Love Is Not A Fight

Me and My mom watched the movie Fireproof yesterday and this is one of the songs that really stuck with me. The words are very true.





Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It's a house we enter in
And then commit to never leave

Lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
We'll work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter in the raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
If we try to leave, may God send His angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word
That they can fall into
But when they're falling out
Keeping that word is hard to do

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing of us
But demand we give our all

I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?
It's worth fighting for

While I'm Waiting

This Song has been on my mind and I thought I would post the lyrics.

John Waller-While I'm Waiting


I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Life

Life is short. Very short. We never know when it is going to come to a end. It could be tonight, tomorrow, or 50 years from now. Trey, a friend of mine from the Fire Department, is an amazing example to me. When he was just 16 years of age, both of his parents were diagnosed with cancer. Less then six months later, his monther passed away. Not even two weeks after his mother passed away, his dad passed away. Trey, who is now 18 years old, is one of the happest people I know. I asked him how he could be so happy when he lost both of his parents at the same time. He told me he had to honor them and remember the good times and that is what keeps him going day to day. I do not think I have ever seen him without a smile on his face. I took this story he told me as a lesson. Life is short. So while we are here on this earth we should make the best of it. We should love everyone, forgive and forget, be happy, help others, and smile. At times life will be hard but we can get through the hard times. All we have to do is pray, read the scriptures, and remember our Heavenly Father. My new goal is to get up every morning and tell myself that this is going to be a wonderful day. Trey thought he was going to have the rest of his life with his family, but he didn't. He wishes that he was happier around his parents and respected them more then he did. Well, I just thought I would put my thoughts down. Enjoy!

Dad's inner Child

Because there was not much ice under the snow, we were not able to go sledding. My brother's and I decided that we would go "red neck" sledding. We got the John Deer out, but that was not good enough for my dad, so he got the Jeep out. Not a very smart idea. This is what happens when you use the Jeep to go sledding. You hit a trash can...and a few other things.

More Snow!

Around Snow Hill!

It's Snowing!

The snow is here, first in four years!
