What played a major influence in my life? My faith in GOD!
Its like Josh Turner's song says, "There ain't nothing that can't be done by Me and GOD, Ain't nobody gonna come between Me and GOD"
Throughout my life I have lived by these words, every choice I have made was weighed with great decision by my faith in GOD. Do I wear this outfit? Do I do this? Do I go here or there? Do I hang with these people or those? GOD has shaped my life in so many ways by his words alone. Here are some verses I live by:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".-Corinthians 4:13
"Have I not commanded you be strong and courageous, Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you where ever you go".-Joshua 1:9
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord". -Romans 8:38-39
"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him".-Psalm 37:7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God".- Philippians 4:6
"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal".-Isaiah 26:4
These verses have helped me get through some really rough times in my life and God has been there every step of the way watching over me making sure I stay safe. Who knows where I would be without my faith in God. Thank you God for being there to support me and keep me safe.

Week Two: Childhood Memories!
It's that time of year again folks! That's right, the Craig family ROAD TRIP!!!
This years destination Kentucky. Its My mother(the driver), My father(the passenger/ map reader), My 3 Brothers(the pests, lol), and I, all getting settled in our minivan awaiting to travel the open road. Our luggage piled so high in the back it reaches the top of the back seat. All us kids bringing bags of activies for the trip: CD players, notebooks, colored pencils, coloring books, regular reading books, etc... and of course you can not forget the huge cooler of drinks and the big snack bag every Craig family vacation has to have.
Now that everything is loaded and everyone is buckled in we can start our adventure on the open road. OH wait but first the traditional music that goes along with every road trip we take. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by WILLIE NELSON is the first song played every time we take a road trip. What fond memories.
AS we are driving along the first leg of our journey goes rather smoothly, everyone listening to his or her own music, minding his or her own business. But as the trip get longer you start to hear things more like this, "She's looking out my window", " MOM, He's touching me", "Are we there yet?", "I gotta go to the bathroom", "How much longer?", "Can you pass the Chips?" That last one coming from my father.
Once arriving in Kentucky we went to Mammoth Cave National Park. There we explored underground caves that were amazing and hard for one to describe. These caves were cold and damp, it was absolutely a sight to see.
Now, Its time for our long journey back home. "Are we there yet?", "I'm hungry", "MOM, I have to go to the bathroom". All after a nice song by WILLIE NELSON of course.
This was a nice family vacation and there were many more than followed it, It was tough to decide which memory to talk about, but this one took the cake.
