Humbled by the grace of God

Where to begin...High school is exactly what people tell you it will be, more schoolwork that is harder, wayyy more drama, and o yes the boys. But what people sometimes fail to tell us is that through all these stressful things, it is a time where God grows us the most. I am closer to him it feels like more by the second...there is so much to discover about him...and i am so young still in him. Only seven years of my life that were lived for me and seven (almost eight:) that Jesus took over my life...only seven...so much life left, but I need to use the oppertunity I have now to make a difference for Christ. not any later. Now. I am so blessed. I am thankful for the stress and tears I have gone through. even though it seems impossible to ever get through some things, i did, with the help of christ in my life. i have amazingly learned so much about my husband. no, i dont know who he is or where he is in this world right now, but i do know that i can not just wait for him, but patiently wait. this year i have encountered quite the young man...he has truly raised my standereds for my true love. my list for my husband now has over 30 requirments:) some are really crazy though, such as he has to have good ankles:) to he must genuine in his love to me...i have relized that even though my husband is out there and i need to wait for him, i do not need to wait for Jesus..i am his and he is mine-right now, and when my wedding day comes(a longg time from now:) i am sure i am going to tell the enire world, so why am i not telling the world about the man who loves me no matter what, whos love is always kind. never boastful. never self-seeking. never keeps any record of wrong. is always patient, love is always kind. It does not envy, love is never proud. it is not easily angered Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. This is describing the love Jesus has for me- I need to be doing everything I can to share this love with the world. just one person. then one more. than another. one more. just one more. only one. one is easy. until we relize...it is more than one who is shown this love. O how i can not wait to meet this man in heaven one day. And how i cant wait to see what plans he had in my life if i will allow him to use me. as fo rmy husband...my job is to someday push him towards jesus..and he will do the same for me, and we will be perservering partners in the effort to tell others about jesus. i have learned to listen. it really helps. i have learned many people in this world know more then me. i ahve learned that a smile can say a million words at one time. i have learned that the truth is always best-no matter what. i have learned that the less i use the word i the better my life becomes, becasue others are now the focus. i hve learned that common sense, good ol' common sense is irreplacable with any kind of IQ number. common sense can truly make a difference. i will leave with a quote..."All that is nesssacary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke i pray that we will not allow our good people in our generation do nothing, but to do something. you do someting.
