Do not be afraid to feel.

So, you should watch this, it's pretty awesome: http://180movie.com/
(There are graphic images of the holocaust)

 Also, unfortunately I do not appear to have very much time for blogging, so I probably won't be posting much. But maybe I will. Haha.

 Blogging for just a short while served it's purpose. I have been thinking more positively and been more aware of the many blessings that Christ has bestowed upon me.

Courage

"We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise"

My test today is courage, to pray for blessings in whatever shape and size they might come. To pray for growth even if it causes great pain. To even pray for blessings for my family, though it might hurt. The beautiful part of this is to rest, knowing His blessings truly are *blessings*. Knowing He can bring me through it, and purify my soul. 


Praying for the Bhem's today, if anyone is reading this please take a few moments to pray for them too.

 Lord, please give the Behm's rest, they have been heavily tested. Open Your arms wide with comfort I pray. I pray You would show Your love for them daily and give them strength to carry on, every moment of the day, through every trial, the little and the big. I thank you so much for them.

35. Seeing old friends.
It's sure one of the joys of life. I just got to hang out with someone I've known for forever it seems. Haven't seen him for years. We didn't have to talk, we just worked together on a project and it seemed like old times.

   You know that feeling, when it seems like you really could start flying? I usually get it when I am in awe of God's creation. Yesterday I climbed up to the very tip top of a tall tree. Everything looks different from up there!! I listened to Christian music on my I-pod and sang along. The wind was really blowing the tree around and..it was amazing. I feel so blessed to have the time and the opportunity to do things like that.

I'm starting to think that I have Lyme; it's been tough. I try, try, *try* to keep up a joyful attitude when my mind gets all confused and everything seems louder than it should and my brain freaks out. It's hard, and I feel terrible when I lose control of myself. I tell myself that I'll do better next time, but...will I?
 God never said "obey my commands when it's easy".
