Walt Disney

Everyone has seen and loved Disney movie. One of my favorites is The Lion King but I love them all.  This is what I want for a career; the ability to surpass time and make people of all ages smile.

He taught us many things like never give up on your dreams and imagination is key. 

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

"Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood."

Here is to the man who taught us to dream.

Live Like there is no tommorow

If time came to an end today
And we left too many things to say
If we could turn it back
What would we want to change?
And now's the time to take a chance
Come on, we gotta make a stand
What do we gotta lose
The choice is in our hands.

And we can find a way
To do anything, if we try to.

Live like there's no tomorrow
'Cause all we have is here, right now
Love like its all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don't let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow.

If there never was a night, a day
And memories could fade away
Then there'd be
Nothing left, but the dreams we made
Take a leap in faith and hope you fly
Feel what it's like to be alive
Give it all that we've got
And lay it all on the line.

And we can find a way to do anything, if we try to.

Live like there's no tomorrow
'Cause all we have is here, right now
Love like its all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don't let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow.


Live like there's no tomorrow- Selena Gomez

Love this song; it has a great message. Never take life for granted and live life to the fullest.  :)

Judging

John 8:7

"He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her."

Matthew 7:1

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged."

Many verses in the bible are against judging someone or putting blame on someone.  Nobody is perfect therefore we can't judge someone on their wrongdoings.  Only God can judge and punish people; it is not our job.  Everyone has a story; so before you judge or say something about someone walk a mile in their shoes.  You will learn so much.

College update

Found out who my roommate is a few days ago.  She seems nice and we had a pretty long conversation on Facebook today.  Can't wait until August so I can start this new adventure.

:) 

(3 weeks as of tomorrow until I quit my job and 4 weeks until move in.)

A Plan

Proverbs 16:9 - "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."

God has a plan for you.  You may not know what it is now but he has one.  Everything happens for a reason.  I realized that I am going off to college in about 4ish weeks.  I mean I transferring so I have already been in college (but it felt more like high school.)  I am finally leaving the nest and trying to live on my own.  I am not sure what his plan is but its ok.  He will show me the way.

Only a Mountain

One of my favorite artists is Jason Castro.  One song of his that I like is Only a Mountain.  The chorus goes like this...

"This is only a mountain, you don't have to find your way around it.  Tell it to move, it'll move. Tell it to fall, it'll fall.  This is only a moment you don't have to let your fear control it. Tell it to move, it'll move. Tell it to fall, it'll fall."

This song is about overcoming obstacles and not let them stop you or define you.  The bible says a lot about this subject as well.  For example,  Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Footprints (one of my Fav poems)

One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonged to me, and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and to my surprise
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
There was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest
and saddest parts of my life.
This always bothered me
and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You,
You would walk and talk with me all the way.
But I'm aware that during the most troublesome
times of my life there is only one set of footprints.
I just don't understand why, when I needed You
most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child,
I love you and will never leave you
never, ever, during your trials and testing.
When you saw only one set of footprints
it was then that I carried you.

Humility

Luke 14:7-11

"When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table he told them this parable: When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, give this man your seat. Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, Friend move up to a better place. Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Jesus taught us to be humble. Whoever was first will be last; whoever will be last will be first.

On my local library website looking for books to read over the summer and found that it has a bunch of "For Dummies" books.  Here are a few examples.

1. Baby Signing for Dummies
2. Yoga for Dummies

6. Dogs for Dummies

So basically anything you want to learn has a Dummies book.

My personal favorites are Farmville and Hacking for Dummies.

Beauty

I was searching online for quotes about beauty and found a few that I really liked.

"Beauty in my opinion has nothing to do with looks. Its how you are as a person and how you make others feel about themselves." - The Notebook of Life

"Real glamour and beauty is not just mascara, Chanel no. 5 Perfume, and perfect lip gloss. Its being a role model, being beautiful on the inside, and caring more about others than you do yourself." -Unknown

"Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out."- Unknown

This world has distorted images of beauty.  A majority of the models are super-skinny and airbrushed.  No wonder eating disorders among young girls are so common.  Beauty is being the best you, its about caring for and taking care of others before yourself.  Its about putting others before you and following God's plan.

What I don't get about...pro-abortion activists

1. They are for woman's rights. But if the child inside the womb is a girl wouldn't that girl have rights too?

2. They say that a fetus is not a child. But leading scientists say that life begins at fertilization.

3. If someone hits a pregnant woman with a car causing the unborn baby to die then it is considered murder. But abortion is not.
