I think we should all take a minute and close our eyes, and picture ourselves on a beach somewhere... With snowpocalypse number two on the way, it only seems fitting to imagine ourselves in a warmer climate. I dont think I can say I enjoyed walking to class this morning in 19 degree weather, with a windchill of negative something. Winter is bitter. And I am bitter it's winter.
Speaking of being anywhere but here, the new drew holcomb and the neighbors cd came out today!!! GO BUY IT NOW ON ITUNES. Dont you worry, I already have my favorite. "Anywhere but Here." Perfect for the current circumstances.
Today, I really contemplated the idea of God placing certain people in our lives for specific reasons. I feel like no one is in our life by accident. There are no accidents with God. Even the everyday people we encounter.. God planned you to cross paths at some point. Every person was put in your life by the Creator of the universe. Recently, I have been thinking about the certain people in my life, and where God is going with this/them. After young life last night, it really made me ponder the relationships I have with people. For instance, my best friend, I truly believe the only reason we are best friends and have been so special to each other for so long, is because we help each other grow. We are constantly pushing each other to be better for the Lord. I want all of my relationships to be like that! If anything I want to be introducing them to the Lord altogether! It's kind of interesting to sit and think of all the relationships you have with people, whether it be boyfriends or just friends, and wonder why god has placed them there. in your life. at that specific moment.
Just recently, God has revealed himself to me about a certain relationship I have here at college. I was brought to tears at how evident it is that, the only reason we are friends, is because we have SO much in common. But mainly, we have the Lord. I am not going to go into detail, but just believe me when I say the Lord is majestic. He works in beautiful, mysterious ways, but all for his glory. And He truly does put people in our lives for a reason. And I am so blessed to be embarking my college career with such a Godly and sweet girl. We are going to be pushing each other to be better for the Lord. And I cant wait.
Now I can,
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
