God, our Lord and Savior is always with us. It's always important to think of him first and know that he is always there for us. He accepts us for who we are even when we are in the wrong. If you are wondering how to become closer to our awesome leader, continue reading, please.

1. Pray

Praying is probably the first step into becoming closer to God. Set aside some time each day and pray to him about what is on your mind. Don't just pray about things that you want or need, but pray about all the happy things that are going on in your life right now as well. Also, pray for others as well. It is truly amazing to see what praying does and that having an effect on other people. It makes you feel even closer to God because you can see that his presence is so strong through everyone and he is thinking about others 24/7. Come together with others and pray. It is a good way to pray about important things going on and it gives you a good opportunity to talk to others and build your spirits together in Christ.

2. Talk to him

Yes, simply talk to him. I know praying is talking to him, but also try actually regular talking to him. Just like you call your earth dad on the phone, start talking to God about your day. You can talk to him about anything and not be judged. You may actually feel better doing that at times instead of going to your earth peers first. Incorporate Christ in your daily routine. If you have specific thoughts that are going through your head, let them out to him. We are always subconsciously talking to ourselves about different stuff that goes on through our day. It really makes a difference always putting God there in the middle of your internal conversations with yourself. May feel weird at first but it really does build that connection of him literally walking with you every step of the way and guiding you.

3. Christian music

Not only is music in general soothing for a lot of things, but adding Christianity to the mix makes the listening even more spiritual. There is something about singing that makes God's word really come alive. The lyrics to the songs really touch your heart and it puts you on a music high. It brings you into a reality that God is real and that his spirit is alive. This also gives you a good opportunity to put your singing skills to the test! I'm joking! By singing, you are putting the words inside your heart and it makes you more sustainable to believing what is being said in the songs. It also makes you feel very pumped and engaged in another way of interacting with Christ. So what are you waiting for... get to singing!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
