I Am Yours
wow...in oh lets say a little less than 12 hours im going to be waking up and getting ready for my SENIOR year...CrAzY how time flies! haha, i feel so old. this year is going to be soo bittersweet...but im looking forward to how God is going to use me. the only one i am trying to please this year is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. after such an absolutely amazing summer ive come to the point in my Christian walk where i really dont care what other people will think or/and say about my faith in Christ and about the true Christian example that im striving to be. True friends will stick by my side and im really quite curious to see who my true friends are. i know that i am going to be persecuted for my faith in some way or another, possibly by people i would have never thought would try to bring me down, but God has prepared me for disappointments. disappointments of any sort wont keep me down from having Christ in my heart though. and people can try to bring me down all they want....but they're going be surprised in how i respond...with the love of Christ. and i want to say thank you to marti, jackie and denise....for accountability. Girls, we are going to be there for each other through thick and thin this year! if you fall, i will be there to help you up...i love you! keep me up too, please...i am most certainly going to need you.
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me."~John 15:18-21 Jesus spoke these words to his disciples before his death. I know that Christ is going to use me as his disciple this year and years to come everywhere i go.
this year is going to be such a huge test. with friends, family, people at school, grades, sports, work, and college decisions. but with the Lord by my side every step of the way i know that i am more prepared than ever. Are you?
