Just living my life to the fullest, learning things as I go, and trying to be the best that I can be. The college years through my eyes. :)

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."

Matthew 5:11-12

11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

A friend told me this verse yesterday and it really helped me out. I know people have the right to believe whatever it is they want, but why is it that I feel so compelled to share my experiences with my faith in hopes that I can bring more people to God? I hate being so sensitive about my faith and people offending me, I guess it's just because it's so important to me. Some people just believe what they want, and are extremely stubborn about it. But there is one person that I KNOW, absolutely KNOW would benefit from the love of God in their life, and I just wish there was some way I could show them that. I want to be like the person that changed my life in high school and showed me what it's like to live your life for Him. I so badly want others to feel the way I do because it's impacted me in such amazing ways. God has worked in such powerful ways in my life this past year, and it's time I start giving back to Him what he's given to me. I certainly don't have all the answers, I just have the experiences and the true feeling knowing that He's by my side no matter what. Lately I've been struggling between what's right in my eyes and what's really right. Afraid that my views are changing, and afraid that my life isn't going to go as planned. I'm praying that I get back on the right track, and that His guidance will get me through anything.


I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.
-Philippians 4:13


"Who we are is God's gift to us. Who we become is our gift to God."
