Short and maybe sweet

I haven't blogged in two weeks or so and I really think my best posts are the short ones and the forever long ones. So this is the short and sweet version of my life right now.

I gave complete control over to God and since I've stopped "driving" my life, its been more than amazing.  I spend less time at home and more time with people who help my faith grow. I've been babysitting a LOT and God has really open my eyes through children. I further understand why Jesus said we have to become children. Since I've given up control, my life has changed so much and I never want control over it again. I hear God more, and its absolutely amazing. I've realized, I don't need to serve twice a weekend in order to feel like I'm doing right. Accepting what others thought and think about me is pretty hard some times and yet I'm learning to accept it. My prayers have changed, and I pray for different things, one of them is what God wants me to do. I thought I was going to become a doctor, God has me following a different path and I'm running on it. I go into deep thought more and more, plus I'm pretty sure I know who God wants me to follow. I'm more comfortable about sharing God and when God lays something on my heart, I take action. I see God more and take time to learn more. Whether I'm a great role-model or not, I'm still an apostle which means I'm going to do my best to follow Christ. If you've ever called me wise and I disagreed, God showed me that I was. If you haven't talked to someone for a while, ask them how their day went, maybe they will find Christ, or deep their relationship. I know one girl who wants to seek God and read her Bible because we talked. Here's a poem I wrote last night, it explains a lot more than this does :)

When I hear a child laugh
I can’t help but smile
Because they are the perfect role-models

Hearts so pure
Always forgiving
and never full of hate

Helping each other
not caring for appearance
or really anything for that matter

Truthful tongues
unlike any other
not caring what others think

Having a mind of their own

Not always knowing what to do
Asking for help when they know they can’t do it alone

Always trying to find fun
believing when not seeing
and seeking for what they believe

Asking questions when wondering
Taking in every answer
Learning from each one

We may teach them right from wrong
But they teach us how to have fun
And what to long

Teach a child right
Let them take flight
Watch them find all their might

We should become children once again
Following our hearts
Wanting to become firemen

Becoming a child
Not so simple
Forgetting all about logic

Spend more time with children
Your heart will become pure
You will fall in love with the simple things in life

Take time to learn
To feel
to become a child at heart

Smiling,laughing, crying
Loving,caring, helping
Believing, knowing, seeking
and Learning

These are the things we need to learn
Learn from a child and put into action
If we did the world would be a better place for all
