It has been a pretty good week. Even though we didn't win both games, I had fun playing softball Saturday... Yea that's right; I just said I had fun playing softball… WOW!! I really think it makes a big difference when you are playing for God, and putting Him before anything else. This past summer I had lots of time to reflect and listen to God. He really showed me the purpose of softball in my life, and it has changed my whole aspect. I am so thankful He did that because if He would not have revealed that to me, it would still be controlling my life.
I have been really thinking about how blessed I am. God has given me an amazing family... Words can't even describe how awesome they are, and how perfectly God fit us all together. I am also so thankful for my amazing friends that constantly set examples of how to live Godly lives. Lately, I have really been struggling with trusting God's plan. My mom and best friend Camrie have been so helpful. They are constantly sending positive thoughts my way, and uplifting me with their prayers. What a difference it makes when you have people constantly encouraging you, and keeping a smile on your face. I'm thankful that they both know me well enough to see that I am struggling, and that they care enough to encourage me through it.
Today we had an all worship chapel and those are my favorite!!! I love jut being able to sing songs to God surrounded by my peers that are doing the same thing. Being surrounded by such amazing Christians all the time is rare, and I am going to take advantage of it while I can! :)
In my spiritual life I have really been trying to give everything to The Lord, and just letting Him be the one who satisfies me, and who I find my joy in. I want to fall more in love with Him every day. At kamp (yes I know I spelt that with a k) during our rest time I remember reading about the Alabaster Box (Mark 14). Basically what happened was a woman broke her alabaster jar with expensive perfume on Jesus' head. What this represented was her giving all she had to Him. That expensive perfume was worth one year of her salary, and she gave it all up. I think this is one of the coolest things because she sacrificed one of the most precious/important things in her life. In return Jesus praised her selfless act of worship. I want to be like this. I want to give Jesus everything that is most precious in my life. Because when you really really think about, compared to Jesus, nothing is as precious!
That’s where I am this week... Sorry rant and rave about my opinions on the world this time! Haha! Maybe next week something will fire me up. J I am going home this weekend and I CANT WAIT!!!
