My Road Has Taken a Sharp Turn...

I do not even know where to start with this blog. I guess I should first say that God is amazing! He is the one and only amazing Savior. I just want to scream to the world of His wonderful love!

Last summer I went to a county fair with a few people. We were walking through all the buildings where businesses had their booths. We stopped at one booth for a local church. The man asked us if we knew where we were going. Everyone said heaven, as did I. I doubted it though. I was not really sure. Yes, I was a Christian, but was I good enough to go to heaven? Did I ask God into my heart the right way? These are silly questions, but at that time that was how I was feeling. For the first time in my life I know, without a doubt, where I am going. I know God is real. I know He is all I need.

My life has been pretty messed up for the past year or so. I am finally really starting to give my struggles to God and I can already see Him working in my life. I do not feel as bitter or jealous of others anymore. I am happy with my life. I am excited for my future. I am on fire to live for God!

I have not had a fire for God as strong as I do now. I have had a fire though and it has died. I do not want my fire for God to die again. I want to glorify Him in everything I do. Thinking of this reminds me of the song that goes..."oh Christ, be the center of our lives.." That's what I want. I want Jesus to be the center of my life.

I do not know God's plan for my life, but I know He has in under control. He has given me a wonderful opportunity to co-teach art to a homeschooling group I grew up in when I was little. He has given me a passion for art once more. I hope to bring glory to God with this new job and with my art skills.

God is good. =]
