For God is the essence of it all in our lives

As I lay here on this breeze night listening to Christian music on the background, I begin reflecting on my life, all that I have gone through. Then, this song begins to speak to me. My minds starts going 100mph. I knew then that God had spoken to me through the lyrics of this song. It was then I realized the time has come, to make my comeback a great one.

I know now more then ever I’ve been put here on this earth to do just this. To help others grow in their faith in God, to give people hope for what tomorrow may bring through my testimony, and encourage my readers. God knows I have so much to give through it, so much that it needs to be put out there.

Life has been quite the ride for us all I’m sure, it's like a series of events; the moments shared, the people we encounter along the way, all those things in between is what keeps it so interesting. These things are all meant to be a part of our growing up process, so I’ve learned.

I owe it all to God, for giving me this life for waking me up, and giving me another chance at life. Not just to breathe in the fresh air of a new day but for giving me a new day to actually start over again. A new day to be a better person then I was yesterday, a second chance on the person he wants me to be in this world. I know now more then ever that he doesn’t waste anything I have been through in life. Not the good and certainly not the bad.

I know some of you may say, “well..how can that be?" But, In order to ever see it this way you have to allow yourself to believe, to have faith and trust in God. I assure you that just then you will witness Gods love for you. God is never blind to your tears, never deaf to your prayers, never silent to your pain. He sees and hears everything, therefore he will deliver when the moment and time is right. There’s this saying that says you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. Well, God says “ Any one who wants to save their life will lose it; but anyone who loses their life for my sake will find it.” Matthew 16:25.

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.
