I'm Back! :)


Matthew 5:16. 
This is one of my all time favorite scriptures. It says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." It has kind of become my motto for the school year, I guess. The way that I look at this scripture is that it is saying to be a positive example. That everything you do should reflect the wants of our Heavenly Father. That reminds me of a quote that says something like, Live in such a way, that others want to know Christ because they know you. I want to be that person, who strives to be like Christ in everything that they do. And believe me, I know how hard that can be. At school, people will look down on you for being different. Teenagers are ruthless, and so its hard not to just be like everyone else all the time. But honestly, I have come to love being the different girl. I LOVE knowing why I am here and where I am going. I LOVE knowing I have a Father in Heaven who loves me. I've learned that the only opinion that matters is Heavenly Father's, and knowing that brings so much happiness. 

Also, I saw this video again today and I HAD to post it on here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch it! It will make a impact on you, I guarantee it! I look up to this man so much. If everyone would strive to be more like this man, the world would be a very happy place.
