Change for The Better???

Change.... It seems that is always happening in my life right now. I have been thinking about life and my friendships. Over the past few years I have become friends with some of the most amazing people I could ever ask for in my life. It has come almost to that milestone in the journey where they go off to college. I am bittersweet about this happening. I am so stoked to know they are following the voice of God yet scared to face a year alone here. But as I was contemplating these thoughts tonight God spoke to me. That it is all going to be ok. Because He told me tonight in this next year that I will get to reach out to the younger generation coming into my life. Because I think about it and that's what my friends did for me. I keep replaying the last 3 years of my high school experience. How freshman year I was on the urge of taking my own life to then meeting an amazing man of God his name was Gary who brought me to realize that my life was worth something, to bringing me to the church which that church has stood with me through so many storms to which brought me to knowing Jennae. Which coincidentally brought me to falling head over heels with Jesus. Yeah the boat ride hasn't been completely smooth but has been amazing. I was just thinking about how many encounters and Breakthrough and prayer meetings these two amazing people been through with me. It is a crazy thought that they will be going off to college soon and a part of me doesn't really want to say goodbye because they have been involved in the spiritual walk with me since I have been saved but in another way I hear the Lord telling me it is my time to step up and reach out to the incoming freshman and to let them know the Jesus that has drastically changed my life. I know this next season is going to be amazing I know that if the Lord has stood by my side for the past 3 years I know that no matter what happens this next year he is going to be with me. To know the reality is my friends won't be here but God will and if he moved these past 3 years he is MOST certainly going to move this next year. We have all heard this saying so many times "sometimes change is good" it is true so true. Because with out change we wouldn't have character and with out character we wouldn't have perspective and you get the picture. But maybe that is so true this next season when I thought all my character changing was done God shows up and says I am not done yet ;) Because of his love he won't ever stop working in me and I KNOW he has done incredible things and will continue I was thinking you know what would have happened if I didn't move to Washington? What if I stayed in Colorado then honestly I would have never met my friends, never been introduced to Breakthrough and probably wouldn't be saved and seen his love alive and active in my life. It ceases to amaze me that God knew I would move out here He knew I would end up with him and He knew that I would be writting this blog right now. But to also know no matter what tomorrow holds my God will be right there with me. And to know that soon my day will come to pursue the call upon my life but until then to serve one another in love because you never know whose life you could change when you show God's love. So blessings to Gary and Jennae thank you for all you have done you truely have blessed me :)

God Bless
