Hey everyone.
Well today was one of many things. One of mixed emotions for sure. It had its ups and downs but i came out on top. For many reasons, one because, i messd up again today but after all was aid and done.....and i talked to some people i was good. we all make mistakes we all forget things right? So ya talked to some people...one in particular got me smiling again which was nice. then it was off to my moms surprise party, she will be forty next week, we got her good it was funny. So overall my day ened up being pretty good. Bad things always have a way of turning themselves around. I think today was meant to show me that nothing is perfect and now matter how hard i try to make it that way..things go wrong and in the end you just gotta go with it..work things out and move on. Like i said..falling is how you learn to fly. Sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad. I mean i was tidying my room today and i came across my dads book. Its called Scars Dont Hurt. and i read the title and i really got thinking about how true it is. I mean scars, sure they are there you see them...they remind you of falls you have had....but thats all they are. They are memories.....they are the times that brought you to where you are...sure they hurt, sure they were cuts but in the end cuts heal, and are all but a simple reminder of how you stayed strong even when it hurt. Reminders of things we've done..things that have hurt us..hurt other people...reminders of some of the tough time..but in the end they are just scars....they dont hurt they are just stepping stones that got you to where you are. And you come to appreciate them....for what they are....

Hey Abbey

It is too bad to hear that you messed up again. It is good to hear that you talked to some people and you are smiling again.

Here is a verse I read on Friday after worship before my talk may it will have about. It says:
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." (Ps 91:14-16)

I read it from the MSG on Friday so it might sound different now.

This is God speaking and He says because you love Him, He will help you. When we call to Him, He will help. When we make mistakes He is there to help us so we can handle them. When we are trouble we can call to Him and He will come to help us out.

we make mistakes but we have someone that can come and help us out and handle them.

That is one great thing about God on top of everything else He keeps doing for us. Like giving us forgiveness when we make these mistakes too.
Keep trying and learn from the mistakes too. I make mistakes all the time but I try to learn from them so I do not do the same one again.

Thanks
