Is it Really Worth it?


Emo picture I know. Bare with me.

So the question is what do you do if love drifts apart? I mean 2 people drift apart? What do you do? Do you just stand by and do nothing?

Why do people commit to love each other but then after a while their love grows cold?

Isn't it true that when you commit to love somebody, that you stick with that person through thick and thin?

Yes yes, I know we're selfish human beings and we break our promises and we don't always mean what we say (I know I'm like that at times). But when God breathed into our nostrils, He breathed love into us as well. With love comes pain I know that as well. You can't have true love for somebody/anybody without a measure of pain for that person as well. I just wish we could stop looking at other people's faults or failures and realize that we got them as well. Why can't we just see the good in people? Why do we always have to see the negative in people? People will be people just like we are. Can't we just cut each other some slack?

Staying Strong in the Middle of a Storm


Ohhh the storms of life...don't we all love them? Well, I'm not a huge fan myself :)
It's hard and uncomfortable but that is where we grow the most. I mean that's where Peter learned to have the most faith...in the midst of the storm and what's more...he had to walk on water to his Mentor Who believed in "learning on the job." That takes crazy faith to do that! I want that crazy faith as well. It doesn't come easy...the thing about having faith...is having to practice it. It can't just lay dormant...you have to get out there and practice by being obedient to God's voice. Yes, I know "Look who's talking." I wanna get out there and do what God wants me to do....but I think God gives us opportunity everyday to do something for someone even if it just a smile. I'm learning that if God sees us faithful in the little, He can trust us with sooo much more!

That's it for today :)
