How Short Is Life?

    Our life on earth can go in a blink of an eye. We never know when or how it's going to happen. We just know that our life here on earth isn't going to last forever.

So when was the last time you told somebody you loved him/her?

What are you waiting for? Go go!!

I want you to spend this day telling your friends and family how much you love them. You never know when's their last day on earth. So, GO!!

Love Others!

What my brother wrote...

    "There is a moment in life when you realize that you've wasted so much time on useless things. In that moment you come to realize how precious your friends are and how valuable your family is. It doesn't matter what you did in the past, what matters is what you do right now in this moment. 

    Enjoy every second of every day and live it to the fullest as if it was your last. Tell your family you love them, mess around and have fun with your friends. Tell jokes, share stories, make memories. One day they're here and the next they're gone. 

    We never know when the person we were with today may be here tomorrow. So live life one moment at a time, live life one day at a time."

I Don't Need God In My Life?

That title might sound wrong for most of you but first let me explain, ok?

If you have a bed at your house, do you need a bed? Of course not because you already have one.

    You see, thats what I mean. If I already have God, then why should I need God? No, I don't need more of God. Because that would mean that I don't have Him completely and that just doesn't make sense. Either you have God or you don't. You can't have a part of God!

If you don't have God in your life then you really truly need Him. 

I usually have no idea how people without God can live. Like, when they're passing through a storm, a hard time in life, where do they go? What do they do? 

Maybe thats when suicidal thoughts come to mind, or they go drink to forget, or they takes drugs. They have no peace in their life, because Jesus Is Peace. 



    That's why we see Miley Cyrus being all crazy. Justin Bieber went to prison. Zac Efron had an alcohol and drug addiction. I can do a list of all the celebrities that people say, went off the path. But the truth is... They were never In The Path. Remember, Jesus is the Way, the Path. 

THEY NEED GOD IN THEIR LIFE! 

People need to stop judging them and start praying for them. 

Maybe you think it's impossible for them to change and it's true. They Can't Change! They can try but they won't succed. Only God's love can change their life. 

Pray for them! Believe me, praying does work. You may not see the results today or tomorrow or even next month, but God told us that He will answer our prayer. So, it will happen.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (John 14:13-14)

Am I Really Happy In My Life?

These past months I don't feel completely happy, like something's missing.

Yes, God is my everything. Yes, I have a great family. Yes, I have friends that love me.

So, why don't I feel as happy as I should be? 

I have happy moments, but then it passes and I'm back to feeling like blah. Shouldn't having God make me happy? Why aren't I happy? What's missing?

    Today I took a hip hop class and it's been like a year since I took a class because of something that happened with my knee. I felt so nervous coming back to class. Most of the people there don't know me. Only some just recognize me but don't actually know who I am.

    Anyways, class started and when I learned the choreography I felt so amazing like "I got this!" It just feels amazing to do something you love. Sure, sometimes I messed up but I kept practicing the choreography. When I danced I wasn't thinking so much on what step was coming next, I just tried to go with the music.

A glimpse of my hip hop class. I'm the one with the ponytail and the military pants...




    Well, when class was over, I went out to eat with my family. I felt tired and again felt like blah and I sometimes thought to myself... "I just came out of a class doing what I really love and now I feel like blah? Maybe it's because I'm tired." But was that really the reason?

It's frustrating wanting to live a happy life, especially now that I'm only 20 years old, but time just passes by and nothing changes. I feel the same way almost everyday. I am not completely happy!

Can I Love The People In My Life?

Let's start with this,
God = Love

That simple right?

Now look at this... 
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:8)

Interesting isn't it?

If someone doesn't love you, it's because that person doesn't know God. But, if a person does love you, that person knows God and the only way you can know God is by accepting Jesus in your heart.

So, the only way you can truly love others is by accepting Jesus Christ. Yep, you heard me (you know what I mean). We cannot love others if we don't have love himself.

People use the word "Love" so often and they don't even know Who love is?

Girls, listen to me! A guy CANNOT love you if he doesn't have Jesus Christ!

Guys, listen to me! A girl CANNOT love you if she doesn't have Jesus Christ!

It's just not possible. That's why it's better to wait for "The One".

Remember...

God = Love

Should I Have Expectations In Life?

Expectation =  a belief that something will happen or is likely to happen

Expectations ruin any kind of relationship.

When you don't expect anything from anyone, you will be less disappointed about others.

But the sad truth is...

    We're always expecting things about others. Like, when you open a door for someone you expect a "Thank You", or you expect life after high school to be easier, or like in my case when I text my best friend, I expect her to answer rapidly. But no, she takes like 30 minutes to sometimes 2 - 3 hours to answer a message. When those expectations don't come true, you feel disappointed, mad, or sad. But it's not the other person's fault. They didn't know you were expecting something from them. You're the one who had expectations.

I would tell you to stop having expectations about others, but that's not realistic because in the back of your mind you'll still be expecting something from others.

Like when I invite my best friend to go somewhere, I know I shouldn't expect anything, but really really deep inside I'm still expecting her to go.

So, how do we stop expecting something from other people? Honestly, I have no idea.

If you have the answer, please comment below. I would really like to know.

Worry About Life?

    In the past, I worried that I'll lose my best friend because we almost never see each other in person(No, not the same person in "Can You Trust Somebody With Your Life") and things will change. That she would meet new people and forget about me, but while time passes by, I've learned that That is not going to happen. I was worrying about nothing.

    In some point of our life, we've worried about nothing... 

...and the thing is that, Worrying makes no difference in the outcome of the situation.

Think about it! When has being worried about something changed the situation? 

Asnwer:

NEVER!!

So, why do we worry? Shouldn't we trust God with everything? 

Believe me, when you leave it in God's hands you will feel weightless, or at least you won't feel as heavy as before. It's going to be such a relief!

People usually say "Pray more, Worry less", but that's wrong! We shouldn't worry at all! Why should we always be worrying about something? Thats a burden. You won't be at peace in your life.

We should change the saying above and say "Trust God and You'll be Worryless".
