He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV) This verse is so incredibly true, as is all the bible but this verse can be applied to our earth as well as ourselves. Imagine nature, you plant a tree or flowers as just seeds the size of an ant and in time it's sprouts, grows leaves then the flower blooms. Sometimes I am so amazed at the beauty of nature. It's takes my breathe away, especially in Fall. I have been alive for 21 years and still October hits and the leaves change to various colours and it never ceases. Winter comes and passes then spring comes and no matter what the groundhog sees or doesn't see on February 1st, in its own time Spring will come, but only when the time is right not because of some groundhog who, as we saw this year, clearly can't determine when Spring comes. The end of this verse is very import...

Hello Guys! I hope everyone is having an amazing/safe Friday night! Tonight I was doing the dishes and listening to music and Chase Coy's "Coming Clean" song came on. The song is written as a love song but I took it in a different sense and meshed it with something that has been on my mind lately. I want you all to understand that even though in my posts I am giving answers, I am in no way trying to show that I am perfect. I want to come clean with you all about myself. I'm not perfect, God is perfect. All my posts that contain answers, are all areas that I've struggled through and God has shown me the answers. How awesome is it that we have a God who has already written out our entire lives? He knew that my husband and I would wed this year rather than next. He knows what will happen to me tomorrow and the day after that. Isn't that awesome? Some of you may be agreeing with me because it really is awesome but it is also extremely annoying, am I right? When ...

Everyone on this earth have had their hearts broken at one point or another. Maybe you're a girl in high school who didn't make the cut when it came down to him choosing you or some other girl. Maybe your best friend went behind your back or used you to further your his own career. Every single person has had their heart broken and trust has been lost. The norm is to turn towards something when you've been defeated; maybe you turn to music, art, or even something as drastic as alcohol. It is something that takes up all your time so that you can find comfort that your heart needs. Maybe it will work for a short period of time but it's just like placing a band-aid over your heart. I was there, my cousin (Justin, who raped me) severed my trust in humanity, boys broke my heart, I found comfort in meaningless sex then eventually evil crept inside me when I got an abortion. But I am living, breathing proof that even though the world has pushed you around and teared you apar...

How many of you ask yourselves, why was I worth the pain that Christ endured on the cross? I ask myself the same question all the time and it's usually Communion Sunday because we're are breaking "bread" and drinking juice that is suppose to resemble Jesus' body being broken and his blood shed for us. My heart aches each time I take communion because I'm aware of all the sin I have committed in my life and Jesus had no sin the entire time he walked on this earth but yet took the punishment that we all should have endured. But let me tell you something, whenever I have the recurring thoughts of my past, God tells me that it is Satan bringing me back, because it is. The Devil is going to remind you of all your past sin just so that you can look into a mirror and say "I'm not worth it" but imagine Jesus up on the cross, nails pierced into His body telling you that you are worth it! The other day I was kicking the soccer ball around listening to musi...

I'm going to begin this post by asking a simple question, "Are you having a good day?". Some of you may answer positively (If this is you, bookmark this page and come back when you believe you're not having a good day) but most of the time people will say this like, "It could be better" or "Not really" and then there is the plain answer of "no". After you answer the question, you usually will explain why, however I want those of you who answer No to look at the "big picture" (your whole day), go through each thing you did, each person you spoke to and tell me what happened that was good. Maybe your son or daughter rode their bike for the very first time, or they received a good grade on an assignment. Maybe your wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, did something for you. Now, here is a passage from the Bible:  "6  do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let...

Once upon a time there was a Princess who grew up outside of the kingdom which her Father ruled over. This was the way all Princes and Princesses grew up. Her Father set aside rules that she was suppose to follow so that one day she could join Him in his Kingdom. Princesses in her Father's kingdom need to be well-behaved and loving and this Princess had a lot to learn. Throughout her childhood her Father watched over as she was led astray from the rules he had set for her. It wasn't that she was a bad Princess, the parents the King appointed for her didn't know the rules existed. As the Princess grew into her teenage years, she grew out of her shell and began to try new things and deal with grievances which a child shouldn't have to deal with. Her Father continued to watch over her throughout  the abuse, the parties, and the impurity. However when his daughter was sixteen she got herself into a situation which to her was an easy fix, but she didn't know how seriou...

A snap shot of a sunset at Potsdam. Hey Everyone! I completely forgot that I started a blog last year and now finally remembered! So what's up with me? Well, I just started another year at college but this year is a little different, I am at SUNY Potsdam. Potsdam is about an hour away from the Canadian border so I am currently in the Tundra of New York. But this is good, SUNY Potsdam is known for it's teaching program and since I want to be a teacher it would only make sense to come here. I'm having a little trouble adjusting, mostly because I miss my cats. I don't know if I told you all this but I have two cats, Ashlee and Cookie-Gandhi. Ashlee isn't normal and frankly I am a little worried leaving her with my family because they can be so mean to her. Cookie however should be okay on his own, and if you all are wondering about his name it was originally Cookie, but all of the other cats at my house would pick fights with him and he wouldn't stoop to their ...
