Pray, Love, Reflect

Isn't it funny how we open up to certain people throughout our lifetime?  We open our feelings, thoughts, and emotions to people for no apparent reason, and we call these people friends.  These friends have the ability to cause a range of emotions from happiness to sadness, and have the ability to cause worry and aggravation. Many times we open up to these people just to be let down simply because of our sinful nature.  We allow many circumstances to pull us away from what matters the most such as the love of family and most of all the love of God.  Situations such as these are just one of the aspects of life that can have this tugging effect on our lives.  Other scenarios include work, school ,and relationships.  Working in retail has been one of the most indefinite and engrossing parts of my life thus far, but also one of the most fulfilling and enlightening.  Through having such a demanding job during the holiday season, along with school and trying to maintain a healthy relationship with my Fiancée , it has helped to unfold what is truly important in life.  Relationships throughout life are nothing more than a double sided care for one another, and without both of these sides a relationship cannot last.  These relationships are not worth the worry, just as our jobs and schooling are not worth the worry.  Embrace who is willingly in your life, love the ones you have conflict with, and never give up on someone.  Our God has the power to change, redeem, and replenish, just as he has done in every Christ followers life. Wisdom comes from trial and error throughout ones life, and with every trial comes more wisdom.  When it comes down to the wire, we are called to love the ones in our life and pray for the ones that aren't, and have the faith that goes along with all of this.  Pray, Love, Reflect.
