How Great is MY God?

Tomorrow I will have been a Christian for 2 years! Two years ago at Falls Creek I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Savior and He has carried me through some hard times. There are times that I feel very close to Him but for the majority of time I neglect our relationship. I have started praying again but I'm still on one-way communication because I expect Him to hear me and to listen and be still while I go on and on and never take the time to be silent and hear what He has to say. Near the end of my junior year, I asked God to send someone to me that would help me grow in my walk and I was thinking more along the lines of an accountability partner but I have been blessed to receive something much greater. I talk to this person openly about God and never feel uncomfortable which is almost a 360 degree turn from where I was.

This person told me that:

"It is so beautiful to praise Him through doubts and uncertainties"
"I think you're ready for anything. Well you aren't but Christ is, and He is with you."
"be alone. and silent. and just talk with Him. not just to Him. know that you are nothing."

I never would have dreamed that God would send someone so insightful that is truly concerned and that truly cares about my relationship with God and I surely haven't experienced being able to talk about my love for God openly and frequently for lengthy amounts of time. So I have a lot to be thankful for. Plus everything is going great right now! This summer has proven to be most enjoyable (:


On June 4th, I left for leadership camp and it was pretty great. I flipped a golf cart but that's perfectly fine! No harm done! I came home Tuesday, June 9th, and I've just been relaxing since I got back. Many college visits are underway and a definite major choice needs to be secured soon! Other than that, I have 4 events to plan and help organize for school and myself and I am steadily working on my Girl Scout Gold Award! It's an exciting experience. I love the pressure of it all combined with AP summer reading, call me crazy, but I'm in love with these types of things!

Today I'm having a "coffee catch up" with my good friend Stephanie :) and earlier I helped my mom make a 'Triple Chocolate Chip Fudge Cake with Homemade Cream Cheese Icing' and let me tell you it's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted! Two days ago, we made homemade vanilla ice cream...goodness it was the best! So now I need to go prepare for the rest of the day. Update soon!

Always smiling :)
