So thankful I woke up this morning, have a loving family who wants to please God, and that I have legs to walk through God's creation. How much to I take for granted? I have no reason to complain.
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."- Philippians 4:12
The answer is Jesus and knowing His great and overflowing love!
Sometimes I just want to know that there is a man out there that loves me and will forever (besides my dad and other family members). When all the world, it seems, is in a relationship and flaunts the "fun" they have together, its difficult not to get down.
But what about this Jesus? This holy being that came to be a man, because He loves me and forever will. How about His love? That is sufficient for me. Right now, I'm young and need only Jesus and his direction in my life.
No matter what the world tries to tell me, no one person can ever fill that gap.
My love is Jesus.
Thanks for loving me.

It has been a while since I have posted anything, but it's ok! I'm not dead! It's kinda nice not being famous or having a lot of followers. I would hate to have to keep up with all this technology. What's the point of it all? The whole lot of it depends on computers and if they all were destroyed, what would people do with their lives?
People miss the point of life! The ones that have sight don't see the joys that are right in front of their faces! The ones that hear don't even stop to listen to the birds or the laughter of a little one.
"If we all live for something, then we won't die for nothing." That is one of the lines in song sung by Sonic Flood. And how true is it? We sit around in school and at home and waste our lives away.
I feel so suffocated in this American life! I was raised in Benin, West Africa for four and a half years and I was so young I didn't realize the greatness of it all! I wanted so badly to be in America, now I can't wait to get out! I can think of no place I would rather be than in Benin right now.
It's funny. When you grow up a missionary kid, you never really have a home. When I am here, in America, I want sooo badly to be in Benin! But when I'm in Benin, I want to be with my family. Something I want all the time, though, is to further God's kingdom and show everyone His love! That, I can do where ever I am! And I love the Lord for giving me the opportunities I do!
