You know your family is weird when....

Ive always known that my family was a little off... and a little strange... but today i was actually quite confused when i walked into the bathroom and saw this...

I must say im still a little confused... and everyone else in my family thinks its funny that i think its weird... which disturbs me the most 0_o

Wishing

Last night i looked  at my clock and it said 11:11. I realized that it had been weeks since i had wished at 11:11, and i used to wish every single night. It was a habit i had... and i just stopped? I realized that my life was better since i stopped wishing at 11:11.... Or maybe i was just looking at it differently... looking at it as more of a gift. I used to wish for things... over and over again.... but obviously, God didn't want me to have those things...they weren't a part of his plan... he had something much better in mind. I would wish and wish for those things, and really hope for those things, and then get discouraged when i didn't get them. I realize how BLESSED i am. God has given me WAY more than i need... but i thought i NEEDED those things i wished for...those people i wished for... So i wish i could write a long long blog post because thats what i feel like doing today... but i have no time. Im just supposed to be printing off my science assignment sheet... and i think my mom will catch on pretty quickly.

So if i do wish any time from now on... ill wish this...

Keep Smiling,

A New Direction

Today at my church we had a prayer room... there were 10 different stations and you would stop at each station and have an activity...  I loved seeing all the scripture and everything, but i really wasnt moved in any way.... till i got to station 9, at least. At station 9 there was a tub of wipes and a sign that read
"NEW DIRECTION:
Take a wipe and clean your hands. Think about all your hands have reached for in the past. Some things brought joy, others pain, and still others probably left you wanting something more. As you clean your hands, clean your mind and challenge yourself to stop reaching out for things for the wrong reasons and start reaching out to God. When you do, you'll discover a new you that is free from the bondage of the world.
Jeremiah 6:16-
This is what the LORD says: "stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."


This really hit home with me... especially since this is what I've been working on for quite some time now... but pretty unsuccessfully. As humans, we reach for things without always thinking... and some bring happiness... but some also bring sorrow. When we reach for things for the wrong reasons... we'll never find what we're looking for, but if we look for things with God number 1 in our hearts... we'll find exactly what we're looking for....
Then there was another sign that said this...

"1. what are the idols in your life that compete against God for your time and attention? Are they more important than your heavenly father?

2. Look back on your life. Do you like what you see or who you've become? Why or why not? If not, what can you do differently from this point forward?"

I challenge you to answer these questions and reflect on jeremiah 6:16.
I hope that this affects you like it's affected me.

Keep smiling,
