Well, today since I do not have to be in my next class until 2:30pm I have about 3 hours to kill on the Internet waiting at my school. I wanted to write a post and kind of update everyone on what is going on in every aspect in my life. So here it goes.

This past Tuesday was my twenty first birthday. Yes, I know how exciting right?! Although it brought me a new "grown-up" feeling it also made me open my eyes at how I am an adult and am really in need of building a stronger relationship with Christ. My last post was about a video that I watched on a "letter to Satan" the speaker talked about what are you going to do if your living your life as a sinner, and you die before you ever reach the ripe old age of 25? Then what? Why postpone your relationship with Christ? Is it because you want to have fun? Who said that you cant have fun while your a Christian who is on fire for God? Because I want that. And why wait? Why not start your eternity now?! I have also realized that I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to have a family that made it a priority that I knew about Jesus at the earliest age possible. Looking back at my life I like to wonder what my life would be like without having Jesus in my life and in my families life. Sometimes I think that life is hard...then I think about how much harder it could be if Christ wasn't in the picture. How disparing to think about. And to also know there is millions on this Earth that haven't heard his good news.

Today I found out that my graduation date got pushed back a semester because of a class that sort of went under the radar. This morning when I found out I was in the middle of class and it nearly brought me to tears. Since then my day has just felt horrible, I called my mom and she talked to me about it and told me not to worry because Christ is in control. Since that, it really hasn't bothered me. Although every single morning I pray that God does his will in my life...I still lost touch of that prayer when I realized that MY plan wasn't going to work out...but thinking about it, I pray for this everyday. If this is his will, I am joyful that it is happening. (thanks momma, I love you!)

I am so thankful for family and friends who make things better when I need a good talking too. How thankful I am for people to rely on. Although the truth is, all I have to do is turn to god. His grace will always find me. No matter where I am.

Today is also a day that I have my daddy on my mind alot. Isn't it funny how when you are in his word and relying on God, that he places the right words or comfort in your path. This morning and last night I really had a hard time thinking about dad passing away...I turned on the radio this morning to KSBJ and the first thing they were talking about is how you dont have to worry or be sad about a loved one who passed away because they are in better hands than ever and so on. GOD IS SO GOOD AND HAS PERFECT TIMING! I am so grateful for him putting the right things in front of me to hear or see right when I am in need of them!
