Long time Coming

It's been a long time comin'.

This feelin' I've got.
No rains gonna wash it

No Suns gonna bleach it

It's here and I want to run from it.

But

I plant my feet right here where Im at

Where my roots take me back

Im not leavin this place
Till Ive got dirt on my face

and some bone in my back.

Im holding out strong

Im gonna hold on

cause thats what my brother would do

He'd tell me to pray

and walk in his way

He'd tell me to smile

work and serve all the while.

My knees will get shaky

My heart will feel broken

the tears will roll
But Ill continue on my journey

till all things have been spoken.

I will not give up

I will not sit down and cry

Ill stand and make known the warrior I am.

Satan cant take me

Ive got my brother at my side
and with this faith, I wont hide

Its a battle worth fighting

My life is worth living

This spirit is worth strengthening

And I wont give up on myself.

Dear Friends

I feel like I want to share with you a story.

It's about me.

I took a bike ride tonight and wanted to just let the wind hit my face.

Sometimes its just nice to breathe in some fresh air and let all the bad go out.

So I did Just that.

I looked up at the stars and thought:

Heavenly Father, I know what the meaning of life is. I know where Im going and

why Im here. I know this gospel is true, I know its right and good.

I know whats right and whats wrong

I know you created this beautiful place and that Im here for a purpose.

But sometimes I wonder

When Ill get to the place

on this earth

When I am most peaceful.

I know that each day has its struggles. I am not naive

or stupid

Nothing comes easy.

But I also know

That through Faith, comes Hope.

And with faith and hope and alot of determination to fight for my own peacefulness.

My own Happiness.

And Goodness in my life.
I will find it.

And when I get there

It will be Bliss.

Because even then

My Trials and Tribulations

will seem worth the fight.

I know my Father in Heaven gave me this spirit

so I can fight

So I can know what its like to want to give up

and then realize

I am worth the fight.

That peace, that happiness.

Its worth the battle.

And once I win the war

The battles will come easier.

Lately I cry because I feel like I just can't do it.

I just cant go another day feeling like Ive got nothing to live for.

No goals.

But I do have alot to live for.

Ive got a Life to live for.

Family.
Sunrises, sunsets.

Laughing and crying.

Goosebumps.

Smiles.

It all seems worth it in that moment when I feel so happy

I want to cry

And that makes me know

Its worth it now

Even if I want to give up and just sit in bed all day.

"Broad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to the deaths; and many there are that go in thereat, because they receive me not..."

I've learned that only through my Faith in my Father in Heaven and in my brother Jesus Christ,

I can direct my own path, according to my Fathers plan for me, and it can be away from that broad gate.

I learned that I will make mistakes

and that through them I am strong.

But Now I know

it is not those mistakes that

Make me.

I make myself from the mistakes.

I do not let them mold me or determine my future.

I make it for myself.

" For straight is the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation

of the lives, and few there be that find it..."

I walk on that straight and narrow path

from here until He comes again.

I will fight this war and win.

I will fight the battles and conquer

and when I go to the gates of Heaven and look at my Brother,and my Father in Heaven,

I will Know that in me

is the Truth, the Courage

The light.

All my weaknesses and downfalls

the trials

will have been made strong unto me.

I will be Done with my learning and growing

I will be strong and refined

I will know who I am

and the Fight that I fought.

And then

I will start all over.

" Around here, however,we don't look backwards for long. We keep Moving Forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

Keep Moving Forward

I'm Sorry

Really.

If someone hurts me, offends me, or is rude.

I'll immediatly forgive them.

They don't even have to tell me they are sorry.

But for some reason

I am being hated on as of late.

I do a good deed.

I get punished.

Okay so, I could have done it differently but

that doesnt change that its done.

Or

that is was all done from the kindness of my Heart.

I think sometimes

We get carried away.

Life gets rough and Trials attack us.

Its like your senses are off kilter and we don't know what to do.

We feel violated

confused

frustrated

and angry.

But at any point in these trials

we must remember

Patience

Hope

and Love.

Because if we posses these qualities

Trials will always be much easier

on our

Hearts

our Spirits and our Bodies.

I totally dislike when there is contention in my life.

It just doesn't agree with my Simple way of thinking.

Which is

Forgive and Forget

and I wont regret.

Life is too short to be angry.

Angry enough to dig for more reasons to be angry

too short to be mad at someone whose done no wrong

too short to waste my thinking on angry thoughts.

I want to look back at yesterday, or even 5 years and say

I apologized and I did what I could.

I was kind, I was patient and I handled it well.

I handeled it like My Brother Jesus Christ would have.

I love my friends, I love my Family.

I love them so much, Id do anything for anyone of them.

Even someone I dont know.

What I do know

is that I find more peace with myself

When I can handle a situation with Grace and Patience.

And I also know

That any trial I go through will make me Stronger.

I want to be Courageous.

I want to be Strong.

I want to be Tough.

But I dont want

to be hard headed

arrogant or pompous.

I just want to look at myself and say

It's okay. It's All good.

Life

can get better

so can

My Attitude.

Forgive and Forget Quickly.

Love Intensely.

Live Fully.
