10 things that make me smile...

So I decided to write down ten things that make me smile. Enjoy

1) My Family
Whether it be my real related family, my church family or of course my friends they all make me smile. Each one of them are their own individual which brings more joy out of knowing them and building a relationship with them. My sister Keely always makes me smile. She is the first one that I can rely on for a smile. Another great family member is my daddy. He is always telling jokes or doing silly stuff like pushing carts into soda machines at the grocery store. So many outstanding followers of Christ make me smile too. My church family make me smile by being so inspired by God. Their love for God is extremely wonderful but love for others is more amazing. Hands down.My other friends are always there for me which puts a smile on my face. I am happy to have such caring friends.



2)Reading my Bible
Smiling to me is more than a physical reaction that happens on your face when you are happy inside. Its about inspiring others. I love reading my Bible because its the time that I get to grow and connect with Christ. Its also that time I get to spend with the one who created me. It inspires me to go and inspire others.

3)Sunflowers
When I was a little girl I saw a huge field of sunflowers. I thought to myself that would the perfect flower for my wedding someday..I still think that actually. They remind me of my inner child. They are so tall and beautiful. Also dont forget to mention my favorite color...Yellow.

4)Serving others
Serving others isn't just a gift from above,its a lifestyle.A few years ago I realized my passion for caring/serving others when I was watching a show called China Blue. They showed clips of little girls who have to work in these clothing factories with very little food for 23 hours a day. It broke my heart to see eight year girls all the way up to age nineteen being tortured like that.I realized that they need help and even more that there are people in our community who need help.I hope that one day I can go to China to help out the girls.And even more so it would great to help in my community. How great would it be if I could tell them about Christ?

5)The Sun
It shines so bright. It reminds me that God is so powerful and mighty that He can create the sun. It amazing.

6)The Clouds
When you were a kid did you ever sit int the grass staring at the clouds trying to make shapes or people out of them. They are so odd. Just hanging in the sky but yet they let you bring out your imagination.

7)Music
For the last eight years of my life I was apart of the band program at school. It means so much to me to sit on a stage and preform.Its more that attending rehearsal or getting frustrated cause you played the wrong note, its about connecting to the song to make it beautiful for others to listen to.

8)Helping out in the children center at church
I love kids. I love they way they try to figure out stuff on their own and even more seeing them grow up. A lot of the kids are fun to play with and others are too shy but whatever they are....they are all individuals. I love it when they are happy for learning a memory versus or seeing their parents. No matter what they are God gift of joy.

9)Taking pictures
Even though I am not good I still love taking pictures. More or less its about capturing the memories.

10)Singing in the shower and everywhere else
When I was younger I use to sing to the kids group at Crossroads Christain Church. I was amazed about the number of kids that went. I sang in front of at least 100 plus kids. Thats crazy considering how shy I am. But God has a purpose for me and at that time thats what it was. I am so thankful and blessed for it.
