so I've been wanting to start a blog for quite some time now; just to have a place to release my thoughts to the world. I'm in somewhat of a transition period in my life, and it's just the beginning stages. I'm in my last year of college, and already so much has changed. so why not the perfect time to begin a blog right? besides, who knows where I'll be in a few months from now!
lately I've been overwhelmed by Christ's love for me over and over again. I began a personal relationship with Jesus my junior year of high school, 6 years ago when I first truly understood the sacrifice Jesus made to be in a relationship with me. since then He has changed me drastically; molded me and stretched me to be more like Him. I am aware of my sinful nature and deep need for Jesus now more than ever. the more I realize the extent of my crap, the more I fall in love with Jesus. all i want is for my life to honor Him and His Kingdom. one verse has been playing in my mind lately:
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the JOY set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." [Hebrews 12:1-3]
Jesus was filled with joy. he endured the Cross joyfully. for me. for you. I will never tire of reading that. I hope my life may reflect the joy in my life because of Christ and because of his sacrifice to be with me. I will run, joyfully, with all that I have, the race marked out for me.
