First of all I want to say: Thank you Lord! Thank you for my family ,for my house , for my friends, for my church, for my school, and for everything that You have blessed me with! I live such a good life and I always forget to appreciate it. There are people with so much less then i have yet I complain that I can't stay up late or the I don't have a friend over. Today I was watching a show called Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They remake homes for people who have troubles. Who can't pay for it . Sometimes people will have sicknesses or injuries that make it very hard to live. This time it was a family with 6 kids. 5 out of 6 of them had autism . One liked to rock on chairs because it helped him. Another one they said got out her stress by writing on the walls. They were all so nice all of them were so intelligent and sweet you just couldn't help but love this family. Their dad worked 2 jobs so that their mom could take care of the kids. She did so much work for them . There was one of her daughters the only one without autism she had to deal with a lot of things in the house being the only one without autism. This family was about to get kicked out of their house because they had trouble paying the mortgage . They couldn't fix up their house not because they were lazy at all but because they had to constantly watch over the children. Their mom was going through so much because if they lost their home she might have lost them. They were such an amazing family with so much to complain about but they were happy anyway. We don't have any problems near as hard as theirs. Their problem was resolved when Extreme Makeover came in and completely re-did their house.They has a fund raiser to raise money for the family so they wouldn't have to be in debt. They did certain things for each of these kids needs and truly changed these people's lives forever. This episode just showed me how much I have. And how much other's don't. This also reminds me of what Jesus did for us he came to earth to die. He knew he would he knew there was nothing he could do yet He did it without a comment. People decided to crucify Him and he has every right to hate us ...but He doesn't. The love of God is still here no matter what. I have had some trouble trusting God lately . I worry a lot and no matter how many times I tell myself it will change I don't always believe it. But God really is in control. I also want to act but I am only 11 and I know I have time. But somehow I still get upset that I can't do something to try to act more. God is amazing we live to serve Him and that is what we should do. I am on something called the shine mime team at my church. And I like acting in it I like doing that in front of people. But I think I might be partly doing that for the wrong reason. I am going to change that. This shouldn't be about the drama it should be however about showing God to others and reaching out to people. And that is what we do. I love the Lord and hope to follow in his footsteps for the rest of my life. I want to act but if that isn't what God wants for me that will be okay. I want to do what he wants me to not what I want. But I do think that it may be what he wants me to do. I think if I continue to do things on the mime team it would be serving the Lord. This whole time on their we serve him by touching the hearts of others. I just want to reach out to others. I will be thankful for my life and for what I have. And I hope to help others get the true gift that I am truly blessed to have. A life with Jesus Christ.
This is my prayer today: Dear God, Please help me to live my life to serve You Lord! Thank you for all that you have given me. I ask that through what you want me to do I could reach out to others and truly show them the gift of life is You Lord. I Love you and thank you. Amen.
Today I have reached a whole new level in my life with Christ!
My goal for this week: Be nicer to everyone in my life.
