I found this e-mail from my brother. He sent it to me when I was a freshman in college, and it still helps me even today. It has helped me get through some rough times, and maybe it will help you too. And I just want him to know how much this has meant to me and how much I appreciate all that he has done for me. I love you Big Poppa!
"In Illinois a preacher made a statement this weekend that I will never forget and it holds true to everything in life. The statement is "How would today have been different if I had only prayed yesterday. Think of how tommorow can be if you pray today. Not just a normal repetitious prayer, but an all out plea to God, what would tommorow bring." He also said that God hears us and answers our pleas. Don't give up on Him. The one thing you have going for you is that you have God on your side. When you feel anything other than the norm turn to Him and He will be anything that you need Him to be. We were not created with the spirit of fear or timidness but we were created with boldness because of the favor we have, and that we are children of God. Don't back down on your morals, don't give up on God (find Him more and remember He will never ever give up on you), stand up for yourself and don't be afraid."
I HATE READING!! But the Bible is the best book, it has all the answers you will ever need!
Movies/TV
I like a ton of movies, but I guess my favorites would have to be Back to the Future, Toy Story, Star Wars, Lilo and Stitch, Fantastic 4, A Walk To Remember, and the list can go on and on. However, I pretty much only watch movies that are rated G or PG. I guard my heart on a daily basis, and watching movies with sexual content and foul language (to say the least) is not for me. Keep that stuff away!
I'm 22 & counting
Last year of college (one more semester yay!)
Class of 2010! Woot Woot!
I've changed a lot over the last year and a half
I fall more in love with Jesus everyday
I seek His face with all that is within me
Lord, You are my everything! Jesus ----> Mereces la Gloria
I'm not like every other young adult
-Never had alcohol-
-Never smoked-
-Never done drugs-
-And I plan to keep it that way-
I've been hurt way too many times
I'm still trying to pick up the pieces of my heart from some of them
They don't seem to fit together anymore
But I am moving on because I know God has bigger and better things in store for me
God is still healing me from the past
I pray for that one special guy everyday....I know he's out there
I'm just hanging on another day
And I will wait for you even if it takes the rest of my life

God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go
I know it's crazy, but I like Detroit
You just gotta find the good parts and not stray away from them
I am leaving for Disney World soon
My heart is already breaking for the kids that will be there with me
Some are agnostic, atheist, quakers, and the list goes on and on
I just pray I am a bright light Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
I pray that God uses me in a mighty way down there
This is for you, and you know who you are:
I already love you with all of my heart
I know I can't see you or be with you right now
But there will be a time when we will never be apart
I pray you continue to wait for me, like I am waiting for you
With all my love
I sit here trying to think of things to say to describe what Honduras was truly like because I know that there are many people out there who would like to know what happened on the trip. I can still picture everything like I am still there. I never...
