Hello and good morrow! I must apologize for creating a blog as slowly as possible. To be completely honest the future freaks me out with all these smarty blogs, tweets, hashtags, posts, tags and everything else under the sun. But here we go!
I am so blessed to be on this beautiful island, thank you all so very much for supporting me in all the ways you could. Without any of your prayer and support I know I wouldn't have made it here.
I have a lot to summarize because I put this off.. buckle up pappy.
I have six amazing roommates, were all hilariously unique yet we all get along great! It was no accident that we were all put together, I love them all so very much!
I have learned so much from these beautiful ladies and I understand that I will only learn more and more about them and through them each coming day.
In the first week I had a "light-bulb" moment. I have had God as the ruler of my life since I was at the age of five but I have never fully given Him every part of me until this moment during my first week here. I recalled a picture from the Satisfied booklet, in which it described how at first I am seated upon my own throne until God is in my life. Then when He is in my life and I have accepted Jesus as my savior I can choose from two different life paths: having God in my life and myself seated at the throne or having God sitting at the throne and surrendering all of my life to Him. All this time I have chosen to have myself sit at the throne, I have chose the driver seat for sometime now. Just lately did I realize that to have God in my life the way I want Him in my life I have to give EVERYTHING to Him. The past, the present, the future, my regrets, my hopes, my dreams, EVERYTHING! Ever since that day my relationship with the Almighty has drastically changed for the most best! He no longer is just a giver. But He also is really a Father, a Brother, a Lover and even a Friend. I could go on and on.
My verse for these last two weeks:
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." Psalm 28:7
If you are struggling with completely giving yourself up to the Lord today I highly recommend that you take a look at your life and all of what you have because of this amazing God. Thank Him for His eternal grace and surrender ALL of yourself to His glory. You wont regret it and your relationship with Him will be forever changed. Here is an image from the Satisfied booklet.
