Last night I was blessed with the beautiful opportunity to walk about five minutes from my dorm room to the beach with two of my best friends. As we walked along the rocks, and avoided the incoming tide, we witnessed a perfect San Diego sunset. This sunset is not uncommon in this beautiful place, but this one was special. With finals week upon us, the semester is all but finished. This surreal view gave me a chance to reflect on the newest chapter to my life.
Coming out to school at Point Loma Nazarene University was a leap of faith, and I truly had no idea what to expect. Upon arrival, I fell in love with the area but had a high level of anxiety because my priorities were my own, and they did not allow for any input from God. It took faith and trust that God had my best interest at heart for me to find His peace. Truly, I did not have a relationship with God until I arrived here, and began to let go of Earthly desires I had set in my mind long ago.
As I have put my trust in God, and began developing a relationship with Him, the blessings have been UNIMAGINABLE!!!! God has pointed me towards a ministry helping the local homeless people, and through this I have been able to meet so many amazing people. God has surrounded me with His love and His light through some of the most amazing people I have ever met, and they have become family so quickly!! Those type of relationships only exist when the main focus is always on our heavenly Father!
The beauty of God’s sunsets blow me away almost every single night here in San Diego. I began this semester with so little purpose, and I am ending it with a fire like never before. JESUS has saved me!!!! I am so excited for a future of following God’s will for my life, and God putting The World Race on my heart is the next beautiful step I can see ahead of me. But who knows what God has planned for the time being?? I certainly don’t entirely know, but I know I will be at Point Loma, and I know I will be listening.
HE LOVES US SO MUCH!!!! I have absolutely no idea why he does so much for us, but I am so full of joy at the fact that we have a loving God! Just give everything to Him. He wants it, and He is ready to bless you beyond measure!!!
