Who do you want in your life?

I'm basing this off of a Devo from Chad Eastham in Inside Out: Our Stories, Our Faith in 40 Devotions, called "Who's Who and Whose"

I have great news! You get to decide who you want in your life. Sure there will be some who you don't have much of a say in, like your family, your pets, etc. But for the most part, you do!

Maybe you're one of those people who are always trying to impress someone else. Well forget about trying to figure out what they want out of you and figure out who you are and who you want to be. When you like yourself and you have confidence in yourself other people will see that and they will be attracted to you too.

Now don't go out and about saying "I'm so awesome!" or "Don't I look great today?" I'm not talking about being stuck up and conceited. I'm telling you to know your worth because you know who created you! And God never makes mistakes! We are all beautiful, unique and God has a special purpose for each of our lives.

"When you know both who you are and whose you are, it shows in your life. And that confidence, that attitude, becomes a strong, positive magnet that attracts others to you. It's what makes you lovable. That's how you get to decide who's in your life and how you're treated." - Chad Eastham

About me and my blog

So, I'm going to take this oppurtunity to tell you about myself and this blog.

I'm a teenage girl who is absolutely in love with her Creator, God. He's everything to me! I would be soo lost with out him. I also really love music. I sing, play guitar and piano, and write songs. I also hope someday to become a Christian musician or a worship minister becuase I believe that music can have such an effect on people. I always feel closest to God when I'm singing a great worship song. I also have many other interests. I like a lot of things and am very versatile. Some of the other things I like to do are acting, playing volleyball, reading, scrapbooking, designing, and pretty much anything that will let me use my creativity. I love watching TV and movies, going to concerts, and just listening to music.

In this blog I will try to post regularly. As I read books and devotions, or listen to sermons or an awesome song, I'll fill you in on my opinion and the different things I learn in hopes that it will help you too. I'll tell about experiences that I have whether it's something life-changing, funny, or even just terrible, hoping to bring impact, no matter how small to your life.

Also, I want to hear your thoughts. I might sometimes ask for opinions or to hear about an experience you've had. And even if I don't ask, I'd still love to hear about it. Anytime you want advice, have a question or just need prayer, let me know and I'll try to help in the best way that I can.

Well, that's pretty much all I have for now. I hope you enjoy my blog and that it helps to bring you closer to God. I hope that you can see all the fun it can be to live as a Christian and how awesome it feels to have such a wonderful Father in heaven who will always be there for you and who will love you no matter what.
