Halfway there!

Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately or commenting as much as I normally do.  I have been so busy this month with NaNoWriMo, that I really just haven’t had much time for anything else.  I made it to 25,000 words today and it feels really good to make it this far.

Thank you to a few of my friends for giving me encouragement along the way.  Especially Carl, Dustin, and D who have shown what true friendship is all about.  Thanks to you three, I think I will make it to the finish line.

It’s been much harder to concentrate on writing the last few days after hearing about France and all that they are dealing with at the moment.  My love and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones and I just hope and pray that there won’t be any more attacks.

Switchfoot – This is Your Life

~ ~M ~ 15 Comments

This song has been playing in the back of my mind for a couple of days now.  Are you who you want to be?  If not, make the change!

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken

Don’t close your eyes,
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose

Hang in there!

Have you ever noticed that when people start to doubt themselves, others start to doubt them as well?

So, here is my quote for the day…

“If you believe in yourself, others will believe in you too.” ~M

Third Day – Revelation

~ ~M ~ 4 Comments

Third Day was the first band that I ever saw in concert.  Their message was a blessing to me in a time when my life was a horrible mess.  I hope you will find strength in these words.  Everyday, I must seek Jesus for the hope and strength that I need to sustain me in a world that is quickly fading.  Jesus is the only way if you are searching for the truth.   He will show you the way.  I know, because He showed me and I am forever changed because of His love.
