Dont be so afraid, its only life.

Sometimes in life we get scared , you know.

Scared to show who we really are with the fear of non exceptance.
Scared to meet knew people, because of being shy.
Scared to follow our dreams because of the fear of failing.
Scared to fall in love, with the fear of falling out of love.
Scared to take a step forward, because of the fear of moving on.
Scared to be infront of a huge crowd, because of the fear of humiliation.
Scared to show people what you really believe in, because the fear of being judged.
Scared to go out in public with no make-up on, because the fear of other people's oppinions.
Scared to accel in something with the fear of falling when more challenges come.
Scared to stand up for yourself, because the fear of not standing up enough.
Scared of holding onto someone or something like a dream because you know what its like to lose it.
Scared to let go of the past, because the fear of forgetting.


We are people who constantly live in fear, when really we dont need to.
Fear is just a word,
it doesnt have to be something real in your life.
Try not to be scared of things like these things. We only live once, and if we all live in fear for the rest of our lives, then we wont see the bright side of things.

Get rid of your fear,
and step forward.
Keep your faith&hope in the things you might be scared of.

Dont be so afraid. Its only life.
And life is only what you make it.

..Nh' im keeping my hope and faith..

Everything happens for a reason, People change so you can learn to let go.

Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when there right,

You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.

Some good things fall apart, so better things can fall together.

The ones you love that are always there for you, are the ones you know were put in your life for a reason, and the ones that you can always trust.

"Here I Go Again"

Father, hear my prayer

I need the perfect words

Words that he will hear

And know they're straight from you

I dont know what to say

I only know it hurts

To see my only friend slowly fade away

So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life

With your fire in my eyes

But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words

What am i so afraid of?

'Cause here i go again

talking 'bout the rain

And mulling over things that won't live past today

And as i dance around the truth

Time is not his friend

This might be my last chance to tell him

That you love him

But here i go again, here i go again

Lord, you love him so, You gave your only son

If he will just believe; he will never die

But how then will he know what he has never heard

Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

This might be my last chance to tell him

That you love him

This might be my last chance to tell him

That you love him

You love him, you love him

What am i so afraid of

What am i so afraid of

What am i so afraid of?

How then will he know

What he has never heard

What are you so afraid of?

Fear of Not!

"For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind."

2 Timothy 1:7

Dont let fear come into your life and destroy it,
Be strong through life, and try not to let fear be a big part in your life, infact keep it out.
It is not necessary.
think to yourself,

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall i fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whome shall i be afraid?
Psalm 27:1

Anything is possible in this life if you have him in yours.
Dont let things come between you, and your father in heaven, Dont let fear come between you and God.
The fear of being made fun of, the fear of being dissapointed, the fear of losing friends, the fear of learning the truth, the fear of lies, the fear of courage and taking big steps, and the fear of your future and what god has in store for you.

Instead, think.

"When i am afraid, i will trust in you. In God whose word i praise, in God i trust; i will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?"
Psalm 56:3-4

Instead of being afraid have faith.
What are you so afraid of?
Believe that he is with you, and he will guide you in life.
No matter where you are in life. He is always here.

God says,

"So do not fear, for i am with you; do not be dismayed, for i am your God. I will strengthen you, and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10

What are you so afraid of?

take the fear out of your life, and have hope and faith.
Love your heavenly father with all your heart for he holds you up, and when your about to fall hes always there to pick you right back up, dont let fear discourage you, and make you believe that he isnt always there.
He is.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
1 John 4:18

We all come to times in life when fear kicks in, but with the grace of God and his arms stretched out wide, he holds us in his hands, so do not fear because nothing is bigger than God, and he will be with you forever. Nothing can come at you in life that you cant get through, With him anything is possible.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31:6

Life throws you curves and moments when you lose yourself,
but to have that one person who helps bring you back is such a blessing.


No matter how far we are from each other,
We will always be great friends,

and look to your friends to help pick you up.

days that drag on, and days that make it hard to smile.
Shes always there for me.



Yes, Shes my other half. We are twins.

Nothing that comes at us in this life can come between us,
because we can get through anything together.

Our Story Never Ends.

You know when you come to a moment in life when you know you need to change, and that there can be change out there for your life. You think to yourself, yeah i think i can change, it cant be to hard, cause you know what you want.

But then when you go to try to change someone else, everything falls.

Or when we try to change our past, thats when we realize that its a waste of time.

We cant change our past, we also cant change the fact that people will act in certain ways, we cant change the inevitable.

But is that a reason to give up?

Life is given to us, by the grace of god, and he never gave up. He doesnt give up on us either.

So what do we do? You know when we feel like change isnt even possible?

What you can do, is to live life on the one string you know you have, the one string that is holding you up in life, hope.

What is hope?

Hope is to wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment, to have confidence, trust and desire.

Do you tend to lose hope sometimes? Kind of like when someone wont change, or someone let you down, or if you let yourself down. Do we lose hope in this life?

I believe we do come to points in life, where hope is still here, but we tend to forget. Or when our hearts just give up on what we believe and what is the burning desire in our hearts.


You know, we cant fail at anything in life if we dont try.

You cant change, if you dont try to change, and if your not whilling.

Just believe that hope will get you to a better place, no matter how long it takes.

God has a plan for everything, and he will give you answers if your whilling recieve them.

Dont wait on things to change, around you.
Make those changes yourself, and dont give up on your hope.


Nothing is impossible if you have God in your life. Seek him out. With him anything is possible.

Take the road in life that gives you hope, instead of taking the one road that takes hope away.

Papa Pete <3

So about 4 months ago, life through a big obsticle at me and my family.
Something ill never forget.

Someone who was so important in my life, and my families life had been taken out of our lives. It brought tears in all of our eyes, and questions of why he had to be taken away. But God has a plan for everything, and everyone. I guess it was his time to go and be with him.

My Grandpa. Papa Pete.

Id just like to share a little about him, he was an amazing person. Not like any other.
Everytime i went somewhere with him, he knew almost everyone. He was so friendly and he had a lot of friends.
Even though he had struggles in life, and pain, he didnt take things for granted. He lived life to the fullest i know he did.

He had such an amazing and loving heart to anyone. And when you were in a room with him, there was just that warm feeling of love. Something i miss so much.

His smile, it made things feel okay again, as if there was still hope no matter what.
He was an amazing person, and the best grandfather anyone could ever ask for.
When i was younger he used to always build and paint things with me, he showed me alot about life, and he showed me that no matter what life hands you or throws at you, not to give up. Papa Pete never gave up on anything, and anything he started he would always finish no matter what.

When i heard he was in the hospital months ago, my eyes filled with tears. I didnt know what was going to happen. But my grandfather was such a strong man. As he layed in the hospital fighting for so long, he never gave up. He brought a smile to his face when i saw him, and he wouldnt ever stop with his jokes! oh his jokes, they always made me laugh.
Then after a few months in the hospital, he was able to come home.
By then it was summer. And i always spend summers up at the cottage, a place to get away. And so my Grandpa was able to go up this summer as well. What did i say about him being strong.

My grandpa was such an inspiration to me, he was someone who showed me so much in life in everything he did. A great role model was what he was. Someone i looked up to. He showed me so much.

God was here through it all,
He allowed me to spend a summer with my grandpa, before he past away.
It was great to be with him during the summer. Memories i will never forget.

Papa Pete was the closest father figure to me that ive have in years.
He was such an amazing person and had a personality of gold. His heart was so loving and kind, open to anyone.
The way he cared about everyone, and tried to help.

I know that even though this had to happen. God has been here through it all, and he will always be here. I know that my grandpa is up there with him right now.

I just wanted to say some things about my Grandpa. Even though it was his time to go, he hasnt left my heart at all. And
Even thoough i just have memories of him, they are memories that i will never forget, they will always stay in my heart. My grandpa will always be in my heart.
He will always be someone i look up, and i want to be like him. He is my role model, someone who has shown me how to get through obsticles in life, someone who has taught me never to give up, and someone who has shown me to follow my dreams, and that there is hope, i just have to be strong.

Even though he cant be here with me today, one day we will see each other again. And the pain ive felt because he isnt here will dissappear.

I miss him so much, and i love him with all my heart.

Papa Pete your always going to be in my heart,
and your someone i will always look up to.
because of you, im not giving up' and im not losing my hope.
<3

Through anything in life, im always going to be here for you'

This is a poem that i found a while ago, and id just like to put it out to someone who is a really important person in my life.

She is such a good friend to me, and i love her to death.

This is for you Erin,

I cant give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,

or fears. But i can listen to you, and together we will

search for anwers.

I cant change your past with all its heartache and pain,

nor the future with its untold stories.

But i can be there now when you need me to care.

I cant keep your feet from stumbling.

I can only offer my hand tha you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;

Yet i can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;

I can only support you, encourage you,

and help you when you ask.

I cant prevent you from falling away from friendship,

from your values, from me.

I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait fro you.

I cant give you boundaries which i determined for you,

But i can give you the room to change, room to grow,

room to be yourself.

I cant keep your heart from breaking and hurting,

But i can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces

and put them back in place.

I cant tell you who you are.

I can only love you and be your friend.

Your an amazing person, and friend to me Erin. I will always be here for you no matter what this life throws at us.

<3>

Sometimes in life, we think that holding on to something, or someone is what makes us stronger.
But what happens when holding on becomes an excuse of the fear of letting go?

There comes times when what makes us stronger is letting go.

The moment you realize that what you have been holding onto has been a lie, an over exaggerated belief that what you have been holding onto will change. Something or someone that has been a waste of time trying so hard not to let them go.
Or the moment you realize that your going to be alright with out that one thing you have been holding onto. And that is when you become stronger.
Letting go.

Breathe

Written by Isa & Dani Johnson

Finding that the feeling inside of you

Is more than you can bare

When the past is staring you in the face

When the prison you've been living in feels like home to you

Just know that forgiveness is the sweetest thing

Forgiveness is the sweetest thing

When you let it all go is the sweetest thing

Cause you can breathe again

When the on next to you is the one thats caused you pain

If you've been drowning in your guilt and in your shame

If you've been fighting and struggling to break free

Or if you've been left behind by the one you thought loved you the most

Just know that forgiveness is the sweetest thing

Forgiveness is the sweetest thing

When you let it all go is the sweetest thing

Cause you can breathe again

It's time to leave the grief behind

It's time to lay pride aside

It's time to go the other way

The way to life
