Hola! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted. My schedule with school and work and trying to fit in some sleep and social time in is pretty crazy! So what's new... well today at church was really great. Today was my first day to join the worship team! I was super nervous. I mean i knew that everything would be fine and that i could do it but still, nerves take over! But it was really awesome getting to see things from a different perspective. I really enjoyed singing and look forward to singing again next week. I feel like i have a strong connection to Go Church and i don't really know why. We really don't have very many people, and we have guests every now and then. Some people could get discouraged by this but I feel like I am in the right place at the right time. Church is supposed to be a place that is spreading God's love- accepting everyone for who they are and loving them for that. I will continue to do my best at spreading God's love and mercy and inviting as many people as i can to church. But you know what, it is not always about church. There are so many things that you can do- help someone pick up knocked over trees out of their yard, give someone a ride somewhere, help someone with their homework, do the dishes for your significant other or your family, or just smile at someone and give them a kind word. You would be amazed at how much you can impact someone's day just by being nice. I work as a server in a restaurant and I tell you what, most times, i will take someone who is friendly over someone who tips well. A- because I know that God will take care of my finances as long as I am faithful and B- because my whole day can be turned around by someone being nice or giving me a simple compliment like- you do a great job, or thanks for getting that for me, or it's nice to see you. Because I enjoy hearing these things, I try to remember to say these things to other people. I am not perfect and there are times when I get angry, or upset and I probably get snappy. I am sorry If i ever get snippy with anyone, lol but i am human and i really try to keep a positive attitude about everything because when it comes down to it, you choose how you react to things and what you say to people. You can NEVER control other people (how they feel, what they say, what they do) but you CAN control yourself. When someone puts you down or doesnt tip you or never tells you the good things you do but are quick to tell you the bad- just turn around with positivity. I know that things can always be worse and that I am so blessed to have all the things in my life that I do. I do not thank God enough for all the blessings. So something else I try to go by- Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. :)
After church today, Aaron and I went and saw Titanic in 3D at the imax. I love that movie anyway and seeing it back in the theater was amazing. I realized something during the movie, the last time I saw that movie in the theater, was with my dad. It just shows you how long that movie has been around. It was kind of bitter sweet to see that movie- but it is a great movie and I went with Aaron so I wouldn't have had it any other way.
So those are my thoughts today- nothing crazy inspirational but to ask that you always try to keep a positive attitude and to show kindness and love. My first priority will always be to God but he says it himself to love one another...
Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22: 37-39
