WE NEVER TALK ANYMORE

WE NEVER TALK ANYMORE
--author unknown--

Dear Friend,
As you got up this morning,
I watched you and hoped you would talk to me,
even if it was just a few words,
asking my opinion,
or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday.
but I noticed you were too busy trying to find the right outfit
to put on and wear to school.

I waited again.
When you ran around the house getting ready,
I thought there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say "hello",
but you were too busy.


At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes
with nothing to do except sit in a chair.
I thought you wanted to talk to me
but then I saw you spring to your feet.
and you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.

I watched as you went to school or work
and I waited patiently all day long.
With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed that before lunch you looked around,
maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me,
that is why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced three or four tables over
and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate,
but you didn't.
How sad.
But there is still more time left,
and I have hope that you will talk to me even yet.

You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.
After a few of them were done you turned on the TV ,
The things that go on there can be so corrupt, or just a waste of time ,
just about anything goes there
and you spend so much time each day in front of it,
not thinking about me or anything,
just enjoying the show, trying to escape your thoughts.
I waited patiently again as you watched TV and ate your meal,
but again you didn't talk to me.

As you did your homework I waited again.
You did what you had to do.
At bedtime I guess you felt too tired.
After you said goodnight to your family,
you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.
You didn't even thank me for the blessings I gave you today.
I wanted to tell you that I am always there for you.
But you missed the opportunity.

Because I love you so much,
a long time ago I left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to Earth.
I gave it up so that I could save you from your sins.
I was ridiculed and made fun of and suffered a painful torture,
and I even died so you wouldn't have to die for your sins.
I love you so much that I wait everyday
for a nod, prayer, thought or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
I created you so I could fellowship with you.
But sadly, you don't think it is very important at all.

Well, you are getting up again,
and once again I will wait with nothing but love for you,
hoping that today you will give me some time today.
Have a nice day!

Your friend,
Jesus

What God's been doing in my life...

11.13.04 (4:38 am)   [edit]
I gotta tell you all that over the past year, I have been going through some really tough storms. There have been times when I couldn't even "see to take another step", but I clinged to God and remembered that even though I didn't know the plan, He does. Anyway, through it all, even though it has been so tough, I did (am doing) my best to remember to be thankful for the tough times, because they mold and shape me into a more mature and strong person.

 

The whole time (and especially at the beginning of this year) it was so tough and I wondered how much longer I would have to endure the storm, but I also did my best to ask God, "Ok..Lord, what are you trying to teach me? What do you want me to get out of this situation?" and no matter "how hard the rain poured", I had His amazing peace in my heart. :) No, maybe I wasn't "happy" at times, but I always had His joy in my heart and I had peace.

 

Now that I look back and also look at the situation now, it's amazing to see how much better things have gotten and how much stronger and more confident I have become. The storm has calmed some and I am SO thankful for that! God has answered my prayers in many ways!

 

Even though I'm not completely out of this storm yet, I have been so blessed by seeing how the Lord has been working and how He has answered my prayers. I have peace and faith knowing that He knows the plan and as long as I continue to cling to Him, I'm gonna be in GOOD hands! ;) 

 

I just wanted to share this with you guys! God Bless you all!

What's new?

Hey guys! I hope you all are well. It's been a while since I've posted a "personal" post :P


Anyway, I've been busy working and also working on my classwork. I'm taking a few computer classes online. I switched my major from Diet. Tech program to Medical Office Administration Program. I really like this new program.


Today my best friend and I helped at a Health Fair and then went to Schlotzskys deli for lunch (yum!) ... and now I'm at home chillaxin' (Joe's word LOL) and working on my website for my Intro to Internet online class. :) Life is good. God is so good! ;)


Ya know, sometimes it seems that it can be so easy to not spend the quiet time with God like we should. I've found myself saying my prayers and thanking God and talking to Him through out my day...but I fail to spend as much time in His word than I should. I'm working on that though ;) One thing I have learned BIG TIME is there is no putting God any place other than FIRST in my life! :)


God Bless you all and I hope you have an awesome day!
