In so many ways, Your love has saved the day.

"Don't take much for this crazy world to rob me of my peace
And the enemy of my soul says You're holding out on me
So I stand here lifting empty hands for You to fill me up again."

Ain't that the truth? Let's be honest, this world is not perfect.
We face trials and tribulations every single day.
But we can't let that effect how we live our lives.
We need to learn to sweat the small stuff and laugh it off.

"But it's the time in between, that I fall down to my knees
Waiting on what you'll bring, and the things I can't see
I know my song's incomplete, still I'll sing in the time in between."



Don't be afraid to mess up.
Be goofy.
RELAX.
Take a day and do nothing.
Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you.
Be patient.
Expect and except the unknown.
Be open to new challenges.
Do something nice for a stranger.
Sing your heart out.
Fall in love.
Don't be afraid.
Enjoy the ride.

And last but not least...

Pray.

Even when you think you've hit your final straw. When you think you can't take it anymore. When you feel like giving up is the only choice. When you feel like no one will listen.

He will.

I am a lucky girl. :)

I know I'm going to sound like a broken record when I say this, because I've pretty much mentioned it on every blog I've done, but I don't care.

 I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE THE FRIENDS THAT I DO!!!

Seriously this past week has been a lot of scary ups and downs for me and I can honestly say I would not have been able to get through it without my amazing friends.

There were a few times when I literally thought,

I can't do this anymore. My only choice is to give up.

But here's the awesome thing about my friends, they would NEVER let me do that. I've never met a group of people that have loved and cared for me as much as these people do and literally i'm floored by you all.

I know to those of you who had to coach me through this week were probably a little annoyed with my pessimistic attitude and continuing to see everything in a negative light, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for not hanging up the phone and telling me to suck it up, greatly appreciated. :)

When I'm whining and moaning about how much I have to do. When I'm complaining about the little amount of sleep I got. When I'm freaking out because I don't know how on Earth I'm going to add something else to my to do list. When I'm crying because the stress has gotten so bad I can't even comprehend a way to handle it. You're there. Each and everyone of you. Giving me guidance, assuring me that everything is going to be okay, and telling me to TAKE A BREAK!

Sometimes I think I really don't deserve it. What did I do that would possess God to surround me with such wonderful people? Whatever it was, I'm beyond glad He did. :)

I love you all to the very depth of my soul and I know that this blog post doesn't even begin to do you justice with how awesome you guys are. But just so you know, even when I'm whining about life and driving you crazy because you have to continue to tell me the same things over and over....

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
