Remembering why I never write on this thing anymore...
The last few minutes I have been reading over this journal, and being embarrased as to how shallow that I once was. My life has changed so dramatically in the past 2 or 3 years. I'd like to say that it's because I've done a lot of growing up, but in reality I know that above all God has changed my heart. I used to be so content with staying at a comfortable place in my relationship with the Lord. I soaked up all the junk that my "friends", tv, the world had to offer like a sponge. I look back and realize how silly I truly was.
I look around and see all of these scene kids walking around the mall who remind me so much of who I was just a couple of years ago (although I was never officially cool enough to be one of them). haha... I can't speak for them, but they remind me of how concerned I was with trying to be something that I completely was NOT.
Jesus has taught me so much. I don't even feel like the same girl. I'm not writing this to try to prove some point or defend why I haven't updated in such a long time. I want everyone who reads this journal to know that these entries no longer define who I am. They don't reveal an accurate picture of my life or the things that make me who I am. I've fallen in love with my best friend, gone off to college, and God has shown me the direction that He wants me to take to serve Him the rest of my life. I'm excited about what the Lord has done in my life over the past few years. This journal is fun to look back on, because it makes me laugh at how silly I was in high school... but it also serves as a reminder to thank God for changing my life!
