God Gives you what you want when you need it

Don't settle for less than God's best

God Gives you what you want when you need it

God gives you what you need, when you need it.

He gives you who you need, when you need them.

Not when you want it, not when you think you need it, but in his own perfect timing.

His timing is so perfect that when it does happen, and your prayer/s are answered, you will stand back and think "wow' that was so perfect."

If He doesn't give you who you want, understand that He has His reasons, and you are getting a much better person than you could ever imagine.

If He doesn't give you what you want, understand He has much bigger plans for your life than you could've ever dreamed of.

Understand He is a good good father and only wants the absolute best for all of us!

He isn't going to leave you in the middle of a storm, and take everything away, just because.

He is putting you through that storm, as a lesson, and something that can be added to your testimony. Our struggles turn others into Christ followers.

God starts slowly taking things and people away when you have your priorities mixed up or if they no longer fit in your story.

Everything happens for a reason, and that's life.

Whatever storm or season you may be in your life, understand that Jesus is there right by your side, don't lose sight of your faith.

It's all you have, and God's the only permanent person in your life.

Don't settle for less than the best straight from God himself!

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."

I still remember the days I prayed for the things that I have now, and I know that God will soon answer my prayers for the rest of it, in His own perfect time.

Staying patient is hard sometimes, but anything worth having is worth the wait, especially when its sent straight from Heaven.

Yes, God gives you what you want, only if He thinks you need it.

God gives you the best, so why not wait? Don't settle for less.

Stay in contact with God, always.

Never lose sight of your faith on your journey, no matter the path you take, or how hard it is.

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.
