He Placed the Stars in the sky and knows them by name...

Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice and let me sing
always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as You choose.

Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for Thee.

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour
at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.

Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for Thee.

Crafts...

Recently I decided that I needed to take a break from cross stitching and find something else entertaining to create. There is a quaint little store in Cashiers, NC that my family visits when we travel there that has quite a collection of handmade items. One set of items in particular that has very much so captured our interest in previous years is that of these adorable hand made button/block dolls. We have collected everything from the full cast of Wizards of Oz to Mr. and Mrs. Clause and The Grinch. Last week I decided to attempt at making my own with hopes to maybe join that business. Keep in mind that these are my first attempts and are far from perfect but hopefully I will get better with each doll. Enjoy and GO DAWGS.

Negativity.

Recently, I have become extremely aware of things or people around me with a great deal of negativity. It has become increasingly harder for me to just ignore it and let it slip by. I just can not for the life of me see how its possible for anyone to find joy in being negative. Understandably people deal with stress and events of life differently than others but seriously how does it benefit the person or the people around that person to be negative all the time. I can not think of any good out comes that we get from being negative. Sure I have been negative but I am not talking about the occasional stress or event that causes it. I am talking specifically about the people who just can not seem to figure out that even though something might be taking place that is unfair, it feels better to try and find the positive side to everything negative. I think learning to do that goes along with learning to be patient and letting God show you the positive side to everything negative. It seems to me like a majority of the big picture God is trying to teach His children ties back to learning to be patient. That will help me to be patient with the negative people and show them how much better it feels to learn to be positive.

Any who that was my lessen for the day. September is here! yay! that means football and pumpkins and turkeys and my birthday! Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year! Hopefully this fall will be one of the best ones yet. Well the only thing left to say is GO DAWGS! Hope everyone has a blessed week!

Patience

"Patience is a virtue."

That saying has been ingrained in my head since I was young enough to understand the general concept. But not until these past few months have I truly understood it. To be patient is to fully allow yourself to trust God and wait for His direction without attempting to make your path go the way you think it should. In the past few months I have made big decisions regarding my future school wise. Currently, I am waiting to hear whether or not I will be making a change school wise this coming spring. Being patient on this is one of the hardest patient waiting games i have ever had to play. To be honest, until last night I have been doing a horrible job. It was making me stressed and irritable, and in general antsy.

Laying in bed last night, the saying "patience is a virtue" kept playing over and over again in my head. I realized that this waiting game has been a lesson for me. Patience is really one of the biggest blessings God can grant a person in life. Understanding this blessing is another blessing in its self. Learning how to wait without wondering constantly what the next step is lets us live our life without being afraid to make a wrong choice that was stressfuly thought out and handled. If we give that process of making choices to God and let Him handle it for us we would feel so much more free and happy. He wants to bless us by relieving our fears, anxiety, and stressful hazardous thinking. What a great blessing.

I think many things in this past year contributed to the discovery of this amazing gift from God. So yes patience is a virtue but there is also a gift hidden in that, a gift that allows us to be virtuous. A gift that relieves fear and worry. Patience is a great thing. It takes work but its work that will end in a Blessing. So instead of praying for a fast decision I am going to pray for patience and the strength to be patient.

Back to school again...

Tomorrow is officially back to school day. That sounds so terrible. I am actually excited for school to start though so its not all that bad. These last few weeks have been crazy getting ready to go back and other happenings. I have been trying to come up with a few things to work on this fall to help me grow in God. Recently I read the book "The Shack," if you have not read it, you need to it is defiantly a must read. In the book there is a section on judging other people and it really got to me. I did not realize how many times a day and how easy judging comes to everyone. It is really one of the main things people thrive on in life. So this fall is going to be my time to become very aware of my judging.


I am excited to make new friends and learn new things. I am also so happy it is finally football season yay! Well there is a lot more I would love to say but I need to get ready for school. So my final thoughts for the night are to God -
Dear Lord, please bless me and all my friends as we start our school year. Keep us safe and grounded and bless us with your teachings. Help us to stay on the right path and if we stray guide us back. Thank you Lord for all you give to us. Amen

Reasons...

I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now but had no idea what I would write about. I love reading friends blogs and knowing what is happening in people's lives that I can not talk to every day. I finally decided that I wanted to start my own after deciding that it wasn't necessary to have to write about a certain topic and that I could actually just write about anything. So this is my random thoughts, ideas, and life stories put on to "paper" for anyone who cares.



The title of my blog might need some explaining. Anyone that knows me knows that I am an avid Miley Cyrus fan mostly because of her amazing songs. Earlier this year she released a song called "The Climb. It talks about life's ups and downs and how even when we are going through the roughest times, we always need to have faith and keep on going because it will get better. I love songs with good lyrics and this one in particular has really spoken to me. So this blog is about my life's climb. I have no idea if anyone will actually read this but its more for me to put my thoughts down than anything. So enjoy and keep the faith.

James 1:2-4

2:Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3:because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4:Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
