You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?

People who say that they are going to do one thing and do another really bugs the crap out of me. Especially when they deny saying it in the first place. Do you ever feel like the person that you think you can trust the most is full of bull crap? Its okay if you do, because i have felt that way before. Its like that person has two different personalities. On one side they are so sweet and caring, they act like all they want is to make you happy. Then there's the other side, the evil side if you will. The side where they act like a big fat jerk and deny everything that they said before because they are scared.

Lies were like acid, corrosive: They could dissolve trust in a heartbeat.
- Rob Thurman

I absolutely cannot stand people that lie. What makes me really mad is that they lie to you about something that means a lot to you and something that you have been looking forward to sharing with that person, but i will say this, i am completely done with liars. They are a waste of my time and energy and im not going to do it anymore. So for all of you reading this if you have someone in your life that continues to lie to you and decieve you, first pray about it, God knows what your going through. I've prayed about this liar for far to long and im done now.

Take a deep breath...

Deep breathing is good for the soul, atleast i think so. Now im not saying that if you are stressed you need to go enroll yourself in some sort of deep breathing yoga class to make your stress away. Mainly because i am a college student and we college kids have zero money. Instead find someone you are close with to talk to about what is stressing you out. Whether it be a big test thats coming up, boy troubles, or family issues, im sure that person has went through something similar to what your going through at the moment.

~ Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose. ~
- Maureen Killoran

I have had a lot of unnecessary stress in my life that shouldn't have been there. I let certain things that are really stupid get to me pretty easily, then i end up stressing over the little things. Stress for me is another way the devil tempts us. He is saying that we should focus all our attention on this certain thing and spend so much time on it that it makes us forget about God for a little bit. If we all take our problems to God that won't happen. He is there for a reason, He always listens, and He always delivers. Keep your heart, mind, and soul on Him and your life will be complete!

You've got a friend in me :D

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
- Walter Winchell

Friendship, what to say about this subject? It can be a number of things, whether it be between a group of people, between a boy and a girl, or just yourself and one other person. I didn't know the true meaning of friendship until I came to college. I have met some of the most amazing people here and they have changed my life already. Honestly i feel like i have know each and everyone of them my whole life. friends are not normal haha, but thats what i love most about them! Each of them are unique in their own way. If i had enough time i would list all of their names and tell you about each of them, but i am going to focus on the two that are closest to me and that i spend the most time with. So here we go :)

Johanna Kraynak:
This girl is one of the most craziest people i have ever met in my entire life, and i have met my fair share of crazies! Johanna is definitely one of my best friends because i know that if i ever have a crisis of some sort she will be there to help me through it. I had the pleasure of meeting Johanna on a whim at Breakaway. I was standing in the PSU with another one of my friends that i had just recently met, so we were just standing there awkawardly because we had just met. Johanna comes up to us and is like sooo this is really awkaward how they just threw us all together in this room huh. I think God brought Johanna into my life because He knew that i needed to branch out and become less shy, and im here to tell you that i have accomplished that in some way. Johanna is one of those people where when you first meet her your like this girl is nuts, but when you really get to know her she is such an amazing person.

Ericka DeHaven:
I met Ericka through Johanna actually and i thank God everyday for that. Ericka is one of the most amazing people i have ever met in my life. She is inspires me to become a better person. We are similar in many ways that it is scary, and i think thats why we are such good friends. She is one of my best friends also. She makes me laugh all the time, and not just like haha laughing. Its like rolling on the floor, peeing in your pants kind of laughing! We love to play pranks on Johanna, because her reactions to what we do are priceless. I don't know what i would do without Ericka. I know God brought her into my life, because he knew that i needed someone that i could talk to about anything and someone that i could trust with my life, and Ericka is that person. I can trust her with anything and know that she will not judge me.

I don't thank God enough for bring these two amazing people into my life. They make my life more eventful, in a good way. As Johanna said just last night, "We're the three best friends that anyone could have!"  Love you girls so much!

Yes, we are doing the creep ;)

For you say if i will come and pray to you...

The title of this blog are some of the lyrics
to one of my favorite songs by Rebecca St.
James. If you haven't listened to her music
you need to check it out because it is some
of the most inspirational words that i have
ever heard in my life.

Prayer is a powerful thing. Everyone says so,
at times i have a hard time believing that,
because i pray for something and i feel like
nothing happens. When something happens
in my life and i feel like i can't do anything i
get really angry. I go to other people and tell
them about the situation, and they always say
just pray about it.

Prayer can sometimes feel like you aren't doing any-
thing at all because you don't get an answer right away, or
the situaiton you are praying about doesn't end up the
way you wanted it to. You feel like all you are doing is
talking about the situation, not exactly doing anything
about it. I have felt this way many times.

All you have to do is let go and let God. Its hard to do
sometimes, but you just have to do it. God is in control, he
always is and always will be. I encourage everyone to let
God be in control of your life, because He knows what He
is doing.

A Broken World

Now before you jump to conclusions about my poem it is suppose to be written this way. Its a sarcastic poem.

Murder, stealing, adultery have no fault
Selfishness is th motto of this world
No God in school makes all things right
Teens drink and drive in the dead of night.
No Religion Equals a Good World!

Little baby don't cry, your mother still
loves you though you will see no light.
No miracles they say, it's all just pure
luck. Missionaries are just story-tellers,
filling our heads with a bunch of yuck.
No Religion Equals a Good World!

One nation under us is the worlds true pledge,
our selfishness is heard from near and far.
God is not real most people say,
Our world was created from an explosion one day.
No Religion Equals a Good World!

A man and a woman together as one, has
changed to man and man or woman and woman,
 and that's ok. Our world has turned from all pure
 to all gay. No Religion Equals a Good World!

Waiting for a Sign...

Do you ever feel like all you do is wait?

Waiting in line for a movie
Waiting for a stoplight to turn green
Waiting for the school bell to ring at the end of the day
Waiting for someone to call you back
Waiting in the doctors office

It seems like all we do is wait in our lifetime.
I know i've been waiting for my sign from
God for two years about this particular
situation and He finally delievered a few days
ago and i cannot tell you how amazing it
feels to have this off of my shoulders.

People get discouraged when they think that
God isn't listening to their prayers, but He is.
Just because He doesn't answer you right away
doesn't mean that He is ignoring you, it just
means that it isn't the right moment yet.
In the movie Bruce Almighty one scene always
sticks out in my mind more than others.

When Bruce gets in a fight with his girlfriend and
leaves the apartment he goes for a drive. When
he is driving down the road he starts praying and
asking God for a sign. Right after he says that a
big truck pulls out in front of him with all of these
stop signs, caution signs, and yield signs. Bruce
doesn't pay attention to these and ends up driving
into a pole and totaling his car.

Alot of us ignore our sign from God because we are
too busy thinking of other things. Bruce had so many
signs right infront of him and all he had to do was
slow down and actually pay attention. That's the whole 
point of me writing this. I finally slowed down and focused
on what God was trying to tell me. I encourage everyone to
do the same. Just because you don't get your answer the
way you want it and when you want it doesn't mean you
should give up hope. God knows what He's doing and He
will never let you down.
