Summer

whew! I dont know about yall , but my summer is FlYiNg by like crazy. Im starting school in a short 3 1/2 weeks. I had a whole list of things i wanted to ( fully ) accomplish. But it just hasnt quite happened that way. One of my goals was to read every night for 10 minutes in the bible, and to journal one page every night. I have found that I really like to journal - its a good place for thoughts that you would rather nobody else knew, or just to go over what happened during the day without boring anyone except yourself. Another was to start, and hopefully get a big chunk out of my drivers ed done. I have accomplished the first level on the internet ( out of 7 ) and I now need to take my permit test, so I have a long way to go. I would rather take driving slower anyway, I dont feel nervous about driving here in small town USA, but I dont want to drive in the "city" :D. Usually I make a post and try to make a point to it, but I started to ask what the point of this blog is anyway?? I recently went to visit my Grandma, and was encouraged to hear that she does like to read what I write, and she likes how it comes to a point. I was happy to hear this, because improving this blog was one of my summer "projects". So, I suppose my point today is never underestimate how much your words mean to someone. You are either constantly building someone up, or tearing them down. Its your choice, your words are not dictated by anyone but yourself. Make a point to build people up today!

James 1:19

James 1:19
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

In HIS image

I will praise YOU, for i am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Psalm 139:14

GOD has made each one of us in HIS own image (Gen. 1:27). HE made us how HE wanted us. We are each beautiful. Everything that defines us as who we are was designed by GOD. HE made blondes for a reason. HE made short people for a reason. HE made extroverts and introverts all for a reason. Each one of us plays a role in HIS plan and we are specifically designed for that role. If we were any different we not be able to do the job HE has planned for us. You may be afraid to talk, don't worry, GOD needs someone to listen. You might never be quiet, don't worry, GOD needs someone to speak out for HIM. You may not be able to stand still, don't worry, GOD needs someone to spread the word. You might be afraid of large groups of people, don't worry, GOD needs someone to talk to individuals. You see GOD has a job for each and everyone of us, and HE created us just right to do that job. So praise the LORD for you are fearfully and wonderfully made!!
