Lessons

Ok so I'm going to try and focus on this. I have been having some real trouble focusing in on whats important today. In fact that's one of the lessons I've learned Don't be afraid to admit you make mistakes. I do.... All the time... A lot, everyday. It's about continually getting back up when you fall.

This one probably impacted me the most. Have you ever heard God speak? Like actual no doubt this is God's voice? I have twice. Once was during a service when I felt a love so strong that I could barely move, and the other was this weekend. I was reading a verse and really thinking about it when all of a sudden I understood what it meant. I heard God's voice clearly tell me what the verse meant. It was the whisper of Jesus, and boy was it powerful. (major understatement, I usually am not that emotional, but the tears were flowing majorly)

This is another big lesson that's really been getting at me. It's Love... Just love people unconditionally. I'm having trouble with this (a lot) and also with not being angry at people. People just need to be loved, to feel like they are wanted or important. My life has already seen a huge improvement just by smiling at people more. it's really hard, but soooo worth it.

Next up is be connected to God always! and with everything I do, do it for him. Again really hard, but so worth it. (it's hardest for me when I'm at school, and when I'm having lots of fun)

Finally this one is about relationships. I think somewhere deep down we all  want a relationship, and that's because we are made that way, but you can never be in a fulfilling relationship unless you are first a whole and complete person. No other person can fill a void in your life because no other person will ever truly meet your expectations. God needs to get a hold of you first. So I have decided not to worry about it. I honestly don't care anymore. God's will, will be done. If I stay single forever then so be it because I am blessed with amazing female friendships, and most importantly Jesus is all I really need. So even if the entire world shuns me I will be satisfied knowing my creator loves me (thats really hard for me because I love people, and connecting with them in everyday relationships)

All this stuff is things I learned this weekend. I struggle with this constantly, but I'm allowing the savior to gradually work in my heart, and build the qualities he wants in me. I'm slowly becoming the person he wants me to be. I'm so excited to see what he is going to do with my life. he has big plans in spite of my failures. Like Paul said I have not yet achieved these things, but I will run the race set before me. Remember guys it all boils down to one thing. Love God with everything you are, and love people the same way. I challenge you to take this journey with me and be all you can be.
