Pinocchio

A fake human.. A wooden puppet. Ahh what a movie! Im a real boy!! Not. This makes me think about how sometimes we aren't true to ourselves about who we really are. We try to act one way to fit into a certain click of people. We become fake.. And sometimes lose those most important to us.

I've journeyed down that road before, and let's just say, it's a dump. You find yourself doing things that don't really fit and are uncomfortable to you. Luckily my relationship with God, my over securitized mom and car junkie dad, and a very special Haley sampson always keep me in perfect pitch with who I really am.

Often we can become this way in our faith. We begin doing things just to say we did them. We dont breathe them in. We go through the motions and act like Christians, while in the inside we know we are as fake as 2012's effects. Dive deep, taking in all that you can. God has a lot to offer.. For free. No contracts involved.. Though after you accept Him you might find yourself doing things in His name for Him!

Never become fake with your relationships. You can often hurt yourself, hurt others, and lead people astray.

you are the love I need

"Oh how He loves us" .. Wonderful lyrics that are so true. God has done so much for us, and it really is amazing how much He loves us. It gives me chills to think about it. I love to praise Him for everything he has blessed me with and every struggle He has allowed me to go through even though it wasn't so enjoyable; which brings me to the topic of worship.

God deserves the praises we sing to Him. He has blessed everyone of us with so much; it's so astounding. Each of us have been blessed with talent; some with very unique talents. Its an easy way to minister to others. Our special talents can be used to glorify and bring praise to our wonderful Savior. After all, look at what was done for us.

Oh God, let my voice and everything I do glorify You and all of Your worth.

Oh and just for an added note - the sunset.
