Courage

Courage: The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficult, danger, pain ect. without fear.

"I learned that courage was no the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."- Nelson Mandela

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." -Mark Twain

Being courageous does not mean never being afraid but rather it means being able to overcome the fear and make something good out of it.  Casting Crowns song Courageous says that God can make us courageous.

Steal My Show

"If you want to steal my show, I'll sit back and watch you go. If you go something to say, go on and take it away." Steal My Show by Toby Mac

This is one of my many favorite Toby Mac songs.  It is off his newest album Eye On It.  This song is about God "stealing" our show.  Its about letting God do what he wants with you.  It's about letting God take the wheel.  Let God steal your show.  You never know what he has in store for you.

Attitude is the Key

"Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life."-Joel Osteen

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." -Brian Tracy

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how ell you do it." -Raymond Chandler

Positive thoughts turn into positive actions.  Your attitude determines everything you do.  Whatever you want to do in life just go for it.  It doesn't matter if  you think that you are too old or not good enough.  Just go for it!

"Just do it." -Nike

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.
