Life is Beyond Short!

So, I was just thinking today about life. Life is so short, and yet there are so many moments throughout life we waste our time getting upset at someone or something. I bet if you really began to think about how short life is in the middle of those times, you would think, 'What am I doing wasting my time getting angry or mad.'

I don't know about you, but I don't want to live my life as a negative person, I don't want to be the one person who is always mad, or never happy. I want to live my life to fullest. I will take risks, and I hope to look back and say, "Wow, I've had a great life."

If you think about the fact that the average life span in the U.S. is 77 - 80 years old, and that on top of the you never know if in five minutes God is going to come. So, either way, life is going to be pretty short. Although if God came I guess it wouldn't really matter. It would probably be the last thing you were thinking about, but still...

Are you truly happy?
Is there anything you would change?
What if tomorrow never comes, would you be able to look back right now and think to yourself, that you've lived a good life? I hope so.
If not, I would say now is the time to think, how can I make my life that much better?

Just a random thought. I didn't mean to get all deep on everyone. lol

Back in the Day

(L to R) My mom, my dad, my papa, my grandma, my sister, and myself. Don't we look nice?!

My Lovely Family!

This is the family!

I love them all so much, and I couldn't ask for a greater family!! I ♥ you guys!!! I'm proud to be one of the Hylers!

My Parents-- The Hylers

Well first off I have the greatest parents! Always there for me when I need them! I love you guys! (And it's always a blessing when your parents are good looking) Haha. : )

My Brother-- Alex N. Hyler (11)

I have the most handsome little brother ever! And I must say he has quite the personality! lol To say the least!

My Adorable Sister-- Kyla J. Hyler (5)

Well, well, well... There is so much I could say about this lil one!! But I'll just say, she is the sweetest, cutest, most adorable little girl EVER! (but of course I'm gonna say that I'm the proud older sister) And let me tell you, she has one BIG imagination, which I'm sure you'll here more about! : )

My Fourth of July

So for Independence Day my family dad decided we should go to San Fransisco, and see the fireworks and stuff, only his plan didn't actually take place. Sure we drove there and hung out there for the day, we ate some great Sea Food (Joe's Crab Shack) and my mom and I each got a new Coach purse out of it. Sounds great, right? So, what went wrong you ask? Well, every year you wait around for the 4th of July to see those great firewoks, am I right? Well, we didn't exactly see them... more like heard them. lol While eating my dad decides it would be a good idea to get the car and drive towards the Golden Gate Bridge so we don't have to fight traffic going home. So, we walk all the way to the car, and by this time the fire works have already started. We start driving towards the bridge, looking in every direction for these fireworks we were hearing, but can't really see them. It took us like 30 minutes to finally get to the bridge because the cite had blocked off a ton of streets downtown. So when we finally reach the bridge, we look over and the fireworks are OVER!! lol It was sad at the time, but in the end it was fine, because the next day we went to Bodega Bay with my Pastor and Youth Leader and watched them there. Haha, in the end it was a laughable expierience. : )

Can You Hear Me Now?!

I thought this was cute! : )

My God is an Awesome God!

What is a Good Friend?

A Good Friend is...

•Someone who will support you no matter what.

•Someone you can trust and who won't judge you.

•Someone who won't put you down or deliberately hurt your feelings, but will show kindness and respect.

•Someone who will love you not because they feel they have to because you're their friend, but because they choose to.

•Someone whose company you enjoy and whose loyalty you can depend upon.

•Someone who will be there no matter what your situation is.

•Someone who is trustworthy and not afraid to tell you the truth, no matter how hard it is sometimes.

•Someone who can laugh when you laugh.

•Someone who will stick around when things get rough.

•Someone who makes you smile.

•Someone who can accept you for who you are, and just lend you an ear when you need to whine or complain.

•Someone who will cry when you cry.

•Someone who will give you room to change.

Good friends are rare, if you have one, don't take them for granted!

Thank You God...

So today I went in an old e-mail of mine and was reading some of my saved messages. I came across a forward that a friend had sent to me, and it got me thinking... So many of us get so caught up in our daily lives and forget that if it weren't for God himself, we wouldn't have even been blessed with this day. How many of us really take the time everyday to stop and thank God for the day he has given us. It was never promised to us. I know that a lot of times we are not doing it intentionally, but really I think it should be the first thing we think to do when we get up in the morning. I think this is something we are all guilty of one time or another, including me. Anyway, here is the e-mail that I received back in January of 2006.

Dear Lord,
I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than you. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it. Amen.
