Love At First Sight!

Today,as many are well aware, that it is Valentine's Day. Yay!Not really. I was totally bummed out the whole entire day. Life lesson #3254 ALWAYS remember what Christ did for you. Instead of soaking into my self pitty I should have been thanking and praising the one who made true love. The best love story in the world is found through Jesus Christ. He was beaten and killed for our sins. Love! I understand why He did it. Our earthly things, a few nails and some wood, killed the one was loving and still is.

If it was not for God giving His son to the world to die on the cross for you and me and the next guy, what would we do in our society. I opened my eyes today, took out the plank of wood, and fixed my eyes on the only true love story. I believe in love... because God gave me just that.

I love Jesus, not just on Valentine's but every single day!

P.S. I hope everything had a great Valentine's day!

<3 love you all!

Flossing!

I have a confession. I always forget to floss. It hurts and is very difficult to remember to do it. I am not talking about flossing my teeth I am talking about spiritually. I cannot remember the last time I spiritually flossed. What is spiritually flossing you may ask. Well to break it down for you it is when a person that follows Christ flosses all the bad out of their life. It takes courage to break out from the crowds and be a purely white for Jesus. We, as followers of Christ, need to floss out the bad. Sometimes it may be difficult to separate from the worldly things but with God anyone can do it. Let’s stand up and take apart of the flossing revolution so we that can help someone else out.

And always remember that God loves you!

Miracles in a lighthouse!

These past few weeks I have been living in a dark tunnel filled with problems and attacks every which way from Satan. I realized something when I was going through this tunnel … everyone has a lighthouse. I know sometimes I repeat myself over and over again but this is a point that needs to be heard. Jesus is my lighthouse. Not only does He provide comfort but He is the light in this dark scary world. I feel so relieved to be back in His arms and I am so happy. I love the fact that His light shines so bright that you can see it from far away…a lighthouse does the same thing. It has been a miracle to be alive and with Him. Not only to have His divine love 24/7 but to have Him walk with you in every situation whether it is good or bad is what my father does for me. He shows me the light in this darkness. Close your eyes for a few minutes and forget about all of your worries then breathe. It feels good to just feel free and relieved. God loves you so much and when you are with Him you can feel that way. He will never leave you nor forsake you. That is why I will be a light for Christ on this earth. I want to share the good news with everyone and I am going to stop hiding it. Just think Jesus is YOUR miracle in a lighthouse!

Matthew 5:15
“"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.”

NEVER AGAIN

I have NEVER cried so much in my whole entire life!
I have NEVER felt so alone in my whole entire life!
I have NEVER been so hurt in my whole entire life.

I feel so unloved lately. This past week has been one of the hardest weeks. It has been full of every emotion in the world. It was filled with rejection and pain that doesn't go away. I just want to be back to normal.

Have you ever had a terrible day? I feel like that all week long.

Jesus went through all types of emotions....and He still made His worst day His best day.

Instead of feeling sorry for myself because of a weeks worth of bad days I need to stand up and thank Jesus. I need to stop making my worst days, my worst days. I am going to make everyday an opportunity to be the BEST day that I have ever lived.

A bad day will no longer bring me down!

Stop questing Him and start thanking Him

Dear Avonlea,
I know that you do not understand what is going on in your life but trust me God has a plan. Someday it will all make sense to you. When the bad times come why do you question Him? Instead of questioning Him, why don't you thank Him. I know it sounds hard to do but He is with you forever and always. You see that Gods love is so divine that He loves you through the good times and the bad ones. You need to trust in God with all your heart, mind and soul. God knows your heart and will guide you through every situation. Thank Him for everything in your life. For He is the one that catches your tears, know how many hairs are on your head and loves you because you are His child. Do not give up and remember to thank Him for everything because without Him you wouldn't have anything.

Love,
Avonlea

You are better than that!

We live in a world where everything is a reality. It is reality when you wake up in the morning and realize that you have to go to work or school or something else that takes up your time. Its reality.

One of the best comments that I have ever heard is when a good friend of mine told me that I am better than that!

Wow. Talk about a slap in the face. It was when I met reality face to face. It was hard to cope with at first but then I started thinking. I am really appreciative that my friend told me this because…

-I am better than the lies that are spoken to me from the world.

-I am better than the troubles that make me stubble.

-I am better than the hurt that endure.

-I am better than the way I look at myself.


See, even though I go through hard times and troubles I can be successful at whatever I do because I am better than that. The only way this became possible was when I realized what I am. Fact I am human but I am also made in Gods image. I am His creation. What an honor it is. I am pleased to tell you that you are the same way, Gods creation. He loves you so much. It is true that we come face to face with reality everyday but remember no matter what it is YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT!

In this storm, God is my umbrella.

I have been through a lot these last few days but the one thing that gets me through is knowing that I have a Father that holds my hand through it all. I have realized that no matter what I go through Jesus went through it first. I know that Jesus has been through things worse than what I will ever encounter. That cheers me up knowing that Jesus can relate to me.

Yesterday I got all four of my wisdom teeth out. I am so blessed to have an oppornity like this. Not only was I blessed to have the fincial needs but to be put to sleep throught the whole thing. You see even though it hurts I think of it as blessed time. I know God was holding my hand the whole time. For the first time I wasn't scared of the unknown.

Lets go back to Christmas this year. I was very sad even though a lot of people didn't know. I am sad because I don't have grandparents. All of my friends or atleast most of them talked about how their grandparents came over. I just wish for that. You see it has been ten years since my two grandfathers died. I miss them so much! I get sad inside. But then I remember that I should be happy for the family that I have now. I have the best family who care and love me for who I am. God blessed me with an amazing family.

No matter what you are going through God is holding your hand through it. Keep your chin up Because you are beautiful.

1 John 3:16
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."
