RELATION "ONE WORD"

There is an estimated 1,025,109.8 words in the English language, according to the Global Language Monitor in 2014. In this senior English class I am a part of, I was asked to pick one word for this "one word" assignment. This word was supposed to be of importance to us. It could have been a reflective word for ourselves or our senior year. This "one word" could be something of value to us for any reason. I am sure that in this class of seniors, I could not even come close to realizing the reasons people chose these words. I chose, for my "one word," "relation."

I want a better RELATION with the God that created me. I want to do whatsoever He would bid me do! The devil, we fight daily, throws, with pleasure, upon us these little whimsical desires that, if we gave in, would: pull us form God; distract us from His will; spiritually blind us from what God has for us and from what is right or wrong. Why, in any aspect, would I do the will of someone who hates my guts and wants to steal, kill, and destroy from me? I have a God that would stop the sun for my feeble existence of a man. ME!

I have a God that created every beautiful thing around us. He created all of these beautiful things and us, even the unbelievers, for our pleasure. I have a RELATION with my Lord, but any relation with Him is too far away. I want to be as close to Him as I possibly can, on this gorgeous creation of Earth that we live in. I cannot wait to see my Lord  and Savior face-to-face some glorious day. Oh, the joy and excitement of that moment. I know that without a RELATION, I won't get there, in the least.

The part of RELATION that really speaks out to me, in my RELATIONSHIP with Jesus, is that a RELATION is two-sided. God loves me more than anything, but until I can truly love him with everything He's given me, it is not even a RELATIONSHIP. RELATIONS, where do yours lie? There is only one can get us anywhere.

Spring Break free blog

During my spring break, I went to Florida and went to Disney World. It was the busiest vacation I've ever ventured on. My grandma and my pawpaw, parents of my step mother, bought plane tickets and Disney passes for eleven people, themselves, two: my uncle Justin and his family, four: and my family at my dad's, five. We all boarded the plan on the way to Disney. Multiple people, me being one of them, on this trip hadn't ever flown before, but were soon about to venture, unknown, into one of the most beautiful adventures we had ever partaken of. Just the sight above the clouds was gorgeous beyond prior belief. It was, honestly, my favorite part of the whole trip. I was simply and whole heartedly thanking God for the allowance He granted me for the view of this mighty creation the whole flight.

The trip started on the beautiful flight, but definitely did not end there. After we arrived at the landing port, we rode on a trolley to get to the departing station where we were to ride the bus, to get to the resort. My soul filled with expectancy for many things, both good and bad. My back had become sweaty and my stomach had become hungry, but we had not even reached the resort. As we finally made it to the Disney resort, Saratoga Springs, my stomach had begun to digest what was not there to digest. Therefore, my stomach was trying to eat me. 

The hotel room was very pretty and was fully furnished. I thought that was a great addition to the room. I'm positively sure that those who paid for the room made assure that we could cook and save money, according to the price that was paid. There were groceries that were ordered from a company that delivered groceries to Disney for us. I thought that was pretty awesome. I may be simply amused, but I had never seen that before. Now that we had arrived at the room, things were not yet accomplished for the day. My insides were still not appeased in the least. 

We went to a place called "Downtown Disney" that is full of shopping centers and eating commodities. We soon appeased the dictator that forcefully controls our simple lives, hunger. Needless to say, the week at Disney World, in Florida, on Spring Break was en eventful time that I doubt I will ever forget. I know that the expenses are too many for some, including me! I was so blessed with someone that paid for my trip and flight. There are many memories that go along with this emotional trip: good; bad; happy; sad; exciting; wet(soaked); and many. many more. If you can afford the rip, I highly recommend it to be on your list of "to-dos."
