How To Save A Life

Tonight I watched the movie To Save A Life. This really got me thinking about school! As I walk down the halls of school, I look at kids and think they are fine. I never really thought about what they might me feeling on the inside. The thing about teens now days, is that you never know when they are truly hurting.My goal is to start looking out for those who are really struggling to be happy, and those who are depressed, or even those who are going through the worst time of there life. I know from experience that just giving someone a friendly smile, sitting down with them at lunch, or even a "I'm here if you need to talk". Even the smallest actions and words can make a difference in someones life! I want to make a difference in the world, and starting with just a smile will get me started!

Cry Out To Him! Don't Pretend! BELIEVE! Open Up! Release The Fear! Accept Yourself! Trust Yourself! Forgive & Forget! You Are Loved! You Are Cherished! You Are A Child Of God! Say Goodbye to the old, and say Hello to the NEW!
     "Therefore, if Anyone is in Christ, the New creation has come: The old has gone, and the New is here!" 
                                                                                           -- 2 Corinthians 5:17




"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."   
                                       -- Isaiah 41:10

  1. I want to say some inspiring thing to get you started =) but quotes do not usually come to be at 7:15 AM. I just want you to say I will pray for you about this, and that will God will open hearts for you and show how useful a simple friend can be for people who are struggling. I know from experience, depression sucks and if it wasn't for my loving friends I don't know where I would be right now or if I would be...just wanted to saying praying for you and Love ya sis.

  4. So, I'd like to say your blog looks so FAMILIAR!! Lol! But, I love that movie!! I have it; I told you to watch it!! But it covers a great span of so many topics. And, yes, we have to look deeper than the "I'm fine." And its hard because sometimes we can only go as far as the other is willing. But pray for God to give you his eyes to see what cannot be seen.

    P.S. I'm so almost done with all these letters!!

  5. Continually praying for you! (: It really encourages me that you're looking to live for Christ. Lately my eyes have been opened to those that need Him... and I've been feeling at a loss.
    But it really encourages me to have sisters in Christ that are so real in their faith.

    Here's a quote I found recently that I liked:
    "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future with a known God."
