Everyday You Save My Life.

It's raining again. A cool calm washes over me as the water rushes over the beautiful landscape surrounding me. No fear. No worries. The most pressing issue on my mind right now is whether or not I want to take the time to put my sweatshirt on. I remember having days like these when I was staying with my dad at the lake this summer. Looking out across the glass-like lake early in the morning put my heart close to God and prepared me for whatever came my way. I have a problem with worrying and letting things out of my control cloud my mind. It's like that's all I can think about until it's poisoning my every thought. I drive myself crazy trying to battle my own self. That's one of the most amazing things about this place- I'm so sensory oriented it's easy to shut my mind up by breathing and taking in the beauty around me. Without this place I would still be slaving away at Chick-Fil-A becoming more and more bitter about how it seemed there was no plan for my life. In bible study class we're working to discover what the plan for our life is, and I for one cannot wait to feel everything in me being pulled towards something I have a passion for.

     Yesterday was my first experience with evangelism, and I was scared out of my mind. As I was walking up to that first door all I wanted to do was run back to the bus and tell them there was a mistake, who was I to be telling someone what they should believe? But then I realized, if I'm the reason someone goes to heaven someday, then there is nowhere in the world I would rather be. I am so homesick right now, but I have to tell myself when I start feeling like this that I am here for a reason. God wants me here. I want to be here. So here's to a new week, and to new beginnings.

All For His Glory,
