the dream

I DREAM BIG,

BECAUSE

MY GOD

IS CAPABLE OF

BIG THINGS!

the unexpected

Things can change so quickly, but you have to learn to embrace the unexpected. You have to. Otherwise you will live a life of panic and fear. Who wants to live like that!? Not me. If things change, let them. Something wonderful could come out in the end.

I will keep my head high and hope for the best. I will stay strong in who I am -- and hope my strength will rub off on the people around me, so we can be strong for each other. I believe trials and hardships are a part of life. The true test is if you can rise again after the fall.

Take my hand and look into my eyes and even though I hate goodbyes, they don't have to be forever. You're still there and I'm still here, but if you need a friendly face you can count on me to be there for you, still smiling.

Just because you feel lost doesn't mean I'm not willing to lead. There is a light shining down on you and I, it's leading the way to promises. The kind of promises that can't be broken and the kind of hope that only comes from faith.

the priceless moments

priceless

the sleepless nights

have you ever lost sleep? precious hours of sleep...because you couldn't stop...thinking?

my impatient mind couldn't stop running.

thinking about nothing in particular...just thinking.

I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't stop fidgeting.

my constant stirring became restless rocking.

then I tried to rock myself to sleep.

I tried to shut my eyes but it didn't take long before they would open...

looking franticly for something...anything to distract my mind from its thinking.

the night

remember the night when we sat on the rooftop

when we serenaded the silence and watched the street lights burning

remember the night when we slept on a mountain top

when we danced in a parking lot and watched the stars until they faded away

the good memories are hard to forget and the best memories are forever indented in my memory.

the moments that take your breath away

There is something tranquil and serene about this place. So much beauty and life. It is definitely a spiritual experience to be here in the crisp mountain air, beneath the radiant sun that shines so bright and strong. There is so much wildlife and nature that surrounds you. It is easy to forget about the hustle and bustle of the world outside of this quaint valley. I am surrounded by tall trees and fascinating rock formations. The sight is definitely worth seeing, because it is hard to doubt that the presence of the Lord is alive here.

the time

time move slowly

i can hardly keep up

Sometimes we feel like it is easy to risk time.

We don't cherish it. We challenge it.

We say to ourselves "I will get there when I get there", "I've got all the time in the world", etc.

We don't realize that seconds are what can make all the difference.

We might not realize how much we risk when we risk our time.

Times is something you can never get back.

Once it is gone...it is gone forever.

We have to use our time wisely...because really it is all we have.

We should want to take advantage of each and every second, every hour, every day.

These moments are precious gifts from God. He is the one who gives us our next breath.

Don't miss your chance to seize the day!
