Today I’m making a change.
Today I’m going to change the world,
And I’m doing it all in Jesus’s name!
It’s been a while since my last blog and so much has happened! God’s been taking me on this wild roller coaster called life, and together we’ve gone through hoops, twists, turns, and impossible/unearthly drops. It’s been the best/worse few weeks of my life!
He’s given me the ability and option to live in the world and choose for myself if I want to seek it, or if I am really going to choose Him. I’m not going to lie when I say that this was not an easy decision to make. In the forefront of my mind I wanted to live in the world and experience new things like drinking, exploring the world on my own terms, and diving into my sinful nature that is my flesh. I almost had a passion for it…it was really scary.
But deeper inside me I knew of the Creator who made me. I knew His love for me and how fast and wild it truly was and is. I remembered what He had brought me through even recently! I needed $3000 in order to go on this mission trip and He provided at the very last minute, just like He said He would. His love has been chasing my heart this whole time, yet giving me the option of pursuing Him. He is patient, kind, loving, and brings more joy to my heart than anything I could ever possibly find in this world. When I came to realize this it brought me to a place of understanding…
….understanding that Christ’s love in me is a burning passion that I can’t ignore or pretend I don’t have! He is something that I will pursue for the rest of my life! Why? Because He’s shown me love like no one else has. He loved me first and through that initial love I am able to love Him back. Not for the presents and gifts He gives me, but for simply and truly caring about me in a very intimate way.
Each day He helps me make a new step.
Each day He makes a change in me.
Each day He allows me to help change the world,
And He gives me the boldness to declare all glory to His name!
