Take A Trip Through My Head haha

I was thinking today about what makes life so beautiful and how we should all make the best out of it! Who knows, if I was to get into my car and get in an accident and die, would my time here have been as precious as it should have been and did I live to the standards that would send my soul into the loving embrace of Christ? What about the people I love? Did I love them to the fullest and give them everything that I could? When it comes to love...I want to give it like Jesus did, and at the end of my life I want to know that I did EVERYTHING I could to show true love and charity to those around me.
And than I was thinking about caring what people think. So many people I know have been caught under that sad weight. Honestly, stop caring! It really will set you free! Stop being weighed down by someone else's opinion. Your you, darn it! Your not him and you most certainly aren't her, so just be you and you will find that you live the best when you are living your own life. I've been there and done that and trust me, only when you live for Christ, for love, and you do what YOU love and what inspires you, can you truly live.

And when life throws a hard one at me, I truly believe that giving up is not an option. I have been surrounded by people who fail because they except failure as an option when it is not. You'd be surprised what tough stuff our hearts, minds, and wills are made of. You know what? If you don't know that you have been defeated, you haven't been. So why not let the way you handle hardships mold your character and turn you into a strong and loving person? The first step is facing your problems. It does'nt matter if you created them or if other people are creating them for you. Somehow that pain and that problem has become yours. I used to look at any kind of pain or hurt like a stranger. Thats because I had never felt it deeply and I never knew what to do with it on my own. But I eventually did and at that moment I knew I had the choice to give it to Christ and live in peace, or break beneath its heavy weight. Why not give it all to God? Give your life to Him. Give your love to Him. Give your pain and hurt to Him. Give your joy to Him. And when you realize that His hands have been outstreched from day one...give your heart to Him and let Him embrace you! And don't let anyone convince you that giving up or being comfortable enough not to try harder, is a path to choose. That's the devil right there. Don't ever stop moving foward and growing and loving more than you did yesterday and hoping and dreaming.
And live life to the fullest...enjoy all those little gifts God gives you. For example, stop for a minute and listen to the birds singing. Maybe its sitting in the park and closing your eyes and feeling the sun on your face. Or maybe its just getting away and going fishing. Or maybe your weird like me and you get a rush from sitting on the beach, drinking coffee and enjoying a sunrise or (I hope I'm not out of place...I am an Italian) enjoying a sunset, drinking a little wine with some expresso choclate and laughing with my family.
I don't know if going from living like your going to die, to coffee, wine and choclate made any sense to you...but welcome to my crazy head haha
What I'm trying to say is: Live, Love, Laugh and do it all in the loving embrace of your Father in Heaven!!!
