In God We Trust
To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
These verses were on my mind for a while. There has been quite a lot of complaining going on. Why complain? God knows what he's doing. He's got a time for everything and everyone, and has a purpose for everything he does. There is a reason for war, for death, for sorrow, and for loss! For instance, there was a reason I was in the car accident. Afterwards, I realized there was a reason I was alive. God has a purpose for my life. I continue to search for God's will, to this day. I screw up sometimes, very true. But God picks me back up every time and we continue our walk together.So I guess, I'm saying God can be trusted. He knows what he's doing. In God we trust.

Organization
Today I discovered how disorganized I really am. Not just how messy my room was before I cleaned it. Also, my priorities have slowly gotten covered with worldly filth. So I am writing a blog to help motivate me. First thing I want to do is find a morning routine that will incorporate God so I am motivated to get up in the morning. Another thing that needs to be done is a healthier lifestyle. I am so sick all the time and I'm tired of it. So I asked a friend for help. Ashley Williams gave me this advice: "well basically I eat as much raw natural food as I can. Eat lots of veggies, fruits, and whole grains. I don't eat pork at all and eat very little beef. Eat mostly chicken and turkey. Also, stay away from carbonated drinks, simple sugars, and fried foods. Of course, I do eat them on occasion as a treat, but as a rule not more than a couple times a week. Also, don't eat late at night that is bad for your body. And stay away from foods you are allergic to. And make sure you are getting all your vitamins, the chew kind because they will digest. This seems like a really strict diet but I've found this is what keeps me feeling good and provides a lot of energy. If you get hungry for a snack, I suggest peanut butter. I eat it all the time, it's a great source of protein. And if your immune system starts feeling low... Drink a vitamin rich drink... There's one that's called Naked that always makes me feel better. I hope this helps! =)" It's quite a tall order but I will do it with God's help! Also I need to exercise more! I am starting to gain wait which I haven't done since I was in elementary. I feel if I live healthier in my body I will be able to keep my mind healthy and my soul. I still have not come up with an idea for my morning routine but if I do I will certainly post about it! And now begins the war...
