Blankless

Where do I start? So much has happened since the last time I've posted. My life has been all over the place, you could say. The day I posted was a sad sad day for me. Some of my friends got into a car accident, and I had no idea that until an hour after I wrote on here. I looked back the other day and saw what I wrote. It was sort of weird to think I was writing about death not even knowing what happened that morning...

Anyways, on the positive note.. I've had a very good couple of weeks. We recently went on ski trip for our youth group, and I became closer with friends, and more importantly, closer to Jesus. Also it was just Valentine's Day! I love Valentine's day. Not for the couples or for the lovey dovey-ness of it all. But just so I can make the people in my life feel special and loved. I made all of my teachers at school cupcakes. Their faces light up when I gave them. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Like how you feel when you make other people feel good. And not just by a compliment or a quick smile in the hall.. But actually taking your time and doing something special for them. I loved every moment of it. I also spent V-Day with my best friend. Yeah, I know I talk about him a lot. But I don't really have any friends quite like him! Anyways, we had a fancy dinner together, with my family and then we did homework. Fun night, right? It was actually mostly fun. Besides the homework part. :)

In conclusion, I'm not real sure how to feel lately. My heart feels so much sorrow, and yet at the same time I'm a happy person. I always have been, and I always will be. God doesn't make mistakes. And even though this is hard to comprehend and make sense of, all things work for good for those who love the Lord.

Morning

Goodmorning, world! I'm delighted to be awakened by your presence this morning. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fall asleep and just not wake up in the morning? I'm sure it would be the most peaceful way to die. I've wondered about that sometimes. With each morning, I wake up and silently thank Jesus for letting me have just one more day. One more day to make a difference, one more day to love someone. Just one more day. If we truly lived our life as if it was our last day, I think we could do great things. Don't you?

~This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Psalm 118:24~


Thank you, Jesus, for this day.

February

Happy February, everyone.

Special

I have a lot of special people in my life. People that I can count on. People that I know are always going to be there for me. These people are my loved ones, my friends, my family. You name it, and that's what they are. 

I know these pictures are kind of at random, but each and every single person in all of these photos means the world to me. They all have a special place in my heart, and I'm so thankful to call them my friends. I love that they're apart of my life, and there would be a bunch of little holes in my heart if I didn't have them.

~P.S. I have many more people in my life who are special to me, but I just can't seem to find pictures. Darn!~

Friends

The other day a school friend and I were talking, and out of the blue she goes "Well you know Melly... not all friends are as close as you and Drew." It made my heart happy to know that not only do I see something special in our friendship, but other people see it too. Drew, you'll never be replaced in my heart. Thanks for being here for me. I will never take you for granted, best friend.

Fill me up God

Ephesians 3:19 - And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.


Need I say more?

Fun kids

For those of you that do babysit. You'll understand this post.

Last night I was babysitting for some friends of mine. Yes, I do see them as friends, not as old people. Anyways, their kids are wonderful. They have kids that you WANT to babysit, and spend time with. They have wonderful manners and they are so polite. Plus, they feel like family, and it's always more fun to babysit for people you feel are family, right? So last night we played games, ate supper, played more games, had a dance party, and just had fun spending time together over all. I was sad to put them to bed. But as they crawled into bed, we prayed. Hearing those sweet little voices pray to Jesus made my heart melt. It reminded me to have faith like a child. It reminded me not to come to God, with these big words, that in the end, does anyone really care about anyways? I knew that Jesus heard those prayers last night. It was special.

I love these kids. With my whole heart.
