End of The Year

This year is slowly coming to an end. Honestly, I am not so depressed about it. This semester has been one of the roughest and most annoying semesters of my college career. So praise the Lord. I am ready to get out of here and ready to move on with the summer. California is looking better and better everyday. I cannot wait, especially now that I have the curriculum that we are using. It is so great. It will be good to be in a new setting and have a change of pace. A new scenery if you will.

I feel God calling me to a big change in my life.

In Ephesians 4:24 we are called into a new life. A new life that is light and that we are supposed to forget the darkness. We are supposed to drop all that is hindering us. Prevention from this: stubborness. I don't want to leave everything that is darkness behind. I want to be selfish and I want what I want. Drop it. Sometimes change hurts and it hurts pride, but it's often better for us.

Therefore, boast about your weaknesses...

"When I am weak, I am strong..."

4 years now. 4 years ago next week, this became my life verse.

I will then more gladly boast about my weaknesses...

Pain and sorrow, to put it plainly, sucks...but something that I have learned through this is that God workst through it. God works through our pain and our sorrow. We beg for him to take it away from us, but God works perfect in our weakness. When people see us in pain and suffering, relying on God, they see God. When they see that we are not being bitter and we are not complaining, they see God. I may be weak, but I am strong. God is working through me and he has been working through me.

God changed my life 4 years ago.

4 years ago, I discovered true community.

4 years ago, I discovered what following Christ meant.

4 years ago, God revealed himself.

4 years ago, We lost some important people...it hurt, but God shone like the sun.

God is good.

God is faithful.
