Well hello again blogger world! It has been way too long, like seriously a year without posting? Why oh why have I gone that long? I blame facebook, just for someone to blame lol. I know there are no excuses, except the business of life, but I was looking through my old posts and found the one I had written about being busy, and I'm thankful that I have been busy, but I believe that I need to start getting back into the bloggin world. I really miss my friends, and I find that it is insanely hard to keep everyone up to date on everything that is going on. I also believe that I have a lot to say and no one to say it to, lol. I suppose though that we will have to wait and see what happens over the course of this year. If I don't blog more than this once then you will know that there is no point in coming back and reading this because I won't keep up with it, but if I post enough to make it worth your while to keep coming back and checking in with me, I would love to have you!!!! Wow where to start? This past year has been insane. I'm living in the city now, back to classes full time and while it is not all wonderful, I wouldn't trade it for anything right now. I'm going to skip over a lot of stuff or else I would be writing FOREVER! God has really been working on me this past year. Even more so in the last couple months, but it's a never ending process and I couldn't be more thankful that I serve a wonderful loveing God who will not give up on me NO MATTER WHAT! I was away to a leader retreat this past weekend and it was really a great weekend! A lot of tears were shed and a lot of heart issues were laid on the table. I came home from the weekend refreshed and renewed and ready to face the world again. Sometimes it's not so easy but I know that God is there to take me through. We were talking about identity this weekend. Who am I? Who am I beyond the masks that I put on to keep people from knowing whats going on? Who am I beyond the walls that I put up to keep people out? Who am I beyond the basic *acts* of religion? All of it boils down to one key point, no matter who I am to anyone in this world, I AM A CHILD OF GOD! and HE loves ME for who I am and for who HE has made me to be. The talents that He has given to me, the gifts, abilities and absolute blessings are all because He loves me unconditionally!!!!! It's an amazing feeling to know that no matter how much I screw up HE WILL STILL LOVE ME!!!!!! I learned a lot this weekend! I was also reminded once again that God can take away what he gives us in a heart beat and our identity needs to be in HIM not in who the world, or even ourselves expects us to be!!!! I think we need to be reminded of that sometimes. Also that no matter what the world thinks of us God thinks the world of us!!! Does that make sense? Read it again!!!!! God loves us ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooo much and our humanity stands in the way when we mess up and try to hide instead of seeking forgiveness. Our mistakes are forgiven before we even make them, all we have to do is go to God and tell Him we are sorry.
"And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven" Luke 1:76-78
Hold on so tightly to that truth. God loves you!!!!!! and he loves me!!!!!!! and that is ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exciting!!!!!!!
Well blogger world, I have a biology assignment to do, so I shall go and do that. I will attempt to post again soon. Keep checking in! Love you! And goodnight!!
