obsession worthy? he is...

look at me.

i have done it again.

another month. (what the heck)

so sorry...

anyways, lately life has seemed like a fairy tale(:

grades are decent, spring break is almost here, and i have the cutest boyfriend on earth.

But i keep reminding myself, this is not why i am here.

I am not here to be obsessed with life. I am here to be obsessed with God.

I get obsessed with things easily. TOO easy.

when i find something new that i like, i get obsessed.

and it is ALL i think about, but therefore the new wears off fast. TOO fast.

Therefore, i have decided the only thing that the new will not wear off of is God.

He is never changing but he is always a mystery. <--- insane.

So he is the only thing worth being obsessed with. the ONLY thing.

but i have to keep reminding myself of that, or i will become obsessed with things that are not worthy. (not good)

i am becoming more and more obsessed with God everyday... seeing more of his glory. : )

so good. so PERFECT. so God.

Change... : )

Oh gosh.

im sorry.

im sorry its been so long.

its been over a month.

uhh. my bad.

So even though its been i while im gonna

jump right back in to this whole blogging deal : )

Last week was a wakeUP call...

not in a bad way. but not in a good way.

i have realized we will not always sit and soak up our perfect lives.

(nothing other than the name of Christ is perfect.it may seem that way. but it wont last.)

But honestly we think our little ray of sunshine will last forever. (or we hope)

but sooner or later God is gonna shake it up to say "you need me. BAD"

Life changes often.

Learn to live with it

and don't fear change.

God knows what he is doing!

This week. i have learned a better concept of love.

love is here with us. always.

no matter what kind of love. people do love you.

I have been a more loving friend this week.

I have been a more loved friend this week.

at the time where you think love is gone, its actually overflowing.

You get hit in the face with how fast something can be gone.

I want to love a person like it is my last day with them.

I want to love a person like it's the first time.

I want to love a person like the Father loves his people. (not possible)

but its worth a try. right? : )

Honestly i am SOOO blessed.

yet there is SOOO much i take for granted. (all the time)

blah.

but its so true!

I have the best:

family

friends

teachers

role models

siblings.

cousins.

church family.

a girl could even ask for....

yet a forget about how lucky i am to have them ALL the time.

I hurt people.

and then i look back and think

"what did you do, you little selfish child"

because i could not ask for a better life then the one God has placed me in.

yet i mess it up often. very often.

the point of this blog...

just love. everyone.

you don't know when God will take them away.

you don't know what will happen with them tomorrow.

so just love them.

whoever is reading this.

iloveyousomuch.

and i am sorry if i have ever hurt you in anyway.

: ) lex!

Others before yourself : )

Ok so did you know humans are selfish? Well we are. VERY.

So today has been a rather boring day... extremely boring!

I babysat allllll morning. And when my mom got home i planed to go up to my grandmothers to help with Christmas cooking : ).

Well by the time i could go...she was done.

Also i asked kayla to come over but... that did not work.

So i have literally been doing nothing for like the past 2 hours.

But then i thought...

WOW im am SOO. self-ish.

I am sitting here in a heated house.

with a lemonade in my hand.

on my warm bed.

with my macbook in my lap.

YEAHH.

There are people in Africa today who will not eat.

who will not drink.

who will die.

There are people in ALABAMA who will not eat.

not drink.

and die.

WOAH. hold up.

There are people in my TOWN who will not eat.

not drink.

and die tonight.

yet here i am being a selfish little brat.

what THA heck.

i was created in the image of Christ. is this how Christ acts... ummm.

i think NOT. not at all.

Is this how Christ intended for us to act. i think NOT.

So think about others before thinking about how "terrible" your life is.

:)...

Merry CHRISTmas Everyone!!!

Keep your eyes on the prize (HIM)!

Keep your eyes one the prize.

The prize is HIM.

Jesus Christ. LORD. Savior. Best Friend.

Satan wants you too leave him for something else.

Don't let Satan win. Don't let him get he wants.

Satan is VERY sneaky. He can let things get in the way all the time.

We are here because of God.

We are living because of God.

Everything we are is because of God.

So why should we not give him our all.?

WE SHOULD. but...

Do we? Do we always give him our all?

Well if you just said yes, that is a lie...

we should all act our lives like we are saved by the one and only savior. but we don't.

We get to caught up in earthly things.

DON'T loose focus. Keep your eyes on Jesus.

He is the only thing worth our time.

He is the only thing that will matter in the end.

He is LIFE! He is our all and all.

SO give him your ALL!

BE. thankful.

Thanksgiving.

What is the first word to pop into your head when you hear that word?

Maybe... turkey, football, or spending time with family.

But, what is the real reason for thanksgiving?

Being thankful for what you have. And caring for others who don't have anything.

This past tuesday night, everything seemed to be going wrong.

It was two days before thanksgiving and Levi got sick with a stomach virus.

Wednesday morning Lilly and Cross got sick.

I thought to myself. GREAAT, Thanksgiving is ruined. YeSsS.

Little did i know God had other plans.

Satan, who comes to destroy thought he had gotten exactly what he wanted.

He thought we would forget about we are thankful for because we had a few sick kids.

INCORRECT.

Instead, on thanksgiving afternoon, we went to walmart.

We got some cakes and bottled waters, and headed out to downtown birmingham.

We went to a few different parks, and gave the stuff out to people who did not have a home.

Or a warm house and family who cared about them.

I felt SOOO bad for these people. Just think...

God created them just like you and me. God loves them just like he loves you and me.

YET. They are alone.

They were THRILLED to get one piece of cake and a water.

I think that was one of my favorite thanksgiving memories yet.

Although my thanksgiving dinner was a burger from sonic. It's a lot more than most.

It felt so good to help others instead of helping myself.

BE. THANKFUL.

if you are reading this right now in your warm house on your computer.

you are BEYOND blessed.

Thats something we get daily and do not think twice about. No biggie, huh?

mg :)
