So I know it has been awhile since I updated this [almost two weeks].
The past week and a half have been some of the most challenging/rewarding days I have had in awhile. I am going to attempt to summarize what has been going on starting......now
Ok so the first week of school was insane. I had two papers, about 100 pages of reading nightly, three bible studies, and a car accident. Everything is fine so do not worry about it. And it was not in my car but it was in Andrew's wife's car so please be in prayer for them to get it fixed ASAP!
Besides all that stress I was dealing with a greater issue concerning God. Over the summer I have grown closer to God but I also felt as if He was not giving me what I wanted so I tried to get it myself. I failed miserably and felt like the mistake I made was going to affect my life forever. Well it did but not in the bad way I was hoping. It brought me the closest I have been to God in awhile, and through this situation I met a girl named Sarah [randomly] and we have been meeting one on one for Bible study the past two weeks. I am starting another two one on one studies with my friends Alissa and Katrina. God is good and the time I spend with Him is more enjoyable than anything else!
I have also been learning a lot about the love of God. This is my conclusion as of right now [after intense study and counsel with my pastor of course]: God woos us with kindness, He changes our character with the passion of His love. Is this not how we are supposed to behave as well? Love unconditionally! God loves everyone regardless if they love Him back...let us reflect this in our lives as well!
God is changing my views on things and helping me see the world as He sees it. It is uncomfortable and extremely nerve racking [in fact I have been having some exhaustion issues because of it] but God is faithful and He is sufficient for me.
I do ask for prayer in the upcoming weeks as my work load is not slowing, only increasing. Pray for God's will to be made known in my life because I know I am here in LB for a purpose....I just don't know what yet.
I love you all and hope to talk with you all soon.
