camp, I asked Jesus to do something for me that would be life changing because I was barely hanging on, if hanging on at all to Him. He definitely answered my prayer. The first night of camp the speaker talked about what was stopping us from giving our lives to Jesus all the but this and but that, that came with it. That really had the most impact on me because I was putting someone in my life before God and I finally realized that, that night. I went up and had someone pray for me. The second night he talked about identity crises; how we convince ourselves that we are what we have done, failures, what other people say that we are, and by our insecurities. This one did not speak to me that much, but it was an amazing sermon and I could see that it spoke to a lot of the kids at that camp because they were struggling with that. So I am very thankful for that sermon. The third night he talked about being branded by Jesus. This was my other favorite sermon. It talked about when we are branded by Jesus that, He is the main part of our lives, and how we need to keep that fire for Jesus alive inside of us. This was the night that I gave my life to Jesus Christ because I felt that I was branded a long time ago but I kept falling away from Him and I did not want to do that anymore. I went to the front and I started worshiping to God and you can tell that so many lives were being changed as you looked around. I got angry, yes angry, because all the people looked so happy and free. I could not realize why I never felt anything like that before when I gave my life to Jesus.You know how so many people say that when they do it they just feel so free and something changed in them, well I never go that before. I wanted to feel that change, I started to pray to God and I prayed that He would make me feel that change. I was mad at God, I kept asking Him what I was doing wrong. He then put a picture in my head, it was two hands about to grab hold of each other but they were not quite there. I knew in my heart that, that was the hand of God and the other was mine. I felt so close but like I just could not quite get there. I knew something was holding my back . I knew God was telling my to go to the front to the alter and bow before Him and pray. Well there were tons of other people there and I acted like I didn't hear Him because I didn't want people to look at me. How lame is that, who cares what anyone thinks. Let me tell you right now, when God asks you to do something for him, do it, it shows Him how much you love Him, and that you don't care what anyone else things. Anyways, so I pretty much told God no. This pathway between people started forming in front of my to the alter, I thought to myself you have got to be kidding me. Then one of the girls taking pictures sat in the spot were I was to go. I thought she would be there awhile, well I hoped, so I told God, if and when that girl moves I will go to the alter. Right then and there she moved. I decided that I should really go to the alter and I did. I started to pray to God how hurt I was, that I was so close to Him but I was not quite there. This girl came and prayed with me and then she says" Sierra, God loves you so much and He knows that you are hurting, He understands" She said some others things but this is what stuck out to me the most. He did hear my cry and He was there listening. Another thing that blew my mind is when she got up to go pray with someone else, I never seen her before, and she knew my name... I went back to praying then our preacher came and sat by me and put his hand on my back and started praying. I thought i was the preacher so I opened my eyes to see and what I saw was feet with olden day sandles. I was so shocked I couldn't believe what I was seeing, then I thought to myself then it must not be the speaker, he was wearing tennis shoes. I went back to praying again. I felt a hand on my head. As the speaker got up to leave I looked at him walk away and sure enough he was wearing tennis shoes. I started to cry because right then and there I realized that I was actually bowing before the feet of Jesus and He could hear me hurting. I know that He showed me that He was there with me. I literally saw the feet of Jesus and He put His hand on me and prayed. I prayed and thanked Him so much for the life changing event that I prayed for. After I prayed for a little longer, I got up and I felt a weight lift off my chest. Then I saw that picture in my head but the hands were now holding each others and I knew that I finally have God in my life and I was never going to let go. I started to worship my God.

Whatever is holding you back from God, remove it, because God is wanting to come into your life. He wants to be apart of everything and not just somethings. It will be hard but it will be so worth it. God is amazing and I hope that this will help you in someway. My life has changed so much and I know it is for the better. All you have to do is really accept Christ into your life and then He will come in. You just have to make that decision that you are wanting that. You are the only one that can make that decision no one else. God keeps pulling at you, just do it(: No matter how many times I told God that I didn't want to go to the alter, I didn't want to give Him every part of my life, He just kept on pulling at me and He never gave up on me. He will never give up on you either. I'm going to pray and then let you go.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray to you that you let my story work in who reads this, Lord. That you would help them see that you are the answer to all their problems. Let them know that You want to be part of their lives so bad and that You love them so much. I thank you so much for giving me my life changing event that I asked for. Now, I pray and ask you to give them their life changing event. Keep pulling at them Lord. Love you. In Jesus name, Amen♥

Love you and I encourage you, if you can find a church camp that you can go to, go, it will be so worth your time(:

Struggling is okay.

Hey. Sorry it has taken me so long to write another blog. In my first blog I said that I would be truthful, well I have been struggling a little bit the past couple weeks. God has given me a test and I failed. Being a christian is hard, it is, but it is so worth it!! You have to give God time and I have not been doing that lately. I have been reading my bible some but I have not found myself praying lately. I constantly think about how I failed God recently but I think that is because I have not asked for forgiveness. I'm so embarrassed to even talk to Him. But not only do I feel that I disappointed God, I feel that I have disappointed some of my closest friends. God knows that I failed His test, but Jesus will forgive me if I ask for forgiveness so what better time to ask for forgiveness, than now? So here it goes. And maybe you need to ask for forgiveness for somethings you have done. Jesus will forgive you if you ask forgiveness He loves you, never forget that.

Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I have failed you recently. You asked me to do something, I did it half way and then backed out. I'm embarrassed to even pray to You right now. You sent Your son to die on the cross for me and everyone else and I can't simply obey You. It's not fair to You. I'm truly sorry and I am coming now, Jesus, to ask for your forgiveness, to let me know I am forgiven, to help me move on, and live for You, Jesus. Thank you for dieing on the cross for our sins. Love you. In Jesus name, Amen.

Even as Christians we struggle. So many people judge us and make it seem like we have everything together and that our life is perfect. Well wrong, we have a life just like everyone else, we have hard times, we struggle not everything is perfect. But what is different from us and everyone else is we have Jesus to be there with us and help us through it. Jesus will never leave your side. When you need help ask for it, when you need wisdom, ask for it. It is as simple as that, He will be there to the very end, but the thing is when we have Jesus in our lives there is no end, with Him we have eternity. It is so easy to ask God to come into your heart, He is longing to be with you, He is just waiting for you to give Him the okay. Yes, you will sin, we are sinners, but we need to try our hardest not to. and when we do we ask for forgiveness, we receive it, and then life goes on. Jesus keeps no record of wrong. When He forgives, He forgets! He knows it is hard that is why He was sent here so when things get ruff He can be here with us through it. Though, do not sin because you know you will be forgiven. God knows when you are doing that and really what you are doing is playing God, and that is not a true relationship. Yes, you will mess up sometimes but it's okay. I know I was to talk about why I gave my life to Jesus in this blog but I just feel that this is so important. God is not asking you to be perfect, He's simply asking you to surrender and to admit you need His help. God loves you and he just wants to be part of your life. Don't we own him that much, He created us and He loves us more than anyone else could ever try. His love is unconditional, what more could we ask for. In my next blog I do plan on talking about why I gave Jesus my life and what happened after. It's a testimony that I know God would like me to share with people. The main things I want you to get from this is, we all struggle, but with God we are not doing it alone. He takes every step with us. God will not bring you to something you can not get through. When you sin ask for forgiveness and try not to do it again.Well I love you and so does Jesus(:

One more prayer before I let you go.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for each day you give us on this earth to be with our families and friends and to spread to word to the hurting. Let the hurting know you are there for them. If there is someone struggling because they feel that they messed up big and they are not good enough for you, let them know that You love them so much and You forgive them for anything they have done in the past. Touch the hearts of the people Lord. I pray to You in Jesus name, Amen.♥
