Encouraging Word Wednesday: Week 3

You know, there are some things that we can't avoid.  Some struggles that we feel like we will never win.  But let me tell you something, God is always ready to help.  He's always there.  Like Capital Kings said in their song YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE,  you really are never alone.  God is always with you.

Encouraging Word Wednesday: Week 2

Here's the second week of Encouraging Word Wednesday.

No matter what happens, God loves you.  If you feel alone or hated, just remember that He is always there.  He is always with you and he loves you more than anyone else in this world.

Also, I'm putting in a bonus Encouraging Word!

"Just keep swimming.  Just keep swimming.  What do we do?  We swim, swim, swim!" Don't forget about Dory's legendary words from Finding Nemo!

Funny Friday

Just like I'm doing Encouraging Word Wednesday, I'm going to also do a Funny Friday.  So every Friday (hopefully every Friday) I will be posting something funny.  Here is today's!

So my brother told me this joke:
Once there was a man who wanted to be a bell ringer.  He went to the priest and asked him if he could ring the bell.  But the man had a problem, he didn't have any arms.  So the priest said, "No, you can't ring the bell because you don't have any arms."  Just to prove that he could, the man went up every Sunday to where the bell hung and he would ring it with his face.  And every time after the last ring he would fall off into the street.  So the people gathered around and asked the priest, "Who is this guy?" the priest replied, "I don't know.  But his face rings a bell."

Encouraging Word Wednesday

So I'm going to start this new thing where every Wednesday (since it's the middle of the week and everyone just wants to quit) I post an encouraging word.  Weather it be a single word, a paragraph, or as long as an essay, it's meant to encourage you.  I might miss a week, but I will do my best to keep them coming!  So here's the first one.

God made you for a purpose.  If you've seen the movie Hugo you'll remember this line, "I always imagine the world as one big machine.  Because machines don't come with extra parts.  So I guess that if the world was one big machine, I'm not an extra part.  I have a place in this world."  Don't say that you're a mistake or you aren't meant to be here.  God doesn't make mistakes, and he knew exactly what he was doing when he made you.

Christmas Vacation

Cousins galore?  Oh heavens yes.  I was surrounded by my 7 amazing cousins for one week and 4 of those cousins for 2 weeks.  It was amazing!  We all got along well for not seeing each other for about 8 years.  And our idea of showing affection was pulling pranks and being annoying.  Did I have fun?  Heck yeah!  We went sight seeing and I went to the 3 High School football state championship games at an NFL field with my dad, 3 of my cousins, my uncle, and my dads best friend and his kids.  It was a long day...approximately 8 hours straight of football, nachos, and hot dogs.  Even though I'm not a big football fan, I will admit that I had a fun watching the sport and the competition between the two teams.  And the stadium?  HUGE!  It was so loud it gave me a headache, and my uncle got sick while we were there...not too great for him, but the rest of us had a blast:)  I don't know how many different Walmart's we went to and I can't even count how many burgers we ate from What A Burger, but let me tell you, a family Christmas Vacation with more family that you haven't seen in 8 years was definitely a great way for all of us to spend the holiday.  What's cool, is that now that we're back home, my grandparents and aunt and uncle here are going to celebrate another Christmas with us this month!  So we had a family Christmas before we left on vacation, and we had one with the cousins there, and then we're having another one here with more family!  And here was was thinking that my extended family was small!  Anyway, hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
