No Excuses..

But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil

Simply tell the truth, make no excuses. I know that it is sometimes difficult to be truthful and it easier to simply make an excuse for things. I am going to continue to tell the truth and not make excuses. Life is short so why not be truthful.


But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

I also know when someone hurts me I always want to say words back or show actions of how hurt I am. But Christ always turned his cheek to his enemies or people who did not agree or believe Christ was Christ. I am learning from him to turn my cheek.


Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two..Give to him who asks of you, & do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you..

When someone really needs you or really wants you to something and makes you do it, show that you will do it plus some more. Sacrifice all you can :)


But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5

Love your enemies and pray for those who hurt you. This is not easy but will help in the long run. Do not treat enemies badly because then you are giving in. This is hard for me sometimes but I am going to make this change.



AAccept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:7

This verse was a slap to my face. I try to accept people but sometimes I do not because of the their actions and the way they treat people. But Christ accepted me, and died for me and I cant accept someone because they treat people wrongly. How is that even right? My small group, Ice-cream Bandits (haha loving the name) we discussed how you should accept them for who they are, even if you do not agree with their actions. I am going towards this direction. I am going to be more forgiving, more accepting, and more understanding. I know I am not perfect and I know I will make mistakes but I am going to try hard to accept people for them even if they are mean and rude to everyone. Lord, help me be strong. Like the picture below, we accept nature for the way it is, I am going to accept people for who they are because God made them that way.

Just a List...

Life has many lessons in life. Some learned by trial and error, some learned from others examples, some learned from pain and hurt, some learned from happiness and thrill. Lessons can even be learned by something new or something old.



Take life by the horns, literal or not, enjoy it. Every chance you can get.



Enjoy the gifts God has put on our planet earth for us. Stand out side and look at the sky, grass, flowers, and butterflies.



Dance to no music only to the rhythm of your heart <3



Be open to the world around you



Try new things. (just dont force yourself)



Always give a helping hand. Open a door, say hi to a stranger, pick up something someone has dropped, something simple can make someones day and can go a very long way. :)



Listen to all the music you can.



Read a book in an open field.



Climb a tree and look at the clouds.



Sometimes when you feel like giving up, remember giving up is harder then going on with life. Life is not always easy but it is always an adventure.



Use your best dishes, cook extravagantly, wear your best clothes, light candles and turn out the lights. :)



Eat what you want, even if it is not healthy

What appears to be the end may really be a new beginning.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.



Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been, and look at what can be



The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.



There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting.



Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.



You will never win if you never begin.



Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way.



You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.



Every wall is a door.



A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.



Whatever you can do, or dream you can, Begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it, Begin it now.



Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped



Live out of your imagination, not your history.



Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which at least others can learn from.



I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then



Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose



It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces.



Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time



Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars



Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.



One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it



If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.



It is never too late to be who you might have been.



If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.



Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain!
