To the world, you may be one person - but to one person, you may be the world.
God is so good.
Even when I screw up, He loves me. I don't know why I deserve all the blessings He's given me. I have such a negative attitude at times. I can be so selfish. What have I done for God? I feel like I've done very little. I want Him to use me in order to make an impact in someone's life for Christ. We had an awesome chapel on Friday - I truly realize that I need to have better prayer time. That is definitely an area where I am lacking. Over the past few days, I've really felt a peace come over me. I truly feel that God is taking control of all the uncertain aspects of my life that I have been struggling with for some time. It is wonderful.
Christmas time is quickly coming. I love it. There's just a sense of peace amongst everyone. It almost feels as if all is right in the world. Fires in the fireplace, the scent of the Christmas tree, It's a Wonderful Life and all those Christmas movies/specials, classic Christmas tunes, seeing friends and family...you just can't beat it. But as nice as those "warm fuzzies" are, it is truly awesome to know that God came to us in the human form some 2000 years ago to give us the opportunity to follow Him and someday live in heaven, where the warm fuzzies are limitless.
To all who read or stumble across my journal, I wish you a happy upcoming Turkey Day. God bless and take care.
