Honestly, I didn't think I'd ever become a blogger type of person... Though, maybe I have since this is my 100th post!
Wow ~ life is seeming to be going by so very quickly! Although a wise man once said:
"Time is what prevents everything from happening at once."
Though lately it seems as if much is happening at once...HA! - Too much maybe. Though being bored isn't too great either; so I'm not complaining!
A subject that has been "chewing" over on me lately is: FAMILY
1~Family - VS - Friends
2~Family - VS - God/Faith/Truth
3~Family - VS - The "right" thing
I am big on having real family in ones life.

Even as much as we are "related" and as much as we dearly love our families; they are humans, and so are we. We cannot expect more then what we are able to do ourselves. So what do we do when circumstances arise and we have to choose...? What do we do then?
Family VS ________ (fill in the blank)
*Do we choose family so that we have someone on our side for later on if things arise against us, (the old cliche` blood runs thicker then water)?
*Do we side with neither but fight with our family?
*Do we choose the side of whomever/whichever is right?
What???
I think it depends on the level of seriousness the issue is on. That right there is a tough-ie also... How does one judge "seriousness?"
It isn't like there is a ruler with a color coded measuring devise, to show you where everything in life lies, on the scale of serious! Everyone is very different in their own way, and has different opinions about many things in life. What one might consider to be serious, may not be to someone else... even in a family.
Also, I think it depends on how you choose to live your life. No matter if you live on the right side, left side, the calmer and peaceful side, or the exciting and fast side. Either way, it could become a tough decision for one to make.
Though it is interesting the decisions people make when it comes to their families.... Not letting themselves see black and white because of love.... Letting the line blur into a grey mess... And being dissatisfied, feeling guilty, and miserable because they didn't make the right choice.
THAT'S WHY....
It is important to
~Pray, and pray in the HOLY GHOST!
~Fast
~Read the Holy Bible, God's Word to us
~Listen to your Man of God
~Be a DOER and a HEARER of the preached word
~Ask God to lead, and guide you, and direct your steps
...Simple thoughts from a simple girl...
Hi, Miss Brianna! These are thoughts you will ponder for years down the road. You will make decisions regarding your family now, then you will get married. You will then need to make them about your husband and his family. Around the same time your brothers and your husband's siblings will be getting married; adding to the family... then you will all begin having children! The cycle continues:) You have things in prospective- keep God first. People are not always as reliable as we hope, but GOD will never let us down! Stay faithful to Him, sweet girl. I love you!
