The best things in life come free.

Matthew 6:34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

How can God be in the centre of a relationship?

that’s a pretty good question. If our goal in life to glorify Christ, to love Him with all our heart, mind, soul, strength and to love our neighbour as ourself, then how can we make Him the center or our relationships.

Let’s start here: Christ is everything. If your faith is in Christ, and You believe He is Lord of all and that the universe revolves around the glorified Lamb who is all sufficient, all powerful, the personification of love and mercy, then you would agree that He is everything. That if you or I died right this second, it wouldn’t matter because we would be found in Christ and we would be with Him. And if we gained everything possible in this world, all the education, all the money, all the fame, all the ‘love’ and affirmation by other humans, that Christ would still be better than all of that.

When you begin with Christ’s everythingness, you can begin to see how to revolve your life and your relationships around Him. That when He is not just first, but everything, then you can function, then you can have fuller joy. “Christ is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him.” - John Piper

A Christ Centered relationship involves devos - individually, then sharing what you learn with each other. It involves prayer alone and together for all things, it involves affirmation, encouragement, affection in a brotherly-sisterly-bestfriend kind of way. It involves two lives, two souls who know who Christ is what Christ has done, then live in such a way that glorifies Him - in what you say, how you act. It is recognising that both of you are sinful and in need of a Saviour - Jesus. This will allow you to have more grace, more forgiveness and more love.

Love isn’t just a feeling. It’s an art. And like any art, it takes not only inspiration but also a lot of work.

Saw these two pennies at work today and they made me think. They’re both from the same year, but look totally different. They both started the same but it is easy to tell that the one on the left has been through a lot more. It’s diminished, dented, scratched. Even so, both pennies are worth the same. In my mind, these penny can represent people. Everyone starts out the same, as babies, but we all go through our own paths and end up looking differently, but we’re all worth the same.

Everything happens when it needs to happen; everyone is always where they need to be. You will never miss out on what is meant for you, even if it has to come to you in a roundabout way.

Who Are You?

“Who Are You?” Not everything in our lives, Will be handed to us on plates. I can tell you once we’re alive, We have such undecided fates. There are those who like to strive, And always question themselves, Like the bees that buzz in hives, Honey doesn’t make itself. Some of us are leaders. We grab the bull by the rope. If you fall into this category, You will never lose your hope. But some hide and cower, Running away from their fears. This prolongs the inevitable, When they finally break down after years. Others are just so lazy. They don’t even want to try. They reside in rooms so hazy. They stare with bloodshot eyes. There are those who keep on trying, Even though they never win. After some time spent crying, They get back out there again. Some will always have, Their heads up in the clouds. Whether that makes them glad, Their conscious fails them now. Others desire to get away, Through the shiny edge of a knife. They just can’t face another day, They’d rather endanger their life. There are those who force their hands, By taking the wheel and steer. They’ve crashed before they began, In the looming puddles near. There are the meek; the humble. The boisterous and proud. Those who always stumble. Those who are always loud. There are the quiet; the shameful. Those like porcelain glass. Those with taste so disadainful, In reality they’d never last. And then there are always those, Who blindly remain open. Taking how life goes, Emotionally they are broken. But they are the ones who realize, How destructive we can be. They see beyond such cryptic eyes. They see what most can’t see. And they remain the strongest ones, Battling through everything. To them the shots of a gun, Is nothing to what they’ve seen. They exhibit such empathy, Understanding how others feel. They put others before them endlessly, While their own problems are concealed. So next time you complain, About how life is just so tough, Rather than point the blame, Realize we all have it rough.

The college life

I thought I would just spill out all of my emotions on here just because... But anyways this week has gone great and I don't want anything to mess it up. To start off I got an A on my A&P 2 practical lab exam which was pretty exciting :) next my class got cancelled today so I was pretty happy about that. My roommates and I had the best conversation ever tonight and I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did tonight. We ordered pizza and just watched TV and chilled. They're a lot of fun and we've become so much closer even over the last couple weeks :) oh yeah and I signed up for 3 clubs today so I'm also kinda excited to start going to those and meeting more people :)

I will walk away!!

[quotestohelpyou]

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

Nicholas Sparks (via quotestohelpyou)

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
