day 11 - a picture of something i hate

easy, texting. i do think that texting has it's benefits, but it's gotten way out of control. it really gets under my skin when people can't keep their hands off their phone for 10 minutes. get a life!!!

if people are going to sit and text back and forth constantly, "just call them". i have used texting to send someone a quick message, but if you're going to have a whole conversation with them, it really is better to call.

i think the reason it really annoys me is because i always seem to have a problem with it in the worst of places (where texting is totally unnecessary): a movie theatre and school.

so, day 11 - a picture of something i hate: texting

so many problems

...yet so many great people

i just came to a great realization last night. we all know that there are a bunch of horrible things going on this world, and there are so many organizations all asking for your help, time, money, etc. the problem is, you want to help each one of these organizations, but you don't have the time or the money to donate to each and every one.

 well, i was on the internet last night, and i was reading about yet another organization asking for help. and this thought came across my mind, i'm thinking "who do i support, who do i help?"

well, first off, you can help every organization through

prayer. every time you think of a problem in this world, just stop and pray for them a minute. it's easy, and you'll feel like you've helped. secondly, you can specifically help out one or two organizations that are really close to your heart.

i have two things very dear and near to me, the first is my love for animals. because i love animals, i hate animal abuse, and all animal abusers. i don't understand why people think it's okay to abuse animals, or abuse in general. so, i love the SPCA organization. this organization rescues abused animals, and finds a home for them. (they're the ones that have that really sad commercial with sarah mclachlan, that always make you cry).

the second thing is adoption, and adoption advocacy. so, i love the Show Hope foundation. they are a really great agency that Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife started after adopting their daughter Shaohannah from China. this agency gives financial grants to people who want to adopt, but cannot afford it. they also help you with every step of the adoption process. (click on the banner on the right side of my blog to learn more about them). Show Hope has given so many people the option to adopt because they now have financial help they needed. they also have a prayer calendar on their website that you can use to pray for different things each day. they also organize mission trips throughout the year that people may go on. Show Hope has made a difference in so many people's lives.

so, these two organizations are very important to me, and it makes it so much easier to give my support to each organization. and, because each of them support something i really care about. hopefully you found this as helpful as i did.

there is a God

...and our God is for real

how can you say there is no God when you look outside and see the beauty of his creation? my pastor showed this video at the end of his sermon in church this morning. it really amazed me. so prepared to be amazed.

There is a God, and our God is for real.

and the blog 30 day challenge continues

day 10 - a picture of the person you do the most messed up/crazy things with

i do a lot of crazy stuff in general, but they generally happen mostly with my best friend, kristin. through thick and thin, we're always there for eachother. and although we may be serious at times (well, almost never), every one of our conversations ends in us laughing hysterically. every time we see eachother, crazy things are going to happen, no matter what.

so, the person i do the most crazy things with: kristin

(this pic is from almost 2 yrs. ago at a corn maze with youth group. as you can see, it got a lil' bit crazy)

blessings (cont...)

so yesterday i wrote about counting your blessings. today is a continuation from that, but with a different song. can you guess who might the artist might be?

brad paisley! anyways, he has a song on his new cd called "one of those lives". it talks about how people say "it's just been one of those days", but then it goes to say that we have no right to complain because for some it's one of those lives. 

our lives are something we always take for granted, and we need to remember that somewhere out there, somebody else has it worse than you. so, everybody has trials and hardships, and bad days, but it could be worse.

we also need to remember that, there is somebody who is thinking of you (unless you are above everyone else on this earth). if you are praying for those who don't have it as good as you do, somebody else who has it better than you is also praying for others.

so, count your blessings, pray for others, and you will be blessed.

blessings

well, not much to write about this, but...

laura story's latest song "blessings" just started to get to me. so, i decided to blog a bit about it. it's all about how we all have trials and hardships in life, but God can give us blessings through those trials. 

i found a movie for this song, so i'll let the song do the rest of the job.

always count your blessings in life, especially during those times when you feel there is none, and you will see how much you really are blessed.
