Ok, so I wasn't able to post anything on Friday because I was super busy. I have now come to the realization that when I first started this blog it was just for fun, just something for me to do in order to express my feelings. Well...soon after I decided Wednesdays and Fridays seemed to be my days of leisure so I decided to post my entries on those days. Ha I should've known something would happen. What I'm trying to get at here is FORGET WHAT I SAID BEFORE!! If I choose to write and post something every day or once a week I hope my readers stay loyal and patient! Above all I do promise to stay true to who I am and write about what is in my heart!
So, with that being said today I am going to talk about change!
I have always been the kind of person who HATES change!! I like to have order and routine. Some may say I'm boring but I'd like to say I'm just stuck in my ways!! I'm not sure if it's the change in weather or the ending of October but I am all about change this year. At the beginning of October I told myself "okay girl, you can either enjoy life as it comes and have fun OR you can try to plan things out as usual only to be disappointed when things don't go as planned". Well, I chose my first option. October has been so good to me and I honestly feel so amazing!!
Today as I was sitting in church I realized the most beautiful thing. Every Sunday before church is dismissed we are given 3 invitations. 1. Accept Christ as your personal savior if you haven't already. 2. Become a church member if you don't have a church family. Or 3. Recommit your life to God if you feel like you have gotten off track or something. For a long time during my sophomore and Junior year I wrestled with the first invitation. There was no doubt in my heart that I accepted God as my one and only personal savior but I was TERRIFIED of getting baptized. I have this weird thing with water but let me not get into that right now. After prayer and a quick talk with my Pastor I did it!! April of my junior year in High School I sealed the deal so to speak. I got baptized and survived. My life was great. Everything was going smooth, graduation came and went, college started and I honestly didn't realize it until last month that I had NO PERSONAL relationship with The Lord.
I have recently begun a spiritual journey to grow as a Christian and become a true child of God. Today, sitting in the pews, listening to the invitations was the first time ever that I felt true peace in my heart. I wasn't scared to be baptized. I wasn't wondering if God really cared about my life. I wasn't pondering a recommitment. I was completely at peace with my life. It was such a beautiful moment for me. I know God has slowly but surely gotten me to this oh so sweet peacefulness and I just love every minute of it. The little changes that I have recently made in my life have already made a tremendous change in my life. Today God really opened my eyes to his love and I NEVER want to close my eyes again.
God's love is so amazing and indescribable! I hope you can
experience or are experiencing the extraordinary love of The Lord.
Peace and Blessings Y'all
