...the Journey...

lessons in life.

The day of days the week of weeks. Wow. I have learnt so much and yet been on what seems to ave been an emotional roller coster. My week started off with some great family times which is both hard and yet rewarding. Then it went to shopping which is always fun and then back to work as usual. Then out with friends and hanging out with new friends. Then to my friends and i getting into a fight..our first one...over two of them getting together...stupid. But hurtful. And all this fun boy stuff on top of all this. Oh my. Lets just say that my new year started off kinnda slow because the past week was so crazy! I was happy to sad to confused to hurt to excited to joyful to giggles to tears to smiles as big as i can make them. Oh man it was and emotional week.
But on the other hand looking at the highlites my sister is getting married and i am her maid of honour, I had a couple good days with my family, I meant an amazing boy who will prob be around for a while, i chatted with some old friends, i didnt feel sick for more than a day, and i got to be real with everyone. But looking at the bad things, two of my best friends and i had a fight and it was really hurting, I realized that my only grand parent left might not really make it thought the surgery next monday and i am alone at work with no breaks in a day and dont really feel appreciated. But as you can see the good out weigh the bad by far.
But as we start this new year i was thinking about how much has happened in the past year and i am flabber gased in all the things that have happened. WOW. I have grown so much and i am totally different than what i was before. Its amazing. Also, i was chatten with God yesterday and we were talking about how far i ahve made it in the past year. With everyting that has happened to me and every obsticle that has been throwen at me and how we conquered it together. One thing that i said at the begining of last year was that i wanted to become a true women of God. I remember reading all about what that would look like and what requirements that would be. I thought that i could never reach it, however the other day i got told i was a great young women of God with a viverent heart for him. I was so touched. God does wonderous things even when we are not expecting them to happen. It amazes me how even tho i feellike i am lost and longing for more of God some times to the total oppistite where i feel i dont want to talk to him really....but yet He continues to reward me and bless me with random things. I am reading titus this week and focusing on it and what God has to say to me thought it. Today the third chapter and first verse seemed to really conect with me, It reads : Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility towards all men. Looking at this it brings me to a point where i feel like this can be my missions statement for my life. the one that hit me the most was to be be obedient and ready todo whatever is good, wow..take a min to thik about that. NO matter what time it is or what month it is take time to do what is good. I was driving home from church yesterday when i saw these two ppl out on the road picking up something on the pavement, so i thought to myself that i could go and offer them some help but i justified saying Nan they look like they are doing things fine and they have it under control. But according to this verse....to be obedient and ready to do whatever is Good. So as i continue to llook at what this book is getting at and more of what this verse is saying i challenge you to look at it and see what you hear God saying to you to go out and do. Maybe it is simple like helping an old person cross the road or maybe it is someting more time consuming or character building. I know that as i look more into this God will be teling me to do some pretty hard things that will deffintly build my character. Happy learning.
Also, If you think of it when in pray please pray for my grandma as the doctors dont really know what is wrong with her but they will hopefully be able to fix it and make her in better health. Also pray for my mom as it is really hard on her, i catch her crying some days and it makes me cry to thinka bout how sad it must be to be thinking that you might loose your mom. So pray for her well basically pray for the hole cfamily we are all alittle tipsy about it and emotional about it right now. so pray cause i know God will work here for the good cause he does in all cirucmstances. thanks everyone.
And remember....peanut butter jelly time...peanut butter jelly time.....
