Ever sat down and just thought to yourself ... do I cause so many problems for my parents? am I such a disturbance to have around? Did God put me on this earth for a good reason? Am I going to get anywhere in life?
I've had the chance to think this past weekend and truly realize, well yes God does have a mission for me, if not he wouldn't have put me on this earth. I have a great family who looks after me and they seem to be the handful of people that God couldn't have blessed me more by bringing me into their lives, and theirs into mine :] I have amazing sisters that even though we fight i love them with all i have in me! and my brothers who are so great to me, even my younger one watches after me. My mom and dad for bringing me into this world, my stepdad who's raised me like his own, my stepmom that even if i'm not so close to her she still cares about me, and my grandparents who have never done anything else than just help us out when we need them and even when we don't. :] I have it pretty good ... then i think about those who don't have it nearly as well as i do. And it just breaks my heart.
For example, my sister Dani she just moved here from Chile and she met this young man who's family lives in Columbia and he's all on his own. His mother has cancer and he just got out of a terrible car accident leaving him with a broken shoulder and just alone. God shows me never to take any of what i have for granted, NONE OF IT! He's so great to have given me all of this, and all i can say to Him is Thank you Lord, Thank you so much because without this i couldn't be the person that i am.
Not only has he given me my amazing family, he also gave me Chase and his wonderful family. Which with these past 9 months that have passed i've grown to love them all more and more. They treat me like i've known them all along and they are there when i have problems and they love me. I can go to them when i'm having problems with my family, or school problems, or just problems in general. Like this past weekend i was having problems with my mom and they have been there for me. Especially Chase and his parents, they have been checking on me everyday at work and asking me how things are, and praying for me. I don't know how i can ever say thank you enough because their love for me is just incredible. I don't know how to thank God enough for their love either ... :] i'm just so overwhelmed with love for my life, my family, the Matts and everything else that i have. This includes Meghan and Chris, even though they aren't around i love knowing that i can confide in them when i have no one else to talk to! Meghan especially, i've become so close to her and one of things i enjoy is that we both have a such a great passion for Christ and his teachigns! She's on amazing person whom i look up to in so many ways! Another thing i'm so greatful for is Chase, the love that he's put toward our relationship, the things we have in common and our passion for Christ. It's great, i love that i can talk to him about anything ... he's so good to me! :] Thank you God!!!!
And to my bestfriends ... how can i ever thank y'all enough??
You stick by my side when no one else does, you take my crap on my bad days, you sit here and listen to me just vent out and then you hug me and tell me it's all gonna be alright that God's here for me and so are you guys. Thank you for your love and dedication to our friendships because you guys show me that not everyone can be trusted but when i do trust you it's definitely worth it. :] Chase, Sarah-Anne, John, Leland, Bob, Montine, Ally, & Wes. This one's for you guys.
To those whom i've just met ... you guys are great!
I've had the opportunity to meet some outstanding people this summer, and God's just blessed me so much! At church especially, i've gotten closer to people who can make me smile/laugh/ and just have an all out good time. Ruth, Caitlin, Noel, Mikey, Jonathan, Michelle, Bill, Liz, and Sarah, you guys rock! Keep on loving Christ with all you have, and I join you! :]
:] Today's a great day, enjoy!
God Bless
