Philippians 4:13

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength"

At last nights service this line stuck out the most to me!!!! (wonder why?? ha ha)
I CAN DO ANYTHING AND I CAN GET THROUGH ANYTHING THAT IS THROWN MY WAY THROUGH HIS STRENGTH AND GUIDANCE I CAN DO IT !!!
I think we all get caught up in our day to day lives and tend to pity ourselves for this or that, BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS --God would not put us through every single situation that he does (both good and bad) if it where not for an end purpose. (and most of the time it is in some way shape or form more beneficial to us) Jesus Christ was put through what he was FOR A PURPOSE--for each and everyone, so that we can live the lives we do.
I think we need to be grateful and i think we tend to forget all the good we have in our lives.
We like to pick out the negative
It is understandable
But every now and then we need to give ourselves a reality check and analyze our lives and the meaning of it as well.
If you have always wanted to do something -you should do it! our ending day on earth is only getting closer.

I am negative towards this deployment a lot of my days and the challenges that it faces me with HOWEVER I know that in the end it is only going to make my husband and I's relationship stronger! We are slowly becoming even better communicaters.  It will make me stronger as an individual as well as make me appreciate him and all he is to me!
I am going to start doing things that i have wanted to do and saying I will do someday!! well that day is NEAR and I am starting the process!
I dont see any better time

-cooking: experimenting, finding healthy meals, delicious meals, interesting meals, things i wouldnt normally try ect
-sewing: idk what but I love materials and I am going to start something up
-volleyball: I am on a womans volleyball league and may join another (I cant seem to get motivated to work out so maybe this will help)
-donate bone marrow
-go on a missions trip
-serve the lord through doing good to others (especially those in misfortunate circumstances)

Are you walking on water today (like Peter) or are you drowning??
YOU CHOOSE --make it a great day
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you wake on the right side of the bed :)
