One of those days.

    Ever wake up feeling like everything is going to be great? That no matter what happens, today is going to be a great day? Well I just love those day! And thats how I woke up this morning. Maybe it was the fact I woke up at 5:30 or maybe it was the fact I woke up to my alarm telling me," Good Morning Beautiful". Whatever it was, it made my day. Starting out with my coffee tasting AMAZING and that hardly ever happens.(I can't ever find the perfect medium of coffee grinds) Then school was great, actually it was better then great it was stupendous. I had a teacher who took one of my original writing pieces and made me a copy of hers. :) Is there a better complement from a teacher than that? And everything else just fell into place.


   Not only has today been perfect but the last week and a half has just been better than perfect. I know why, and yes I'm going to share. Since June of last year, I've had this constant struggle in my life. It was learning to live with someone that I couldn't stand. Well that person is out of my life. I haven't really told anyone except my friends from school. It's not that the person who left was the source of all my problems but it did make my life more difficult having them here. I'm actually grateful that they were here. Not that the struggling was great but that the lessons I learned during that time were life changing.Really life changing. Quite frankly I'm grateful for this time during the eye of the storm because I know that I'm going to struggle and struggle through this life.( Won't expect anything more or less) But the rewards for though struggles are going to be more than worth it. Or at least I think so :)

  Basically, right now in my life, all I can do is praise God. I've fought Him for the last six months about not being able to learn anything from my last rough patch but God pulled through. And was right. (Like always!) So I'm just gonna TRY and listen to what He's got to say. Because for the longest time, my faith didn't define me but made me who I was and how I acted. I miss that so much! Not the faith, still got that. But always knowing what to do 'cause I had people who I met with who encouraged my faith and even when I wasn't all that good of a Christian, (whatever that means) I was able to talk to them about why I wasn't so tight with God. Now I have people who are amazing in my life and help me but I know that I'm not always encouraging other people to follow God. Mainly its my actions that show who I'm fighting for at that moment in time. God or the Enemy that's who you fight for- no gray areas when it comes down to it. There isn't ever any fine print to back up any one's case either.

  But that's where you can choose which case you want everyone to know you by. Whether you believe in God or not is between you and Him. No one can believe for you and no one can make that choice for you. In this life we are always finding ways to take some one's choice away. I get it, sometimes they can't answer for themselves or you think you know best. Well people can choice when you get your driver's license, if you graduate from high school, how old you have to be in order to make decision But no one can make you fight for God, that's all on you. That's just one lesson I've picked up through my last rough patch. Many, many more to come :)

   Hope my rambling made some sense and I hope that tomorrow you wake up and get the feeling like everything is going to be great :)
