Yesterday and today were much better days. I went to church yesterday morning, and it really makes such a difference in how I look at life. The pastor talked about the spirit vs. the sinful nature, and as much as I want to say that I am sowing seeds that will bear the fruit of the Spirit, sometimes, I really don't know. I am so incredibly moody, and I don't always treat others with the love they should be shown. I fail a lot of times to set a good example for younger Christians and those who may not know Jesus yet. Even through all of the times that I mess up, God still loves me and can use the times where I mess up to bring Himself glory. Such a crazy thought!
Anyhow, I am really excited with what God is doing with our church. Each week, there are more and more in attendance, and I just pray that the people who are new would feel welcomed and would feel that sense of community. I made a huge leap of faith yesterday because I saw a girl who was sitting by herself, and I went to sit by her, and I hope I made a new friend! I just know that when I was in my first two or three years of college that I really wanted an upperclassmen to take an interest in my life and to act as a spiritual mentor. I'm hoping that through my experiences that I can make a difference in someone else's life help her to know that she is so worthy of having a friend.
I got coffee with one of my dearest friends this morning. She and I have been friends for 4 years now, and we only get to see each other a few times a year, but we keep in touch through various forms of communication. It has been so crazy to see how far we have come and how much we have matured. I am so happy for her and where her life is at right now, and it was just really encouraging to be able to hang out with her today :)
It's days like today that I can't even believe how great my life is.
