Hey all!
So it's been a long time since my last post and that's due to 2 main reasons:
1) Exams, and coming home where we don't have internet except when we go to coffee houses, got in the way of me updating, and —
2) I'm actually really bad at blogging… I never feel like I have anything interesting to say.
Also, this blog is going to be super short, due to reason number 2 up there…
Anyways, I'm back home with my family for now. We don't have internet at my parent's house, so the only times I can get online are when we go to the coffee shop.
Today's the end of the world. To be honest with you, a little part of me is bummed out that it's not actually the end of the world. Not that I dislike my life – but it would be really exciting for Jesus to come back. As good as life is here, I know life in Heaven will be so much better, I can't not be excited for it. I guess I can just really relate to Paul when he said in Philippians, "to live is Christ and to die is gain". I would only have 2 things that would make me sad if the world really did end today. That I spent the past 18 of my 21 years in school, and that there are still people out there that don't know the name of my savior, Jesus, and even more the don't follow him. So the world is not ending today, but we should be living every day as if it were our last day on earth. As it says in Mark 13, "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Even thought it didn't end today, it could end tomorrow. Or the next day. Or in 10,000 years. My goal is to live my life in such a way that I will not regret anything when He comes to take me home. Daily I fail. Daily I mess up. Daily I make a mockery of my savior. But daily I am covered by His grace and that allows me, even in my failures, to be seen as holy and perfect in His eyes, and with that fact alone I know I can stand before Him when I die without any regrets.
I know that's probably really jumbled and random, but I just wanted to update you all with what's going on in my thoughts… which are often jumbled and random themselves 😛
