ya just gotta roll with it
in your life God throws things at you, they may be good, and they may be bad. if you try and ignore the fact that its from God, you'll be in a world of hurt, so ya just gotta roll with it.

mistakes and their blessings
so every day we make mistakes right? i know i do...and it totally sucks when its already too late when you realize that youve actually MADE a mistake. but isnt it funny how God works? its the times when you think all is fine...at least YOU think they are. then he 'pops up and slaps you in the face' as a friend of mine so bluntly and perfectly put it...sometimes the slapping isnt bad at all, but sometimes, it sucks...baaad. and its in those times that you just need to give it all to him. my new favorite verse comes to mind when i think of when you go through sucky times, and even the good...you feel like God has left you when it sucks, but when its good, you think youve got it all under control.
---Ecc 7:14 'when times are good be happy, but when times are bad consider: God has made the one as well as the other. therefore a man cannot know anything about his future.'---
ive had this belief for a while, but this verse just solidifies it in my heart. i know that there are gonna be times that ill make mistakes, sometimes those mistakes will be worse than others, but i know, i just KNOW that whatever happens because of it will happen because thats how God knew it would happen. and i find great joy in that...knowing that God knew that i would make these mistakes, these 'i know what im doing' decisions, and has a plan just for that, a plan that will have a way better outcome than the outcome that i thought would be 'ok by me'...God says, 'ha! how bout a plan thats ok for ME?' its just a blessing to know that God is God and i cant do a thing about it! i just cant imagine my life without him. well, i can, but its scary...i just couldnt live with the fact that could be wrong thinking that God didnt exist...sure my flesh likes the sin, but my spirit cant live with it. it HATES it!! im content in not knowing what will happen with me, no matter how much i may WANT to know, i know that i cant! im content with knowing what will happen will happen, i cant say 'no' to what i dont know will happen...and thats the exciting part of life!! to any of you who read this note, and have been affected by any mistakes ive made in the time weve know each other, forgive me for being selfish. forgive me for thinking i know better than God. forgive me for being blind to your emotions. forgive me for wanting what i WANT, not wanting what i NEED. anyways, i hope you take this for what it is, and maybe even learn from it if you feel so compelled to do so! lol i leave you with this...what happens happens, you cant change the future. how can you? you dont know whats coming. so be happy when its goin good, and when things hit the fan, know this, God has made them both...therefore he must have known that times were gonna be bad so he made the outcome of the crappy time all that much better...hopefully anyways, but thats what faith is all about! isnt it? God bless you all! thanks for reading.

stuff i wrote...its prty!
why? thats one question i always ask...
why do you have to not see the love i have for you?
why do you have to ignore my love?
why do you hurt me, not because you dont love me back, but because you dont want to talk to me?
why do i try so hard when you dont want to see it?
why do i love you?
why am i so broken because you dont want to talk?
why do i want to cry when i see you, or hear your name?
why do i choose to still love you even when you dont love back?
why do you not want to talk?
why...why?
i love you so!
can you not see that?
it is right here in front of your face!
open your eyes and see it!
come to me and talk, because i am here for just that.
i am here to love and care for you in times of struggle.
i am here...FOR YOU!
i love you.
----------------------------------------------------------------
sometimes...
sometimes i wish i could know
sometimes i just wanna be free of it all
sometimes i just wanna change the world
sometimes i wish you could know my love for you
sometimes i could cry,
sometimes i could rejoice, for the love You have for me
sometimes i dont wanna try
sometimes i wanna be with You
sometimes i dont know why
sometimes i just wanna have peace
sometimes i want them to know
sometimes i want them to see
sometimes i want them to hear
sometimes i wanna just see You now
sometimes i just wanna be...
sometimes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lord God in heaven,
I praise you!
Your word is like sweet honey to my mouth
o Lord.
Your Spirit gives me the milk
to make me mature o God.
Your love is like the oceans,
vast and deep o Lord.
The joy I have in you, o God,
is so great I cannot express.
Lord God in heaven above,
I give you my praises.
Lord, there is none like You,
loving the lost and giving to the poor.
The works you have done through me o Lord,
are amazing.
Lord, without You,
I am nothing.
Lord, through You,
I am everything.
Lord, through me,
Your light shines through.
O God! Your Spirit is amazing!
Keeping the world as it should be.
O Lord my God, King of kings, Lord of lords,
keep me for Your kingdom.

the song that rescued me
You Never Let Go
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out fear.
And even when I´m caught in the middle
Of the storms of this life,
I won´t turn back; I know You are near.
And I will fear no evil,
For my God is with me.
And if my God is with me,
Whom then shall I fear? Whom then shall I fear?
O no, You never let go,
Through the calm and through the storm
O no, You never let go,
In every high and every low
O no, You never let go, Lord You never let go of me.
And I can see a light that is coming
for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare.
And there will be an end to these troubles,
But until that day comes,
We´ll live to know You here on the earth.
Yes, I can see a light that is coming
For the heart that holds on,
And there will be an end
To these troubles,
But until that day comes,
Still I will praise You,
Still I will praise You.
so yea...this is just about my favorite song ever...it reminds me of his love for me...God gave me this song when i was just a few steps from turning my back on him...and i am just remeinded of his absolute
love for me cuz he actually wants me, a sinner, for him!!! just thinkin bout it moves me...i feel so happy now!...o man! I LOVE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
