thoughts on life.

Have you ever had the moment where everything seems fresh and new? I have. It's like I'm seeing it
all for the first time. Life and nature, that is. The sky seems to be a deeper blue; the sun is brighter;
and life seems more alive.

My life is God-given. And all the while through this journey He gives parents, friends, opportunities,
talents, inspiration, and so much more to make this life more wonderful than it already could be.

And, yes, I know life isn't always easy. I remember asking God one time,"why are there hardships
 and grief?"  It was a few weeks later that He oh-so-lovingly answered me. It wasn't an audible
voice; it was more of a quiet realization in my heart. "If there were no trials, what would you need
 faith in Me for? Trials are, in a way, needed for a closer relationship with Me."
Whoa. That kind of blew me away; I still remember it today.

Every day is a day to be thankful; life is a beautiful gift not to be taken lightly. And I desire to live my
life to the fullest, make an impact on somebody's life, and be an inspiration.
