Today I took a moment to check out my back account… and well it wasn’t pretty just like any other college students! The first thing you think is… oh crap how am I going to ever make rent for the month. So as I sit here and wonder what to do or how i’m going to be able to manage to make rent. Believing in my faith pops into my mind. As i sit here and wonder and freak out about my financial issues, I also remember that no matter what happens I know that the Man above is going to give me opportunities to make money and pay for rent. He will look out for me no matter the situation, he will find ways to not let me fall, and if I do he will graciously pull me up. I met up with an old friend the other day and she ask, “How did you fall inlove with Jesus?” I tell her its a funny and corny story to be honest… and well it was in the time of Uncertainty that he put himself back into my life… He listened to what I asked and he provided me with events that allowed me to understand that he had been listening. It’s a story that I don’t tell very often, but if anyone ever wants to hear it i’d be more than willing to share! It’s always funny to think about a lot of the things that I’ve been through these last few years… and how every time I look back upon some of them, my family, faith, and friends are the ones who have pulled me through. I look back on some events and think of it as The Lords way of getting himself back into my life, I look back on it as getting my family closer together, and I look at it as finding my true friends. Its been a few days since I last talked to Casey and before that a few yrs… but as we talked it felt like we were two new people who were meeting again for the first time as we both have found our love for our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ. Casey I wish you the best of luck with your fundraising, I wanted to leave with this… it’s always in time of Uncertainty where the Lord will let us know he is listening. “Therefore I say to you, whenever you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.” ~Mark 11:24~ So Casey don’t freak out about trying to reach this bench mark of fundraising but rather trust Him that he will give you the opportunity to accomplish what you feel is impossible! God Bless and If anyone is reading this please pray for Casey!

This is my first Blog ever and i’m pretty excited as I’ve always had an itch to write… Yesterday a buddy of mine (Lenn) was over at my place and to kill time we decided to show each other a bunch of youtube videos that we liked… He showed me what I think might be the one of my favorite speeches of all time…Which I’ve also posted. It really got me thinking about life and how we as people sometimes start taking things for granted. I know most of us have been through a lot in our lives, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad… but why is it that we remember the bad more than the good? Is it because with the bad its left an empty feeling inside of us in which we try so hard to get rid of but can’t? With the bad times good things eventually come out of it… sometimes in a day and others in a lifetime. After a night out on the town with some friends, Morgan and I sat outside and talked about religion faith and just life itself. We discussed the topic of believing that everything happens for a reason. Now is it that we can just sit here and expect good things to happen to us? Is believing in God and loving Jesus enough… but what about those who maybe have lost their faith a little over the years… they are still Gods children does it mean they can’t glorify and shine in the same light as the ones who have kept strong with their faith? The way I look at it, i do believe that everything happens for a reason, but we cannot simply just sit here and expect good things to happen, whether you’re a believer or not. I believe that no matter what we do (right or wrong) we don’t know if its the right or wrong choice. We choose to either go one way or another… but no matter what way we go there is always going to be another choice at the end of that road and from that choice its going to lead yet to another choice its almost never ending, and eventually this road is going to lead us to who we were always meant to be in the end… this is the road I like to call LIFE. So to answer that question yes everything does happen for a reason and in the end everything is going to be perfect… but perfection for one person, is not always perfect for another… that’s the beauty of LIFE. Our LIFE is going to be perfect in the end because of the right and wrong decisions that we have made along this beautiful road. How do we learn what is right and wrong without ever making any mistakes in our lives? Mistakes are part of our lives which sometimes just does not seem fair, but that’s the beauty of Grace. In the end though we should be THANKFUL for everything that we have in our lives and should be thankful for everything that’s happened in our lives because everything in the end does happen for a reason! “In EVERYTHING give THANKS for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus” ~1Thessalonians5:18~
