The Beginning:
It all started back in the 5th grade. I was "new" to the school and finally started making some friends. I was invited to this thing they called "life group". I questioned it at first then thought "might as well...". So I showed up to this thing after school with some new friends. It was extremely weird and overwhelming. Although the people were so welcoming and nice it was also very intimidating meeting more people i didn't know. Anyways, they started talking about this "guy" they called God. I was SO fascinated. I went every week and listened to everything. It took me a few years to realize that i didn't just have to listen with my ears but also with my heart. It was young and never truly understood the "bigger picture". Now that i'm so much older i realize everything i took for granted. His appearance isn't just when i need him the most but it is ALL the time. Just like how your best friend is always there for you, through thick and thin. That's how i see him. My best friend. My strength when i am weak. My high when i'm low. My savior from this crazy world. It took me a long time to understand that I am always forgiven. It's still hard to believe but it's so true. I've been really thinking about the saying "What I do, doesn't define who I am". I absolutely LOVE this. We do stupid things the we regret but God doesn't see us differently. Of course it does NOT give us the right to do whatever we want but it gives us the reassurance that we are still loved even if we make mistakes. It has really changed who I am lately. I'm excited to see what this week has for me with this new blogging thing. I think i'm going to like it! (:
