Let's just celebrate HIM.

My mom doesn't like to celebrate Christmas because she believes it's not actually about Jesus. And I agree that the world has made that holiday into something about US. The people. And I say Why can't we just celebrate Jesus?
December 25th may not be the actual  day He was born but why can't we choose to celebrate Him on that day anyway? Christmas really should be a matter of everyday life anyway. Not the presents or the trees or the decorations, but celebrating Jesus. And something my mom pointed out, it says in the Bible not to celebrate Jesus's birth but His death. (I haven't actually seen a verse like that so I cannot truthfully say anything about that.) But why can't we make Christmas about Jesus's everything? His birth, His death, His resurrection, His Miracles, His love, the list goes on and on. Why is December 25th only meant for one thing? And why can't we celebrate Jesus everyday?  We can. Not Christmas everyday, no presents, or decorations or trees or anything related to Christmas, but celebrating Jesus for Him. Do His will for you, obey him, Trust him, Boast about Him, and do anything and everything that glorifies Jesus. Just do it. Do it for Christ. There is not one person who can say it's not that simple. Because it is. We can't change the world but we can change some people in it. You as in individual can celebrate Christmas for what it's really supposed to be. Everyday is about Jesus. ❤

God's Art.

I walked out to the fence where my land stops and my neighbors starts. I was only there to catch the fighting cats, but something else stopped me. It was the beauty. The lovely pond, the wonderful blue sky, and the endless trees and magnificent fields. As I rocked back and forth on  the wire fence, admiring the serene beauty I started to think. This is God's art. I thought. And I'm God's art. I am beautiful because God created me. It's so awesome that God wanted me in this world, that I have a purpose. That God saw me fit to fulfill this purpose in life. Suddenly everything seemed OK. Being behind on school was OK, fighting with my parents seemed stupid and OK, all my worries were so little and stupid. Everything was OK. Everything I had just thought went to my heart. Knowing that God created beautiful, wonderful things. Nothing changed but somehow everything did. Jesus loves me and he gave me a purpose in life. His purpose. It's truly an honor 💕 Just...

Some see a weed, I see a wish.

Have you ever seen one of these? Well many people call it a weed.  But what I see is a wish.  A prayer really.  Whatever I wish for  I pray about to.  So for me it's a reminder to pray.  Then I just pray about so much more so that "weed"  helps me spend more time with God.  What is it you see? A weed or a wish?

Love, Peace, Hope, Joy.

The words love, hope, peace and joy used to be just words to Me. But after really being depressed and stressed I gave all my problems to God and I'm trusting him to take care of me. The other day I was feeling really bad and I got really mad and upset when some girl was being insensitive about my grandpa's  death. She probably didn't know it but it still hurt me all the same. So anyway I was feeling horrible and I had been fighting with my mom and so I was upset. And then I thought of the song "Something in the water"  by Carrie Underwood. And in the song she talks about giving everything bad over to God and she found love, and strength and now she is changed. So I went in my bedroom,  I fell to my knees,  and I asked God to forgive me for not trusting him when I know I should have,  and I gave him everything. I'm happy now. I am loved by God,  I can hope in God, I get Joy from God and and most importantly to me I have found peace in God. The Lord is...
