"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
-Reinhold Niebuhr
I can totally relate to this quote right now. I come blogging full of sadness, but yet joy. I was very sad today because a close friend is dealing with some very serious business and it really makes me sad because I have known him since like kindergarten. Please pray for his protection and that God will put a hand over him and just that I have a chance to just show him what love is. I hope that he just...doesn't get hurt. ♥
I also feel of joy because I am alive and I know that I am on Earth to live more than just a worldly life. Now with Bible club, me getting closer to my friends and really trying to love on them, and just all the beautiful opportunities that God has supplied me, from the shine of the sun to the cold of January; from getting decent grades to being able to talk to some of my closest friends and tell them about the love of Jesus.♥
I really hope that I can just spread the love of Jesus throughout the world and not be afraid of what people think of me, to be friends with the people I was afraid to yesterday, and to be hopelessly devoted to God, not just when I am scared, not just on a Sunday, but everyday. The wind will blow and the rain will blow but the hope of the Lord is forever.♥

Julia- you truly have a beautiful way of expressing your heart! I wish more people would thank God for the little things He does for you than always trying to blame Him for everything that goes wrong with their lives. Keep the love flowing!
