"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." This is so true. Think about it. Are you struggling with something? More than likely. Is you're best friend? Probably. So more than likely, someone you don't know that well is too. You don't know their story, you don't know what is going on at home, you don't know what's happening with their social life. What if you were getting bullied while your parents are getting a divorce, you're best friend is doing self harm and you're trying to help him/her, and you have a girlfriend/boyfriend just dumped you because you weren't "good enough" for you. How would that feel? How would you take it? Pretty bad I would think. So if you are bulling someone, put yourself  in their situation and think twice before you do it. Why would you want to bully someone anyways? To make you feel better? Get another hobby to make you feel better like paint, boxing, blog, marshal arts, etc. Why do you want someone to feel less than you? Do you want people to go through what you are at that time, maybe worse things because you are bulling them.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Why would you want to be mean to someone? I don't understand why people can or want to be mean. I understand if someone did something to you, but it still doesn't give you the right to be mean. You should be nice and kind and sweet to everyone you meet and every one you have met.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

"There is love all around the world"

Isn't amazing to think there is love all around the world? There is someone in love with someone across the world, as well as people on this side. They love the person the same as we do. We would fight for them, care for them, and maybe even die for them. People love people that are across the country from each other. For insistence, mother and children are at home while the father is at war, or the father and children are at home while the mother is at war. 


Love can be hard to live with. You can be fighting, you could disagree with something and so much more. But by the end of something you realize that what ever you were having struggles with was stupid to fight over and you still love them. Love is the greatest key to life. 


Love can also be easy to live with. Some couples hardly ever fight, they disagree with each other but is okay with it, and so much more. You can tell when people are happily in love and who isn't. People who are is always smiling and happy. People who aren't, isn't always happy and some times smile, or maybe a fake smile.


Also when you are a teenager it is interesting to think that your love of your life is walking on this earth right now waiting to see you. I find it weird to think about but it's actually kinda cool. 


"There is love all over the world" and that is true. 

"all we have is now"

"All we have is now." It's so true! We are not promised tomorrow. We are only promised the moment right now. You or I could die in a minute. Live like you don't have another second. Make sure you say everything you need to today because your not promised tomorrow.

"All we have is now." We don't have another time but now. The past already happened and you can't go back, no matter how much you want to. The future isn't promised for us so "all we have is now." You can only live for now. There isn't any way around it. You can think and live for the future but that isn't going to help your life right now.

"All we have is now" we don't have anything else but now. We have friends, family, the music we like, our personality, but that can change tomorrow. Things can change in a second.

"All we have is now." Live like we don't have another moment.

"The choices you make show God what your priorities are."

"The choices you make show God what your priorities are." This quote is amazing! Think about it, is God you're number one priority? If you said yes, then think really hard about it. What do you do as soon as you wake up? Do you pray, read the Bible, meditate? Or do you read the paper, take a shower, eat? I personally think that you should pray when you get up and substitute the paper with the Bible or switch off days. But I don't know.

 How long do you spend praying a day? one minute, 30 minutes, an hour? Now how long do you spend on your phone? one minute, an hour, all day? It's probably a lot. If you use your phone more than pray then maybe God isn't your number one priority. If you party everyday after school or after work and you go to church every Sunday, then God is defiantly not your number one priority. Doing drugs isn't necessarily what God wants you to do. He wants you to pass His word along.

If we all put God as are first priority what would the world be like? I think there wouldn't be any offensive language, offensive looks, or offensive talking. Nor would there be war, the world be at peace and love everyone. If we all put God first there wouldn't be any judgment towards other people and we would be okay with living in our own skin and we would be okay with being dIfFeReNt. We would love one another as well as our selves. We would be so so so much happier! We would see light in everything and in everyone, we wouldn't put people down.

Why did God have to give us free will? With free will we make life so awful! Media has drawn girls and guys to eating disorders, media is using a new level of violence for little kids even. People kill people. That's like a lion killing and eating a lion. That's not right! People have gone to believe that a baby isn't a baby until the child is born, when clearly the heart is beating in the womb. Music has so many curse words and inappropriate things. Why can't the world be good?

"The choices you make show God what your priorities are." Is God your number one priority? He should be.

"All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you"

"All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you" comes from songs of Solomon 4:7. This quote is saying that no matter who you are, or what you have done, you are beautiful, and don't have any flaws. God doesn't make mistakes, so you don't have flaws. You may mess up a lot but you're still perfect in God's eyes. You don't have any flaws, you're perfect. You are still beautiful even what you have done.

I like this quote a lot, "All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you". You are perfect no matter what. Sure you get bumps in the road but, there just lessons to be learned, not a mistake. There are no mistakes. They are just lessons to learned. You're still perfect though,there is nothing wrong with you.

I personally have a hard time to believe this. I feel like I do have flaws, I've messed up so many times in my life, and I'm not beautiful. But sense it's in the Bible, I try to believe it as much as I can. I also try to believe that there isn't such thing as a mistake. I just can't tell what is and what isn't in most things right now, but that doesn't mean you can't believe in it. You can believe it though. If you want to but you can't, we'll work on it together. But if you do believe in the quote "All beautiful you are my darling there is no flaw in you", than that's awesome and I'm so proud of you!

You are beautiful and flawless, don't forget it! It says so in the Bible "All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you."-Songs of Solomon 4:7

"For the love of a daughter"

This is my life story. My dad has never put down the bottle for me. He was late to most of my choir, and orchestra concerts. He was also late to my confirmation, not by much but he still was. He tells me he loves me, but it does sound like a lie. He pretends to care about me. All I think he cares about is my grades, but he could be faking that too. 

He needs to figure out on his own that the only thing that will help are relationship, and bring us closer is for him to put the bottle down. Our relationship has been awful the past year. He doesn't understand that he needs to do something he has only done once before, put down the bottle. He is clueless of that, that's the only thing he has to do. 

He doesn't except me for me for me. He calls me worthless. He hates how close I am to God. He hates the thought that I'm not Jewish. He hates how I treat him. He doesn't like me. I feel like my dad wants nothing to do with me but he covers it up, so I don't know what he wants from me, him, my family, or anything/anyone.

I want to be able to love him and him to love me like a true daughter and father have. I don't have that. He treats me like garbage. I'm tired of it. I don't want to be trash anymore. I want him to love me. A fatherly figure is a guy who cares about the child and love them. Do most teenage girls feel this way about their dad? Am I the only one? 

The song "Love for a daughter" means so much to me. It helps me get out my feeling for my dad. I want to love him but I can't the way he's treating me. 

"Love is Louder than the Pressure to be Perfect"

I had this quote on my hand all day to remind me that "Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect". This week is no fat talk week and I haven't herd much of it, but that could change tomorrow. I need to remember that love is what we need, not perfect. Perfect isn't even real. While I would look down at my hand constantly through out the day, I wrote this little paragraph so I remember "Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect" even if it's not on my hand: 

"Love is Louder than the pressure to be perfect" If you love than people will love you for you. Then you don't have to be someone else because people already like you for you. If one person sees the real you and sees the true you than and be by your side no matter what, why are you striving for this perfect that doesn't even exist? God loves you and sees you for you, and if He doesn't see flaws, why do you want to change? You should live for Him, not someone you run into for 4 years and then leaves. You need to see God and live for him and be happy with all you are because God never leaves you. When you strive for something you're not then you loose your self and you get farther from God. God made you, you,because He needs you now. Not before, not after, not later, but now! There is a reason God made you, you and not someone else. You might not think there is but there is. It might take years to figure out, but be patient, you will find out one day. "Be you because everyone else is taken".

I think Iv'e read that paragraph at least 4 times today. "Love is louder than the pressure of being perfect" is an amazing quote. It is so true because once you get this so called "perfect" body or "perfect" clothes or "perfect" attitude, someone want to change you again. The cycle never ends until you believe in your self and you stop caring what others people think. Once you stop living for other people, you start to love your self more and then you find friends that love you for you. Love is the greatest thing in the world. With out love there would be only sin in the world. No good would have been born. "Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect". When you love and you know someone loves you, than the pressure of being perfect decreases. It decreases because when you know someone loves you for you, you know you don't need to change because you're likable/lovable.

"I'm a Princess because my father is King of kings."

I am a Princess because my father is God. God created me, so therefore He is my dad. God is also King of kings because He is over everyone. He loves each and one of us equally. If God is the King, and He made me, then that makes me a princess. That also makes you a princess or prince.

Fairy Tales are real, and everyone has one. Cinderella had evil step sisters and an evil step-mother. She wasn't allowed to go to the ball, where the prince (God) would be. But she went anyways. She found God and fell in love with him. God fills your every dreams. He loves you and never stops, He never leaves you, He forgives you for everything you apologize for, He fights for you, He holds you when your scared, lonely, sad, happy, and even when your excited! He is the guy you always dream about having.

"I'm a Princess because my father is King of kings." I am always loved by God. I am His daughter. I mean everything to Him. You mean everything to Him. We are angels sent down from Heaven. My cousin has a birthmark on each of her shoulder blades. Her mom and I believe that is where her wings were before she came down.

We are all prince and princesses because our father is King of kings. Always remember that please!?! You are always special to God and me, even if I have no idea who you are. Your so so special!
"You're a princess/prince because your father is King of kings."

‎"It doesn't matter how much time you have, just what you decide to do with it"

I really like this quote. What it's saying is that time doesn't matter, all that really matters is what you do during the time you have. It's pretty self explanatory. How will you spend your time here on Earth? Will you go to jail, steal, kill people, travel the world, fight for your country, save the world, help feed the hunger, stand for what you believe in, save a life, charity?  "It doesn't matter how much time you have, just what you decide to do with it", will you use your time doing bad things, such as killing people or stealing or anything like that? Or would you do good, things as charity work, save a life, or feed the hungry? Good things may be able to change your life around, or one really bad thing could change your life. What ever way you choose God will be watching and will love you no matter what, but you still need to do good in order to go to Heaven. God doesn't leave your sight not even for a millisecond. God is your judge.

Make every moment like you were going to die the next day or even the next minute. If you knew you were going to die the next minute how would you live your life? Would you still do bad, or would you do good? I hope you would pick good. Because bad does nothing for you. Think about it, all it does is lead you to more and more trouble. Good leads you to happiness and less and less trouble.

"It doesn't matter how much time you have, just what you decide to do with it". I agree with this quote 100%. Some people have a few months to live, and some people live to 18, or even 105 years. If you live to 18, would you want to do good? 18 isn't an old age. Sure most 18 year old's party and drink, and get in trouble. But if you knew you would die the next day, would you of wanted to drink and party? Really think about it. Would you? I hope not.  Life is to precious to waste. Live with love and light.

"Don't worry about anything Instead, pray about everything tell God what you need, then thank Him for all He has done."

This is part of my favorite quote in the Bible. Philippians 4:6. "Don't worry about anything. Instead pray about everything tell God what you need and thank him for all He has done." Beautiful quote! What it means is that you  need to have faith and let God control your life and pray for the things you need help with. Once you have gotten  better,thank him for making you happy again and letting you see light. If you don't thank Him, then He may not give you as much satisfaction or as many gifts to give to the world. Giving gifts to the world is one of the best things you can have here on Earth. Right?

"Don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done." Don't worry about your life, if you put it in God's hands, then you will be more than happy and you will see life so beautifully! If you can do that, then you are amazing! I try so hard to do so, but most of the time I don't. It's hard.

I love this quote so much! No matter what happens I will always think and love it.  I actually remember why and how I found this quote. It was in the summer and My best friend was making a group of girls CD's and she was going to put our favorite quotes on it, so she asked us. I never really thought about having a favorite quote before. I kinda thought having a favorite quote was kinda weird or pointless. But when   I got that text asking what my favorite quote was, I had to really think. I grabbed the Bible and turned to random pages and read random parts of it, trying to find it. It took me a good 30 minutes or so.  The whole time I was trying to find a quote that I can relate to and maybe someday help me. That included helping me with my dad. When I flipped to the book Philippians, I didn't think it would have any but the first page I flipped to in Philippians and the first quote I say was Philippians 4:6-7. "Don't worry about anything. Instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live through Jesus Christ." I thought that was really cool, because I just got back from a conference in Louisiana called, Stubenville  South.

Stubenville South is where a group of Catholic teenagers get together and praise God. It was pretty amazing I must say. While I was there, I felt the Holy Spirit more than I ever have before. I was struggling with my dad for over a year at that time and I talked to one of my best friends Allie, and she told me just to open up and let the Holy Spirit in. So I did and I well couldn't walk for about 5 hours after that (at 1:05 in the morning to be exact). She is amazing! God worked through her so much while we where there. But once I got back I found that quote. God works in mysterious ways.

"Don't worry about anything. Instead, Pray about everything tell God what you need and then thank Him for all He has done." Don't worry about life because life will mean so much more when you don't worry. Don't forget to thank God for all He has done, so you can feel at peace and have greater deeds.

"One day your life will flash before your eyes; make sure it is worth watching"

When your eyes flash before your eyes, do you regret what you see? Or are you happy with what you see? I want you to stop and think about everything about your life, and what has happened in your past.

 Do you regret anything? I know I do. I regret almost everything about what I have felt about my life. When I look back, I see mostly everything bad that I have done, and only about three things I loved about my life. Regretting is normal, but feeling that way forever is not okay, I. You, need to forgive yourselves and bring good about it. For insistence, I have dealt with an alcoholic all my life, do I regret some of the things I have told him? Of course, but I have forgiven him and myself so I can help people with the problems I have dealt with. I'm not the best person to go to, to feel better, but I am a good listener and I can try.

"One day your life will flash before your eyes; make sure it is worth watching." Make sure you do things that you will not regret because one day it will haunt you. Why would you want to do something that you know you will regret? Wanting to do something stupid is well...stupid. I know it's hard to tell that you will regret before you do it, but think before you do. Make your life worth watching.

"God can do more for you in one second than you can do for yourself in an entire lifetime"

This quote is saying that if you surrender to God then he will take care of your problems much faster than you can do for your self. If you surrender than you will feel so much better about your self and see light in the world. When you can see light in the world you are so much happier than looking in the dark, don't you think? "God can do more for you in one second than you can do for yourself in an entire lifetime." When you read this, what do you think of? Your problems, your happy times, you surrendering? When I read it I think of all of that. I think of the times I have surrendered which made me happy. I think of my problems and I think about how I should surrender but not all the time I do. But I should, you should. Because if you do you will feel so much better and sure you will still have problems but you will have so much more strength to get though it. You won't be doing it alone! God will have lifted all of your problems on him and He will help you more than you can ever help yourself. God is Perfect. He doesn't make any mistakes! So if you surrender or give/talk to God about your problems, than life should become easier.

This quote helps me get through so much! It helps me love as well as seeing light. When I see light I am so happy. This blog helps me see light, because of the positive things I put in it. Every time I read it or write in it, I feel so much better about my life. I feel like nothing is wrong in my life and I will be okay, no matter what happens. If you don't have a blog, and you're reading this right now, I highly encourage getting one.

"God can do more for you in one second than you can do for yourself in an entire lifetime." You can't do everything yourself, you need help with life. One of my best friends just realized that a few days ago. It might take you a while to realize that, but you can't do it alone. Life has to many struggles and obstacles to do it alone. Your friends might be able to help you some, but not as much as God. He can heal you! your friends can't.

"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a Butterfly"

I love this quote! There is not a day that passes that I don't think of it. "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly." This quote is saying that when you have a struggle, you just have to keep going and eventually you will see life so beautifully. No matter what happens good comes out of it. You don't need  to give up just because you have a struggle. Everyone has their times, you just need to realize that you're not alone, and God wouldn't give you anything you couldn't handle. What I get out of this quote is that it reminds me that I can fly no matte what, and I shouldn't give up. Neither should you. You are a beautiful person. Even if I don't know you, or even if you're a guy, you are beautiful! You can fly, I can fly! Be a beautiful butterfly! I know you can. Wake up with a good attitude and that should help. Being a butterfly is so amazing. It reminds me I am beautiful, I don't have any flaws, and I can fly! No one should be able to stop you! Live as no one is watching. Be you and fly! The caterpillar can change into something amazing! That caterpillar is you.

Repenting

This video is so so so powerful. I watch this video every morning and every night to remind me what I do or did, God is always there and that I can go back to Jesus. He plays me like an instrument. Once I go to the devil the playing stops. You loose touch with God. You feel hopeless and lost, you don't know what to do. You feel like you are alone. You're not alone though. You feel that way because you left God. God is your everything. If there was no God, no Jesus, then there would be nothing to live for. But repenting can save you. It will bring you back to God and you will feel like you can do anything. When I go away from God, it's so hard to believe that God will ever forgive you for what you have done. But He does, He always will! Life is a roller coaster ride, you have ups and downs and curves in your life and you feel like you have to go with it. Maybe you do for awhile but not forever. You CAN change your life around. It's all up to you. I personally feel like this video makes  me stronger and makes me feel like I can live for God. I need to shine like the sun, so other people can see God in me. Let people see God in you! You can shine as well. Everyone was made to shine!!

‎"Don't let people who don't matter bring you down, you are beautiful"

One of my friends sent me this quote a few days ago. I have been living for other people for quite a while now. I just want to please other people and I want to live for other people. I know I need to see me for me but I can't right now. I have been living for other people for so long, I don't know who I am anymore. "Don't let people who don't matter bring you down, you are beautiful." When I graduate high school, the people who do matter will not judge and not bring me down. The people who do bring me down and judge, won't matter so why should I care what they think? I need to understand that what they say doesn't matter. What matters is my true friends and myself. God sees me perfect. So why can't I see that? I am a child of the Creator. The person who came down and died for us. The Man who can see me perfect after all the things I've done. Why can I see beauty in him, and not me? I am trying to see beauty in myself again, but I don't see how I will. I live for other people, when someone tells me I shouldn't wear a certain jacket or a certain type of shirt or something like that, I'll stop wearing it because apparently I looked bad in it. I need to stop caring what other people think, because one day, they won't matter. God is my judge.
