Live Today Like It Was Your Last: What Matters?

Here is my second post on the "Live Today Like It Was Your Last" series.   Today I want to talk about what matters to you in life.   Since we only get one life here on earth.  How can we make the most of what we've got?  I mean, in the world today your life is what people call "good" if you've got the Ipod, IPhone, big house, new car, the newest hair styles & out fits.    All those things are pretty amazing to us!    But, have you ever really thought about where that stuff is going to go when you die?   You won't need any of it anymore.    What I am trying to say is all those things are really great but, in the end, what really matters most?   When your on your last day, is how you look going to matter?  Or what you had?  
Not really, no.    In the end, how you walked and lived for Jesus is what's really going to matter.   How would you feel if you got saved & went to church, did all the Christian things.  But, you never really prayed, except for maybe dinner?    You put all your time & life into things that never really meant anything.    
I just starting thinking about when I turned around almost 15, I realized what was really important to me & what really matters in life, not what I have, or what I want.  But, what I do & how I do it! 
I wanna tell others about Jesus Christ & help anyone I can.  I want to spend more time with my family, while we're all together on earth!   Those things truly really matter to me!   If I died today, I'd would have wanted to spend every moment I could have laughing, talking & just being together as family.   & I would have wanted to have known I did everything I could for Jesus & tried my hardest to share & spread His word to everyone I could!  

So today ask yourself, "If you died today did you do all that really mattered to you?"

Thanks so much for reading, sorry it's not very great.  Like I said, it's kinda a hard subeject to write about.    PLEASE tell me what you think down below this post.   I LOVE to hear what you guys think, it really helps me write more! :)

Live Today Like It Was Your Last: Remembered

Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been so busy.  Anyways, good news is I'm back!  :) 

I'm starting a new theme for the next few posts, it's titled "Live Today Like It Was Your Last"
Today's is asking yourself the question "How do I want to be remembered?"   

If your my friend on Facebook the title of this post is often posted as a status of mine.  I know it probably gets old to some people, hearing it over & over again.   I want everyone to realize that the next second isn't promised to be ours.   God could take you home anytime. Which by the way, He already knows exactly when that time is!   It's God people, He knows all!
It's hard for us to even wrap our minds around the thought of all He knows & does.   God had a reason for not telling us when exactly He's going to take us off earth.  My guess is because, we'd all freak out if we really knew just how many days of our lives we had left to live.    At least I know I would. 
I see so many young & full of life people die everyday.  Just watch the News & you'll see.    I always wonder, how they lived they're last few days, hours, minutes, seconds of their lives.   How do people remember them now?    Did they get a chance to tell their loved ones how much they loved them.  Did they treat everyone kind or dirty?    Have you ever really asked yourself those questions?  How are people going to remember you once die?    I've been asked this questions a few times before & then I asked myself, "How do I want people to remember as?"
Well, I would want them to know I was a christian, & I acted the way Christ would want me to, treating others with respect & kindness.  
I know it's so tough to be nice to everyone & say kind things.  I have eight little brothers that can drive me crazy at times, it gets super hard to always say kind, sweet, loving things.  & I mess up, a lot.  We all do.  It's a normal natural human thing.    But, what if someone you loved died & the last thing you ever said to them was something unkind & mean?  I would feel terrible!   We must treat everyone as if it was the last time we'd ever speak to them.  Cause God never promised us the next second.  

I hope this made sense.  It's kind of a tough subject to write about.  Please tell me what you thought & I'll try to get the next post up asap! :)
  
Thanks for reading!!!!

Prayer Requests?

Hey everyone!  I'm someone who loves to pray, a lot.  Anything that goes wrong I try to turn to God & pray.   I was trying to think of ways I could help out people, in some way.  & the one really good thing I could think of is praying,  I'd love to pray for any of you guys!  I just recently started a "Prayer journal"
In other words, it's a note book I write prayers down, so that I won't forget any of them.    I know some things are personal so all you have to tell me is that it a unspoken & I'll still pray for you.   If your not comfortable with commenting a request please email me @ Kate2blue@gmail.com  & I'll write your name down in my prayer journal.  Please let me know if I can pray for you are talk to you about anything.  I would just love to hear from you!   THANKS :D

Thankful Post: Summer

So I'm writing another thank you post tonight!  I have so many things to be thankful for!   One of the biggest things I'm thankful for is SUMMER TIME, woot woot!   People are complaining about the hot weather, & yes I have to agree, lately it has been very very warm, but, still, I'd take it any day over a blizzard.  That's just the way I am.    Snow is awesome & all but, no I'm not one for the cold...except for a/c..I do love that!     Summer seems to go by WAY too fast!   Public schools here are starting in like two more weeks, I heard.  WOW...it's unbelievable!   

Theres so many great things in the summer, I'm always so happy!   Friends, family, camp, church events..the fun is forever!  

So God, I just wanted to thank you for making this wonderful season summer!!!  I love it SO much!  

P.S. Sorry it's so short. :) 

  

Thank you Jesus!

Angela :)

Most of you probably already know my other blog Saving A Little Life With The Love of Jesus Christ , & it is all about trying to get little children from Reece's Rainbow orphanage, adopted!       For the past few months I've been trying to find little Angela her forever family.  Someone that would love her & give her everything a beautiful little angel like herself deserves!   & after a lot of praying, sharing & donating little sweetie pie Angela is finally on the My Family Found Me, page!   I'm not sure who exactly the family is, yet.  But, they're going to be very blessed to have baby girl, Angela there with them!  I'm so thankful that she's getting adopted, so I just had to write a thank you post to Jesus, cause, thus truly is a BLESSING!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be a Cheerleader!

Everyone needs a cheerleader & everyone needs to be a cheerleader.  Now I'm not talking about a cheer leading team or anything like that, I mean your own personal cheerleader. Acheerleader is anyone who is there when you truly need them.    A cheerleader that knows how to find the positive in the negativity of life.  I try so hard to be a cheerleader.  I'm not the best at it, it's hard to see the positive out the negative in life.  A verse that is one of my very favorites is "Encourage one another and build each other up" - 1 Thessalonians 5:11  
It's nice to know that the Bible tells us to encourage one another too.  It reminds me never to give up on encouraging one another, because sometimes, it can be a very easy thing to forget.  Just as easy as saying the negative thing.
Another one of my favorites would be Hebrews 10:24-" Think of ways to encourage one another to outburst of love and good deeds." 
Now wow, "outburst"  that's a pretty good word to use.  I would love to have some outbursts of love & good deeds in my life, how about you?
We should all take some time to stop & think about what are friends & family hear from us.  Are the motivated by love & encouraging things?  Or do they hear you break them down with ugly & hurtful words & actions?   I think I can honestly say I've said both sides before, but, more ugly & hurtful. 
That's not how I want to be though.  I know I can change & be a cheerleader!    We should look for the brightest side of life & always count our many blessings!  God loves us!  He wants us to show others love & kindness from Him through us. 

Thanks for taking time to read this & I hope it made sense.  I haven't posted in ages so I'm sorry if it's messy & not so easy to read. 

GOD BLESS YOU!

Big Enough by Ayiesha Woods ft. Tobymac

Here's another awesome song!  It's Friday so why not have two posts! :D  & if your like me you it's just another Friday night at home hangin' out.  Oh & if your trying to get the play list to shut off so you can listen to to this song you can look back from a couple posts ago on my very first post on the play list subject. 


I really really like this song!  I'm not really sure about the artist, Ayiesha Woods.  Although this song does feature Tobymac & if you know him then you know that if he's in a song it's great! :)  This song really has a good point & the beat is perfect.   Tell me what you think about it though comment or rate what you think!  Thanks!!
