thoughts.

I have been trying to blog for days. Words don't always come easy when I have a lot on my mind...there are so many thoughts running through my head - I don't know where to begin or end. So, here goes...

God is Good.

"If there wasn't any hurt in the world, how would we know how good God is?"
I don't know about you, but I feel closer to God when I am struggling, and needing to trust in Him even more than I do already. Some things in life are God's way of bringing us closer to Him.


Focusing on Being More Christ-like

Things in this world may not be right, we may not approve of certain people, we may not like it but have we ever asked ourselves this question: What Would Jesus Do?
Jesus may not be impressed with our behavior or the behavior of others....but Jesus sees past our faults and loves us anyway....and since WE can't change it... what can we do to be more like Him, more Christ-like?
The first thing any christian can do is PRAY. And perhaps we can be loving and accepting anyway. Isn't that what Jesus would do? I think so.

God's Timing is Perfect

I took a journalism class this semester, I often times looked at it as a mistake, but now I realize that I needed to take that class. You see, my number one career choice is to become a teacher, but I have such a love of writing that I felt like journalism could have been a path for me to take. I ended up not liking the class itself, let alone all the work and time it required. But I now know that journalism isn't for me--not my style of writing whatsoever. There is a reason for everything. I needed to take that class to know that God's got something better for me. I've ruled out that option, and I am even more aware that God knows where I'm going. His timing is incredible.



Whew. Ok. I'm done now. More later.
