Ok so I have a question, and if you can answer, please do so, 'cause I'd like to know.
I'd like to know how you're supposed to react when your little brother is being a pain. Not just annoying, oh no, but telling you to shut up every 5 seconds, especially when you're barely saying anything, or if you're not talking to him at all. Like just now, he was holding Gold Bond creme stuff and I asked him why, he said because he had bug bites. Since he said that, I was going to tell him about a guy I know who literally got bug bites ALL OVER his body! It's crazy! You should see it. Anyways, right as I said, "Dude, I know this..." he interrupts and says, "Shut up Addie! Don't talk to me!" and of course, I responded in a way that I probably shouldn't of, but I said, "No Andrew, you're not the boss of me" So he keeps telling me to shut up and I keep saying no so he tries to kick me and threatens to hit me because he's mad. So how am I suppose to react to that? Am I suppose to just do as he says and make him think that he's my boss and has control over me? I don't think that's the answer either. So please, if you have a really good answer, please please PLEASE let me know because I'm all out of ideas and I'm tired of being mad and frustrated with this.
I've tried praying about this over and over again but nothing seems to come. It's VERY irritating and I have no clue or idea what to do!!!!!!! Please help me!!!!!!!

Living for Today
I'm going to make my post today short 'n' sweet :)
God has really opened my eyes today. Not really to anything specific but just living one day at a time and loving life. Even if you're cleaning up the house and everything. :) I found joy in that today. Doing the dishes, laundry, and cleaning my room. I feel accomplished and I actually really enjoyed it. :)
If you're rushing through the day, stressed by how much you have to get done, or if you're anxious for the next day to come, please take a moment to breathe deeply and see the day God has given you with a new set of eyes. Because each day is a gift from above and you won't ever get that day back. We will never have Tuesday, July 13, 2010 ever again. So please, make the most of it. :)

True Love
I challenge you to read this whole thing. :)
1 Corinthians 13
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
This chapter, as you can see, is all about love. Now whenever I always thought of this verse, I always thought of this is how we're supposed to treat other people. Which is 100% correct. However, I never thought about that this is also how I should treat my family. We're around our families all the time so we don't always think to treat them how we would treat our friends. So I want to make this my challenge, and yours if you choose, to treat my family the same way, by being patient, kind, not jealous, not boasting, not being proud, rude, self-seeking, easily angered, or keeping record of wrongs. Not delight in evil but rejoicing in the truth, I'm going to try to always be protecting, trusting, hoping, and persevering. :) I make this my challenge not to only treat my friends and everyone else this way, but also my family. :)
Thanksgiving-
#2: I'm thankful for love. Many people mistake infatuation for love. If you don't know what infatuation means, I encourage you to go look it up. But real love is all of the things listed in the verses above. Nobody's perfect, no one can do all of these things all the time. But God can. God is the only one with the perfect love. And I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful that God has perfect love and that He wants us to experience it so much that He gave it to us, by sending Jesus to die on the cross. The most perfect love, the most perfect sacrifice, anyone could EVER give just so we can experience true love with Him. <3 True love DOES exist. <3 It's up to you whether you want to receive it.
