Yesterday I went with my youth group skiing! It was awesome fun!!!
It was my first time ever skiing and I REALLY enjoyed it! Guess what!!!
I didn't fall once on the hill!!! But I fell many times just trying to walk in my skis though. That was never fun because both of my skis would get tangled up so then I couldn't stand up.
It was an awesome time though! I didn't just stay on the bunny hill like I thought I would! I actually went on one of the biggest hills!!!! I love the feel when going down the big hills REALLY fast and thinking "Oh! Am I going to make it to the bottom!!?" It is just so intense!I love it! ;) Does any one agree with me?
And I also LOVE hearing your skis on the snowy hills and that soft noise that I don't know how to explain :)
Now the ski lifts were one of my favorite things! I love getting on them and going down the line but I do not like at all getting off of it!!! SCARY!!!! I was always afraid I was not going to get off fast enough and was going to go underneath it!
Now the big four seat ski lifts that take you up to the big hills are the best! They go super fast up the mountain and you are really high up! Love it! (I like heights) ;) And since you're going so fast it's really easy to get off of it!!
My youth leader fell on one of the bigger hills and lost her cell phone! It was horrible! But my other leader is a REALLY good skier and can do tricks and stuff found her cell phone! We were all praising God for that! And for keeping us all safe on the hills. Yes some of us did get bruises but no broken bones!
I'm sorry to say I took no pictures the whole day :( But maybe another time!
Ski boots are not at all fun to walk in! No way! You stand forward in them and your shins on your legs hurt horribly because the boot is pushing against your shins.
So now I have sore legs and sore neck and arms. But I am not complaining!
For I would take sourness all winter to go skiing again!! Yes skiing is awesome! And it is one of my favorite things to do now! On the ride home it felt like the car was going to tip because I was so use to being on the skis :) And my legs at every turn were acting like they were still in the skis trying to move back and forth like you are suppose to ski :)
It was an enjoyable time for sure! I am very blessed to not have a bruise or any broken bones from skiing. (Just sourness) LOL!
Don't be afraid to comment dear friends! I won't bight :) LOL
God Bless you on your journey towards Him!

~Tell me your Thoughts~ Day four.
Let your light shine in the dark...
Sometimes I think to myself, "What do I look like to nonbelievers? Does my light shine for Jesus? Or am I looking like I'm all about myself". I am regularly asking myself that question. I do hope my light is shining for Him!! Have you ever asked yourself that question? And why? Please comment your thoughts on this...
Sorry this post is so short! I didn't know what else to write! Sorry!
And by the way, this is the last post for ~Tell me your thoughts~ posts! So...yeah ;)
God Bless!

Love is here, love is now...
Happy Valentine's Day Friends! Isn't Valentine's day a fun holiday?!
Love is like a river flowing always to you ready to tell you how much you are cared for by the Creator. Love is not against you out to harm you but is always here for you when you are hurting and is on your side. Love is beautiful, love is gentle, love was made by Him, the Creator. Love is amazing, love is graceful always in you at anytime.
Love is like a rose blooming with beauty to set your heart on fire for Him, the Creator.
Love is peaceful, love is sweet. You can not live without that love always coming down from heaven like rain on a sunny day. Love is real, love is here.
Love is yours, love is mine, love is made by Him, the Creator.
Can you imagine love flowing like a river in a desert like I imagine so?
Love is here, love is now...
These simple words just started swarming in me. I couldn't help but follow my heart and write them down for you to read. Maybe someday soon I will make this in to a song!
Yes, I probably haven't told you but I write music! I have written I don't know how many songs. I hope one day I will be able to get my songs out there for people to listen to!
I think God's plane for my life is to write music and get it out there for hurting people to listen to. For I feel for people who are hurting, and music means a lot in my life so I hope my songs will mean a lot to people too! Maybe even bring them to Christ!
So yes that is my plane and goal in life!
Well, I hope you are having a good Valentine's Day!
God Bless you on your journey towards His light!

~Tell me your Thoughts~ Day Three
Deuteronomy 6:5
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
That verse is a good one to remember in your life. It is one of God's greatest commandments. To love your Lord your God with everything you do. Sometimes we get so caught up in what we are busy with that we forget about loving our great God with ALL our heart and ALL our soul and with ALL our might. Yes, it is way to easy to get caught up in life. But there is a way to bring God into your life even you know your SO busy. Here is the key to it, stop making yourself so busy. It's kind of our doing to make ourselvs so busy, it's our excuse to not have time to talk with God. But we can stop this though! Take the time in your everyday life to stop and talk to God and ask Him for His guidance in what to do that day. Give Him your burdens and the stuff you stress about everyday. He will gladely take care of that for you. I have to say you will feel ALOT better giving your busy life to God. You will feel so much lighter by lifting those burdens off of you and giving them to Him.
But you might be like "but Lizzie! you are saying to give God all your burdens! Why give them to Him!? He is the King! Don't give your burdens to Christ! We should serve Him not say here take all this it's to heavy!"
No that is not what it's like. Listen to these key words, when you give your burdens to Him He won't hold them for you. He will throw them away because there is NO use for them. And another thing, He wants you to give Him your stress and burdens because when we do we can see God SO much better! We actually have our eyes fixed on HIM! Not our everyday life!!!!!!
Am I making sense? I hope I am! Because this is true stuff!
If you have any questions on this subject please email me at
here4reachingout@gmail.com I will try to help you understand what I mean.
By the way this post I'm not trying at ALL to put a guilt trip on you!! This is NOT my point to make you feel like you are doing everything wrong. I'm writing this post to encourage you! God has put this on my heart to write this for you. Just to encourage you in your walk towards Him! I know in my everyday life sometimes I get so busy with my life I feel like I don't have time to talk to God. But I have to stop and put my eyes on Him! I'm here for you!
God Bless you on your journey towards Him!

~Tell me your thoughts~ Day Two
With a word God made the heavens and the earth and all that is in them...
Just think of that! With a WORD He made the stars in the sky! With a WORD He made the dirt! With a WORD He made the EARTH! How cool is that?! He didn't have to swing a wand and sing a song to make everything! No! He spoke and it was made!
Can you even imagine how powerful He is to do that? Sometimes we take His power for granted. We say "hey you! i want this, get me it!" but we shouldn't treat Him like that at all! He is NOT some one to treat like your dolly! We should PRAISE Him and HONOR Him and SERVE Him in ALL that we do!
Sometimes we think He can't answer a big prayer. We don't have FAITH in Him.
We think He is only so big. But is that how we should think of God? NO WAY! Guess what?! He MADE the heavens and the earth and EVERYTHING in them with a WORD! It's amazing!!!!!!!!
Sometimes we pray a big prayer and He doesn't answer it right away.
Does that mean He isn't listening to your prayer. No! He hears EVERY PRAYER YOU PRAY!
But sometimes we ask something that isn't possible for our future to happen. Or maybe He does answer your prayer but just not how you thought of it being answered.
But He makes all plans for your life. Plans for wholeness not for evil.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with your whole heart, I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile".
Isn't that verse a good reminder showing how loving God is and shows who is in control? I just love that verse. It seems when ever I feel like nothing is going my way I open my Bible and what verse do you think I turn to? Jeremiah 29:11-14. EVERY TIME! It's amazing how God speaks directly to you through His word! That is why it is SO important to ALWAYS read your Bible because God is in it! Well, I hope you are having an awesome day! But if you are not having a good day and feel defeated like I did yesterday feel free to email me at here4reachingout@gmail.com I will pray for you! But just know if you are feeling like that, DON'T BELIEVE THAT AWFUL LIE!!! It is the dark one telling you that you are not worth anything, but it is NOT true! You are worth more than the world to God! He created you and LOVES you! Remember that ALWAYS!
God bless you on your journey towards Him!
