I just love...

When children mispronounce or mispell words ♥ The sound of uncontrollable laughter ♥ People who are so happy that their joy fills the hearts of everyone in their vicinity ♥ Experiencing beautiful moments, and being able to capture them with my camera, and cherish them forever ♥ The beauty and individuality of every person ♥ Smores ♥ The way everything is funnier when I'm laying down ♥ When I write with a pen and the ink flows smoothly ♥ Wispy white curtains against a sky-blue wall, blowing gently from the soft breezy air ♥ Thank-you letters ♥ True friends ♥ Faith ♥ When I feel needed, and can really help someone ♥ Home-decorating ♥ Hugs ♥ Inspiration ♥ When little kids say they love me, because I know they mean it ♥ Color ♥ People who sacrifice their lives to lead people to God's Kingdom ♥ When boys act like gentlemen ♥ When Christians are BOLD, loving, and sensible with the gifts God has given them ♥ When someone does something kind for someone else, not for anything in return, but truly out of love for the other person ♥ When brothers love their sisters ♥ The people who make anything and everything in life, little or big, an adventure :) ♥ When someone secretly does something kind for someone else ♥ When people believe in me, and have high expectations for me ♥ When time doesn't seem to matter as it passes by ♥ 1 Corinthians 13 ♥ The ability people have to display God's love with a single smile ♥ True love. God's kind of love. Selfless, servant-hearted, sincere love ♥ Being held in my Savior's arm and knowing that He will never let me go. ♥

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

God LOVES you. He has never, will never, and could never take His eyes off of you! He's obsessed with you! He IS true love! The Creator of the universe lives to hear your heartbeat! Doesn't that THRILL you? When you love Him back, He is THRILLED, too :) Think of the people who you love the most in life. Imagine how it would feel if they didn't really love you back. I hear it ALL the time, actually... "I love so and so more than anyone in the world, but they don't even know that I exist!" Lol... imagine if "so and so" DID realize you existed, and not only that, but they LOVED you! HOW happy would that make you feel? God feels that way when we love Him! I know that in my life, there have been many people who I have met who I wanted to be friends with SO badly, and I would have been honored had they even considered me an aquaintance. And oh my gosh, if they would be FRIENDS with me, that would really be too good to be true! Lol. God loves you and me more than words could say. When we love Him back, we bring the biggest smile to His face. For as good as He is, and as much as He loves us, lets love Him back! :)

Have a lovely Valentine's Day, everyone ♥

Any moment, EVERYTHING can change. (Well, almost everything)

It seems like everything changes in this world. Some things change for better, some for worse. No matter how hard I try to prevent the bad changes from happening, they happen anyway. Like friendships falling apart. I try as hard as I can to be a good friend, and I become close friends with people to later watch them fade away. It's heart-breaking!

I've realized that no matter how hard I try, I can't make friendships last forever on this earth. Friendship takes more than just me. Anytime I have ever been hurt by changes like these, there has been someone who I have run to- my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He has given me SO much hope, because He will NEVER leave me. His love is the one consistent thing in the world. He will never, ever fail me, and He is ALWAYS there for me. Even when I totally turn my back on Him, He doesn't leave, and He doesn't love me any less. It makes me SO HAPPY to know that! If there was ANYTHING I could choose to stay consistent in my life, it would be Him. I'm so thankful to have my God!

It has got me thinking... I put so much effort into things of this world that end up fading away. Not only that, but I often put God aside so that I can put all of my attention on things of this world that end up falling apart in the end. Instead of doing that, I should really be putting all of my focus on my relationship with God- the one thing that will last throughout eternity! ♥

God has also given me hope by giving me a couple of friends who I am becoming closer with right now... I'm so thankful for them! Thank you guys so much for being my friends, and showing me that true friendship really can exist! (You know who you are! ;)

Lol, I'm listening to my ipod, and the song that just came on is Into Black by Disciple. That song nearly sums up this post! :)
