Can't escape Gods love

Haven't been on here in a while haha. I have an amazing verse though that I hope really stays in your heart!

Psalm 139
⁷ I can never escape from your Spirit!
    I can never get away from your presence!
⁸ If I go up to heaven, you are there;
    if I go down to the grave,^[a] you are there.
⁹ If I ride the wings of the morning,
    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,
    and your strength will support me.

God is always there. He knows every thought before you even think of it! NEVER too late to turn your life to Christ! He loves you so much. Change your thoughts to wise thoughts.
If you don;t like the way your life is then you HAVE to do something to change, or there will be none; so get off your butt and read your bible and read and try to understand Christ!

How AWESOME God is!

Psalm 66:1-4
Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
²     sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise!
³ Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
⁴ All the earth worships you
    and sings praises to you;
    they sing praises to your name.” 

SING praises to God and SHOUT for Joy. Give him PRAISE and tell him how awesome He truly is. God is SO awesome! Yet we FAIL to do these things daily and through everything we do.

¹⁶ Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
¹⁷ I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on^[a] my tongue.^[b]
18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.
¹⁹ But truly God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!

If you come to hear I will tell you the AWESOME things he has done for my soul!! I wouldn't even know where to start with all the AWESOME things he has done for my soul!! Truly God has listened to my prayers to Him and He was there EVERY second for me and will a.l.w.a.y.s. be there for me!! He HAS NOT rejected my prayer.....and Never will. and He HAS NOT removed his STEADFAST, NEVER ENDING, Love for me......Guess what... HE NEVER WILL! <3

God will ALWAYS be there for you! He is so awesome! We are to give him never ending praise!!!

Keep The Peace

Matthew 5:9  “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.


When you are going through a hard time getting along with someone, really try to remember to keep the peace. If you bring peace the person shall give peace in return instead of anger. If you are angry remember this..

Ephesians 4:26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.

Sometimes when were angry...We do not want to turn to God to help us because we are selfish and stubborn. So then we go and make really stupid decisions because we don't think God can help us.. That is SO wrong. God is the only one who can really help us and soothe us and calm our hearts to help us make peace.

John 14:27  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

The world cannot give us the peace we need. Only God can do that. Let him into your heart to help you. Open up your eyes to see his glory in all things! <3

Romans 14:17 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

2 Corinthians 13:11  Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another,agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.


If you have peace in your heart, You will be able to get along with your day SO much better. Just be sure you are trusting God and letting your heart receive His pace and not the worlds.
Hope this has helped you! Have a great day! =] <3

Get Healthy!!

Okay. Lately ive been reading articles from health magazines and online and I have found plenty of easy ways to stay healthy and get fit for Summer!
Its not that hard at all!
I'm going to start with what to eat then tell you what workouts help.

1. Dont buy candy or any sweets. Control yourself at the grocery store. 
2. Drink lots and lots of water. It helps you digest and stops bloating. Also super good for your skin.
3. Good breakfast can be: Eggs(If you want flavor you can add cheese, or meat. both are filled with protein. You can also add salt. Salt makes you thirsty which will lead you to drinking more water.)   Fruit(Fruit alone is delicious. No need to put whipped cream on berries or caramel on your apples.) Oatmeal (Super good for you. To flavor it substitute sugar for truvia, or spelnda. Or slice some banana or berries. That will flavor it fine.)
4. Try and stay away from bread. If you want a sandwich aim for whole grain breads.
5. Good Lunch can be: Salad(Stay away from sugar filled dressings. You may also flavor it with tomatoes, carrots, ham, or cheese.) Veggie soups(Buy them at the store. They are super cheap and super healthy! Easy to cook over the stove.) Meat(Have a hamburger with whole grain buns and healthy choices for the center. Such as lettuce, Mustard, Tomatoes, etc. Stay away from Ketchup. It is filled with sugar. Stay away from Mayonnaise. Filled with fat.) 
6. If you need something  munch on before dinner have some fruit or a few pieces of veggies.
7. Good dinner can be: so... its hard to make your own meal at dinner time when your mom has already made dinner for the family and stuff. So its fine to eat what she makes. Just use a smaller plate to control how much your taking. 
8. Stop eating 3 hours before bed time. If you need something to munch on eat a small amount of fruits or veggies. 

Now to good workouts. Not many, but still really good for you.

1. Walk/jog for about 20 minutes a day 2 a week at the least.
2. Get a hula hoop! Super good workout around your hips and super easy. get a good 5 minutes of straight hula hooping in 3 times a week.
3. Do about 10 push ups 2 times a day, I go for it when I wake up and then in the evening.
4. While brushing your teeth you can do about 20 lunges. It will work your legs very well and also whiten your teeth! haha
5. Try to do about 20 crunches a day. You can add more when your body can handle more.
6. Believe it or not vaccuming the house is super good for your abbs and arms. It also makes your mom happy!

That's about all I have for you. I hope you try these and I hope it works! =]
Remember that the workouts don't take much time out of your day at all.

Your Heart or Your Mind?

Sometimes........life throws really hard things at you. Things that keep you up all night. Things that change your opinion on things. Things that make you sick to your stomach to think about. Things that may seem like the end of the world.Things that are so horrible there's just about nothing you can do about it except pray.

It's difficult when your put in a situation of wanting to help someone but your clueless on how to.
By the way I said these things it may seem like I have another solution on what to do. But.... I don't... Really all you can do is pray. Its for sure the best thing you can do.

My advice is to never stop praying for that thing. If its in your heart and mind everyday don't give up with it. Just trust God and he will take care of the situation.

I know its hard sometimes when you don't know if you should follow you heart or your mind. Because truly they do say different things to you a lot of the times and it just confuses you and causes stress. I myself follow my heart more because I feel the mind can be deceiving sometimes.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
I look at life as surfing sometimes.... When your on your board in the water you have to paddle or you wont get anywhere, you will only be carried by the current to an area you don't wanna be. If you fall off your board you HAVE to get back up!! You have to try again. You have to give it your all.  Don't let a couple waves defeat you! My point of this is just to never stop trusting God and keep praying and keep trying your hardest! <3

Delta Spirit Adventure...

My Delta Spirit adventure
on June 3^rd 2012. This was my very first huge concert. I have been to small concerts before, but nothing as huge as last night. Me, Ellie, and Josh arrived to the Galaxy around 6:00PM! After a few minutes Josh decided to go to 7-11 so me and Ellie sat in our parking spot. 5 minutes later a car pulls up right next to us and parks, and then all these big huge men step out with black shirts that said “MASSIVE SECURITY” and me and Ellie were laughing so hard! When josh got back we all went to wait in line for when doors opened at 7:00PM. After we got in me and Josh ran to the very front of the concert and got our spots! It was SO packed in there after a few minutes! I finally saw Jenny, and I ran up to Jenny(childhood friend), and James(her older brother) and we were all getting our spots! About 30 minutes before the Hindu Pirates started Ellie came up to me and told me that when the Hindu Pirates started they were going to start a HUGE mosh pit and she told me to stay away and be careful! When the Hindu Pirates came on they went CRAZY! I looked over at them and I see Ellie and Hillary(Ellie's friend) on someone guy’s shoulders waving their arms back and forth screaming! It was so amazing!  Everything was SO crazy that I got pushed away from Jenny and hit these girls and I kept apologizing and we were all laughing having a blast! I hung out with them for a little bit then I was going to try and find Ellie and the girls were warning me not to go in the mosh pit and I laughed then got thrown into the mosh pit and made my way through to Ellie and she screamed and said “OH MY GOSH! HOW DID YOU GET HERE?” and she pinned me against the wall to protect me and I was laughing so hard! After the song ended the band announced that the next song would be slow and to grab a girl and Ellie left me and ran to Moses and everyone was pairing up so I just ran to find my way back to Jenny!  I ran over I couldn’t get to Jenny but I made it back to the girls I had met before and I was dancing with them! After that had happened I made my way back to Jenny and James and I grabbed on to the railing for my dear life! After the Hindu Pirates finished Tony the bass play takes off his guitar and FRONT FLIPS into the crowd! It was insane!! I ALMOST caught him but I missed! It was so cool though! When they finished The Tijuana Panthers came on stage and started playing and it was so righteous! While I was being pressed against the very front of the railing I look to my side and see this little boy who looked like 11 or 12 and all of a sudden I see these arms from nowhere come around his waist and his eyes popped out of his head like he just saw a ghost and he started screaming and he was yanked threw all these people into the mosh pit and I SCREAMED so loud and grabbed Jenny’s arm and slapped it on the railing and she was holding on to the top of my hand and with all the sweat she was slipping and her nails were digging into my skin and I put my arm around her waist and spread my legs out to block everyone around us so she wouldn’t get hurt! The Tijuana Panthers played their music for a super long time and it was awesome. When they finished the crew was setting the stage for Delta Spirit and I got a hair band from Jenny and tried to put my hair up and I got just feel all the dreads in my hair! It was HORRIBLE! After like 10 minutes the whole crowd started yelling for the band to come out and then 40 minutes late they finally came on. The crowd went wild! The second they started playing a HUGE mosh pit started and Jenny looked like she was in tears and she was hyperventilating and freaking out! She told her brother she wanted to leave so then he disappeared and she was freaking out even more because we were stuck there and we were being pushed all over and Jenny was in tears! Then a horrible girl comes over trying to shove us out of the way and I punched her in the stomach like 20 times and kicked her a bunch of times telling her to back off and I pushed her over and me and Jenny got our spots back and she was holding my hand on the railing. As she was trying to hold on to my hand the song "Bushwick Blues" comes on and the lyrics are "Hold on to my hands, never let go, never let go" and we couldn't stop laughing because that song was at the perfect time! We kept getting pressed up against the people in front of us and we kept apologizing and they were laughing saying it was fine and everyone one in our circle was apologizing to each other trying to keep each other safe. Later Jenny was still freaking out saying she wanted to leave and I swear Josh comes out of nowhere making his way through the crowd perfectly asking me if I was okay and I just looked up at him and said “HELP US!” and BOOM! He beat the crud out of everyone around us like a football player and was blocking anyone trying to get in our way and stuff. He was holding the mosh pit of hitting us and he was getting beat up protecting us and I felt SO bad for him but so grateful! God sent him at the PERFECT time! After he came and started protecting us I could actually enjoy the concert! I was like COVERED in sweat at this point! hahah it was so gross!When I started to enjoy the concert even more I closed my eyes and…. this will sound weird, but I could feel the music inside of me. It felt like it was going through my body and I was so happy at that moment. Although Jenny was freaking out because her brother disappeared she seemed to enjoy it too. A minute later she realized he had her phone so she ripped it out of her purse and had a few texts from her brother and it said “I’m standing in the back you can stay up there. Be careful little missy!” and she felt so much better then we partied!! SO many crowd surfers it was SO radical! There was this one guy that got to the front stood up and jumped off the stage and ALMOST hit me and Jenny but Josh gets over to him and grabs him and throws him over a bunch of people then this girl grabs Josh’s arm and said “Thank you SO much!! You’re so amazing!!” and Josh laughed and said you’re welcome! Insanely 3 minutes later another crowd surfer comes and its Hillary!  She was smiling like she was on top of the world! The second she got close to us Josh went over and pushed her towards the other way but she just came back somehow so Josh goes over and lifts her up and puts her like over the fence by the photographers and she was just laughing so hard and then the security came over and kicked her out of the photographers spots! I was enjoying the show so much practically guarding Jenny so she could take pictures! I looked towards the top of the stage and the Hindu Pirates were peeking out the curtains waving at everyone! It was so funny! After a while I just let go and started dancing my heart out and screaming the words to the songs and then Matt Vasquez from Delta spirit got SO CLOSE to us I could almost touch him and I was like almost in tears! Soon after the crowd calmed down a little I was able to get my phone out and take pictures and I got really good ones! I then put my phone away just to take pleasure in the rest of the night! When Delta spirit finished I was so upset and they all ran off stage and the entire crowd was yelling “ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!” and the band came back out and they were all sweaty and gross and they started playing "Trashcan" my most FAVORITE song and I started jumping up and down screaming my head off and Josh was just laughing at me so hard! I was going INSANE! It was so gnarly!

About to jump <3

I was singing my dear heart out!!  As soon as that song ended Matt Vasquez jumped off the stage RIGHT ON ME and I FREAKED OUT and I looked at Josh and his eyes popped out of his head like a kid in a candy store and he RAN over to him and patted him on the back and I stepped over and grabbed his arm and cried!! After the show really ended the place pretty much cleared and everyone that was left was yelling at the workers on stage to throw us the water bottles and guitar picks and stuff and they were throwing the picks to the crowd and the lineup list and everyone thought they were done so they backed off and I jumped up on the railing and yelled at the worker and asked him to give me Matt Vasquez’s water bottle! He picked it up and handed it to me and I SCREAMED and cried and then I yelled at the guy again and asked him for the music line up and he picked it up and asked me if I wanted it and I was all like “YES!” and he fake threw it to me and threw it into the circle of girls and I was like “Oh shoot! I’m never going to get that!” and it started falling towards me and I elbowed a girl in the face and ripped it out of her hands and ran and I got it!!! I felt a little bad for hitting her but not really! hahahhahha!  

Ellie and I went outside after to wait for Casey and we were just talking with Ellie’s friends and then all of a sudden the bass player of Delta Spirit walks out and says hi to all of us and I nearly fainted! As we were waiting for Casey I asked Ellie if she could get the band to sign my ticket so she called Casey and had him go back and get the band to sign my ticket!! SO insanely awesome!!! Casey also gave me then pen that they used to sign it!! After all that amazingness Me, Gabby, Ellie, and Casey went to go back stage and the "MASSIVE SECURITY" guy asked Casey if we were all with him and Casey misunderstood him and said “Yeah they’re all over 21” and The MS was like “What? I said are they all with you?” and Casey said “Ohh! Yeah they are! This is my girlfriend, her little sister, and her best friend” and the MS said “Okay.. that might not be okay but we will see!” and we were laughing and we walked in and the band was standing like right there  and I saw they’re beautiful faces! It was so much fun being able to be back stage with them all!  

I was so tired though and it was like 12:30AM already so we headed home and I took pictures of all my “prizes” and I washed the smell beer and sweat off me and slept peacefully! 

In the morning Casey came over and I talked to him and he told me that after the show ended and they were throwing things off the stage him and the rest of his band was watching and they saw the stage worker throw off the line up list in the crowd of girls and they were like “Wow! Oh my gosh that’s insane! Those girls are going to die!” then saw a girl get hit down and then saw me jump out of the circle and wave it in the air and they were like “Wow! Oh my gosh! Hahah that’s insane!” and Casey was like “You guys!! That’s Ellie’s little sister!!” hahahahh! It was so funny!! Wish they had videoed it!! Best night of my dear life!I love Delta Spirit!! <3 <3 <3

Hard times.

Well. 
I have been learning so much lately. I have been learning just by the advice from my friends and by the advice I give them! Its actually very interesting the way you can have something in your head but you dont really hear it until you say it with heart and truth behind it. 

The first thing I have been learning is, Live as if there is NO tomorrow. If you really think about it, how would your life be different if you acted like this? You see, a few weeks ago I had a sudden feeling that....there was going to be no tomorrow. It scared me so much. I felt like I had no time to fix anything. The first thing I did was text the people I loved and maybe wasnt even getting along with at the time. I texted them how much I loved them. I texted them how much they ment to me and I reminded them to pass it on. I had this feeling for 2 WHOLE weeks. Those 2 weeks really taught me a lot and meant a lot to me. 



The second thing I have been learning is, Not to fight...If you think of your best friend.... Think of how much you love them. You may get in a fight with them and be angry at them for 3 days a week or more, and what I have been learning is attached to live life as if there was no tomorrow. If you are in the middle of a fight with someone you love, just remember, in about a week you guys will be as happy as ever together. You are honestly wasting time being mad, Ignoring them, Hating on them, Being rude to them because you dont/didnt get your way! Cherish your moments with the ones you love....you NEVER know how much time you have left! 

and

The third thing I have been learning is, You are ****ALWAYS**** SO MUCH better than you deserve. Even when you feel terrible and it is like the end of the world.. No matter how stressful stuff may be. For example when I have a HUGE headache that is killing me I just always think that Valerie has it worse! I should be REJOICING 24/7 when I dont feel good that I am SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER than I deserve.
 

 That's about it from what i have really learned!  


PLEASE pray for Valeries head. It is so bad. It gets bad to the point of her just crying on the ground. I cannot stand seeing her like that. It litterally breaks my heart. It is so sad. She is really stressed out with this and she cant eat anything because it hurts her head to move her mouth. She can barely walk and it just brings me to tears. I do feel so weak crying and I also feel guilty eating food around her just knowing she cant eat it..maybe the word isnt guilty.... maybe just... well it just feels wrong. kinda like if your sibling got something you have been wanting SO BADLY for SO LONG and they just came and used it right infornt of your face when they know you cant have it. Thats the wrong I feel.... Just please be praying for her! maybe write her a letter about how you are praying for her and how much you love her. Thanks. ♥♥♥
