The "Beavers" Journey..

“Sometimes being thankful might just means you are grateful for another day to be alive.” -Myself

Do you ever take the time out of your day to say that you are thankful for all that you have? For all my God believers out there, do you let Him know everyday that you are thankful for this life you have been given.. all the things that you have? Let’s think about something here.. if we were to lose the things that we had forgot to take the time out and be thankful for, what would we have the next day? I bet you probably don’t say your thankful every-day for your eye-sight, your hearing, your ability to speak…read, walk. I could go on and on all day, but my point is that we have SO many things to be thankful .. so many reasons to smile. As you see, I have brought God into this.. but this goes for people who don’t believe in Him as well..are you really thankful for what you have, or do you often take things for granted? I know I have..but I realized that needed to change.

“The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want” -Psalm 23:1
“The Lord hath been mindful of us:he will bless us;” -Psalm 115:12
“For all things are for YOUR sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.” -2 Corinthians 4:15

No one ever said life was easy, but is it really that hard? Be/stay blessed. Pass it on.

“Every broken heart has screamed at one time or another: Why can’t you see who I truly am?!”
-Shannon L.Alder

Unrequited love.. most of us have experienced this at least once in our life-time. Some people fall for their best friend, some for a member of the same sex, some for a person that they haven’t even been formally acquainted with, but fell in love with the person’s qualities and interests anyway. And a question that we all ask is; “What’s wrong with me?? Why can’t they accept me, for ME.” The answer to that question is that there is nothing is wrong with you, AND have you even accepted yourself? Why chase after someone that doesn’t feel the same way back, that doesn’t understand or accept you? Do you not deserve the love you give given back to you?
I may sound like a broken record here, but there really is someone out there for everybody. There are billions of personalities in the world..don’t settle on one that can’t love you back. This person you love may very well love you back even, and care very much..but sometimes it isn’t always the love you deserve back. I encourage anyone with a broken heart from unrequited love to go out and explore. When your out in the world, notice that pretty much everywhere you go, there is more than one person around you. There are many fish in the sea.. sometimes some of us have to fish longer.

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Ever notice that the shot at the doctor you were so worried about wasn’t that bad? And the next time was nothing.. Or that first break up you had tore your heart to pieces, but the next break up you were more prepared for a heartbreak, so you didn’t weep as much.. This quote holds many truths to it. Before starting to worry about pain, think about a few things. One have you been “there” before? Two, was it that bad? Three, is this even something to worry about at all? That mainly goes for emotional pain, but could easily go for physical as well. Anyone with tattoos or piercings would tell you the first time was the worst.. this is could be for many reasons such as the anxiety of going through it, the fact you have no idea what is REALLY feels like until you really get one for yourself, and that you are just so consumed in the idea it will hurt. Once you know how its going to be you have had experience in that area, and that makes you stronger. And we can all say experience (most of the time) is the best teacher. We live it, and we learn it.
Think about what other people go through on a daily basis, then think about your situation. Is it really that bad? Sure it sucks to hurt, we all get weak and have our moments..but be strong for them, be strong for you. Encourage people to keep going, share your stories..Only the strong in mind survive. And remember.. Just.Keep.Swimming.

One of these days the sky’s gonna break, everything will escape and I’ll know. One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea and they’ll know.. That you and I were made for this, I was made to taste your kiss. We were made to never fall away.

Do you ever wonder when everything will be okay? I’ve always heard the saying.. “In the end it will be okay, and if it’s not okay it’s not the end.” I feel like it will be okay after this life passes..Right now, we may be okay for the moment but with all the things we go through and deal with it’s never always “okay”.. or is it? If it will be okay in the end and nothing will matter, why can’t it be that way right now?
In this journey of finding myself, I really want to find how to be content with what I have in my current situation no matter what. I need to practice what I preach and keep my faith strong. It’s not an easy thing to do to give up all of your fears, but it’s something that has to be done in order to be happy in this place we call earth. I wanna feel happiness, I wanna taste it, embrace it. I feel the only way possible to do this is to lean on God. Seek his face and not his hand, learn what way is the right way to live. I’m angry at myself, because you could say I have “half-assed” a lot of things in my life. It’s time to stop that, I really want this change, now more than ever. There’s so many things to do, time slips away so quick and is wasted daily. We were given this life for a reason, now it’s time to figure out what that “reason” is.
