Almost December...

I can't believe that December is almost here. And that means I've been doing this for almost a year. It has been a wonderful little adventure for me especially in the beginning when I was writing a lot. I've been a little lazy over the past few months! Sorry. But these months have been filled! School started off great, but soon became a mess of confusion and business. I've never been one to stress about school and I found myself right in the middle of it. Yuck! Not were I like to be. But it just helped me re-focus on why I am where I am and what in the world I am doing. The messiness of life, school in general, always keeps me looking ahead to what the real purpose is and the greater things that are to come. Not just the things that may or may not happen tomorrow, but what will happen and is promised by our Savior. I've gained an eternal perspective! I never really knew what it meant before I actually found it. I've always heard the words "eternal perspective" but never had a grasp of the concept. That is what the past few months have been for me. Learning what it means to have that eternal perspective. Not just looking to what is going on now, but focusing on the truth that the little things of this world really aren't that big a deal. Lord has it under control and all I need to do is focus on things that are eternal. Building relationships with other, sharing the love Christ has given, trying to follow His example and glorifying Him.

Fresh look

Just when I think I'm losing my mind and feel like I'm not trusting God at all, He goes and reveals Himself so clearly and helps me to realize that I just have to stop focusing on the outward and what the world would see and focus on Him. In regards to the last post....God is ever so faithful. Not only do I feel like I'm trusting Him more now, He has allowed me to let go of even more of myself.
