Love is not a fight

Love is not a place

To come and go as we please

It's a house we enter in

And then commit to never leave

Lock the door behind you

Throw away the key

We'll work it out together

Let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter in the raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

If we try to leave, may God send His angels to guard the door

No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word
That they can fall into

But when they're falling out

Keeping that word is hard to do

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call

He will ask nothing from us

But demand we give our all

I will fight for you

Would you fight for me?

It's worth fighting for

Today, I'm praying for all those who are struggling in their marriages and those who just want to give up! I also pray for those whose hearts that have been broken, may God give them renewed strength to begin their new life. I love this song and to me it means that when you make a commitment let nothing tear you apart. I also see how much God gives and gives. He loves and loves unconditionally! Does it break your heart when you see people whose heart doesn't belong to God? I want to see them in Heaven one day! I know God has given me renewed strength to spread His word. I'm super excited about my trip to Haiti. I have truly felt that this trip will change my life! I'm so ready to jump in to whatever He has planned for me. Over this past year God has been working in me! I'm sick of my "lukewarm" living!! I'm sick of always worrying. I need to fully rely on God!

I'm going to try and post some pictures from this weekend!

We celebrated Britt's birthday on Friday night, with a trip to Bobes, and Cake and ice cream @ her house! :)

Happy 20th Birthday Brittany!!

I don't know where to begin. My heart has been in so many places this week. I've been in my room for hours trying to catch up on a weeks worth of homework,tests, and quizzes that I missed last week. I couldn't concentrate. My mind was off daydreaming. I started thinking about our trip to Haiti this summer and the team that we're going with. I'm excited! My next subject of thought was the BACHELOR!!! I'm totally addicted to this show and so are some my girls!! Ok, so I've been thinking about this show all day looonnggg!! It was so good last night and we have to wait two WHOLE weeks before we will know who wins! Of course, we all want Melissa to win! ;) I know it's stupid but this show is a MUST and it's driving me crazy that I don't know who the winner is!!
Today, is also Brittany's 20th birthday! Today is probably the toughest birthday for her and all I want to do is wrap my arms around her and never let her go! I know her daddy is smiling down at her, proud of everything she has and will accomplish. Sometimes I just don't know what to say. My heart hurts because I know they still struggle each and every day. Some days I think to myself why am I crying? I never in a million years thought I would be this emotional. So this is what I have to say to my best friend and cousin you could ask for! You are the strongest person I've ever met. Each day you bless so many people. I pray that today God gives you strength to go about your day and enjoy this birthday I'm sure it's one you'll never forget! You know that my only regret about coming home this year is that I can't be by your side when you need someone, but I do pray and think about you ALL the time. I know we haven't been as close these past couple of months but I do know it's hard and hopefully you always remember that I'm not going anywhere! :) Love you always! :)
New subject :) I made plans to go to Huntsville, AL in a couple of weeks to visit my aunt who is driving up from Mississippi and were gonna meet half way. We are going to have a girls weekend and do some "retail therapy." Yep, you heard me I'm going to shop, shop, and shop some more! :) I can't wait!
Well I'm gonna go for now but I'll try and get better at updating!
Love you all,
Keep looking up! :)

With all my heart...

Wow.. I'm so behind. I've been tagged in two blog addictions and I haven't even had time to do either one of them. O well I'm sure I'll get around to them at one point!
Here's what's on my mind lately and I finally can share it with you! For the past few months I've been considering taking a leap of faith and doing something that I've never done. With many prayers and getting it cleared with my doctor(skin dr), I'm heading to Haiti in June for some mission work. I've always wanted to do something like this but never knew if I "could" do it. I'm so use to my lifestyle and my daily routine. After all that has happened throughout last year, I came to realize that I'm truly blessed. God gives me everything I'll ever need, so why not go a help those in need? I'm going with some girls that have truly inspired me and with help from God, I've signed up and paid my first deposit. No turning back now, and I don't want to. Last night me and Steph talking about how God influenced us in our decisions. She was saying how in church that day they were talking about a verse(Isaiah 6:8) and she knew it was meant for her to hear. I shared that in our church that morning we sang "I will SERVE you Lord with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and all my STRENGTH." I felt like He was telling me it's time to do things for others, step out of my comfort zone and share His love with others. So, I will serve Him with all of my heart! I'm totally amazed at the way God works in my life as well as my friends'. He has truly blessed me with these friends that are going to take this journey with me! God Bless them! If I may ask for one thing, please pray for us! We are going to need many prayers in order for this trip to work out! We are going with New Hope Christian Church in Washington!
I have some birthday wishes I want to mention.. Happy Birthday Garrett R. Jan 27, Aunt Jackie Jan 31, Parker Feb 1(whose 7, can you believe that) Brittany D. Feb 3 and TODAY is Steph's 20th Birthday and I have a surprise for her tonight at Bachelor Night! :) WO WO! We're totally addicted to that show!
Anyways, not much else has changed. I enjoyed not having to come to school a couple days last week. I did go to Evansville on Tuesday for a Dr. appt.(not the smartest idea) and made it home safely.
Well I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Keep looking up and God Bless! :)
