I really didn't have time to come up with something good to write about and hope this will do. This is just the spur of the moment kind of thing. Been trying to do this for like a week now. So weird, wasn't that long it seem like I didn't have enough to do and now its like I have to make plans so I can do stuff in time. With trying to find a job and trying to make a budget, things are getting really scary mainly because this grown up stuff in really happening. Before I was pretty much taken care of, now my Grandparents are teaching me things I need to know. I know no one said it'd be easy, I guess it'll be hard at first until I get used to it. I had someone in Austin tell me that life is hard, we have to suck it up and work with what we have and can do because it isn't gonna get any easier. I'm thinking with God in our hearts and prayers, maybe with Him life won't be so hard because we'll have the kind of joy and love He gives. And with Him, even in the Bible it says "With Him We Can Do All Things" I think its in the Bible, not sure. I don't have it with me right now and if I did I wouldn't have a clue where to look for it. A friend of mine would know though, if she reads this she would know that I'm talking about her. I text her a lot asking questions about God and stuff. She is very helpful and I look up to her, always.
In the past two weeks a lot has happened. I can't really get into details, but I had to really trust God and have great faith in Him. It was hard because I really didn't think things would get any better than they were and didn't know if things would get better either with a friend of mine in Austin. But it did with many prayers and faith. I'll still be praying and I thank all my friends for praying with me and being there, I thank my Grandparents who still helps and supports me in any way they can, and I am very thankful that God was and will still be there for all of us. I think it's always important to pray and be thankful, not just when we need something or having a hard time.
Another thing I just have to share that I really believe 100% is that "A Thankful Heart is a Happy Heart" a friend of mine let me borrow a tape on Veggie Tales. Now I know I'm not a kid and all, but I love Veggie Tales and the Bible stories. This Veggie Tale was a lesson in Thankful, I loved the lesson so much I watch it twice. Sadly to say my same friend has one tape left for me to see. She has been letting me watch Veggie Tales after Veggie Tales each week. I'm very thankful she did and I will continue to look for more Veggie Tales.
Once I do get a job (if I ever do) I'm not sure what my plans will be or if I'll have time to keep writing on here, but my Sunday school teacher seems to make time for hers so maybe I can too. I just need to make time once I figure out what I'm doing when I get a job and get going. I'm praying and hoping when I do get a job I still can make it to Sundays morning church and Wednesdays night bible study. I just don't think I can give any of those up, I live for God or at least that's my main plan to. I just think if I give anything up that has to do with God then I'm not doing what He wants. I have this saying that I been using and not sure if others use it or not, but its "Live for God and a little less me" I just love saying that and I do mean it. I know lately I haven't been reading the Bible as often as I was before and I know that's not good at all. That's where tomorrow comes in, I'm taking a whole hour to give the Bible my full attention and then I will finish my homework for King's Daughters.
Well, I must go because I can go on for days and write forever. I wish everyone and anyone who reads this the best. I'll write something sooner or later....... (:
Brandi, I love to read what you write!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am not the friend you text...I am the friend you call. But I can help you out with two of the Bible verses (scriptures) you are looking for.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13
"He must increase, and I must decrease."
I can't remember the book, chapter and verse for that one...but I will find out!
