Jesus is Pretty Cool

So, it would not be fair to say that my life is perfect right now, because in reality it is far from that. It was finally getting warm here in MI, and we went from 50 degrees earlier in the week to getting 6 inches of snow tonight along with ice. Yuck. That is not perfect. At all.

However, other parts of my life have gotten better, which is good. My life is still not perfect, but things are better and I praise God for that. Life is filled with ups and downs, and I think I am just going to have to get used to it. My life will never be perfect here on earth until I get to go join Jesus in heaven :)

I am thinking about possibly applying to be an SLR (Spiritual Life Representative) here at Concordia next fall or maybe in years to come. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to help others when I am going through problems of my own, but some events in the past few days are seeming to change my mind. We will see.

I am also thinking about working at my summer camp, FaHoLa as a camp counselor or possibly as a staff member. We will see where that goes. I am leaving it all in God's hands. :)

So, I just wanted to give you an update on my life, and remind you that Jesus loves you and so do I!

Jesus is My Valentine

I haven't written for a while.... not sure if that is on purpose, or because maybe I have just been too busy to even sit down and think. I am thinking a little of both. My life has been super super crazy the past few weeks, to the point where some days I literally think I am going crazy. It has had it's up and downs, but overall it hasn't been too bad. Each and every day I am learning more and more about God through every day things. It is really kind of fascinating to me.

Today is Valentines Day. I have never really liked the holiday- in fact I find it rather dumb. Why set aside a day to show people that we love them when we should be treating them that way every day? But this year, I really did not want to deal with it at all. I didn't want to hear about people going on dates or anything of the sort. I was just sick of it. But my friend Stephanie wrote me something, and it just totally knocked me back into perspective. Jesus is the only thing we need. He gave His life for us for eternity. No one else on the planet can say that. They may be able to give their lives to save our earthly lives, but no human can save our souls for eternity. Wow. Why would I bother with all this earthly stuff when I have Jesus?! So awesome.

I hope you all have a blessed Valentines Day! <3
