Starting to Feel Real

Well, I sent out my support letters today! Now that they are out, I feel like this whole thing just feels more real- as in, we leave in 67 DAYS!!

Lately God has been teaching me a lot about living in the now, not the future. I have been looking forward to this summer so much that I let the days pass by me like they are not just as purposeful as this summer will be. And all of the time I have been wasting by wishing my life away could have been used for His glory. That being said, our God is not a God of condemnation, but conviction; so my response in this is to make a change, apply this knowledge to my life today, not wait for this summer. I am learning that I don't value my relationship with God near as much as I should, and the best way to fix that is not to talk about it, but to actually start valuing it more. I don't impress God with my words and saying what He means to me, I prove my love through my actions and how I treat God- even when no one is watching. And in that, trusting that He will make all things work together for my good when I put Him first (Romans 8:28).

I feel like this is very basic stuff and something that isn't new to me, but God has just put it in a new light I guess. If I want my relationship with God to grow and and be fruitful, I have to value that relationship. I have to value it over TV, Facebook, even homework (which is a hard one for me).

So, that's where I'm at. Kind of deep for a first post, but I figure it will do.
I am excited about tomorrow, and what God will do here in Conway. Ready to do work, here and now.


Love Love Love,
