I know that I have not been writing like I said that I would. God is truly pushing me beyond my limits, seriously taking me to a place where I have never been before: a deeper relationship with him. God has blessed me with many things. My car is sick, my best friend is going on a 3 week trip, school is extremely stressful. I am an emotional wreck; however, I still know that God loves me. I had a great talk with my roommate about putting our trust in God. We cannot trust man, we must trust ourselves to listen and to obey God. Today, Mark talked about hospitality and how the ultimate display of hospitality is sacrifice. Yesterday, I was a huge blessing in a little boys life, sharing with him and his other seven relatives in his family unit extra sandwiches. God wanted me to bless that family, and then as soon as I was done, he said "Okay, Jessica, now it is time for you to receive a blessing!" How hard it is for me to ask someone for help, but God blessed me with this gentleman from my church community that has great knowledge of cars. God works in mysterious ways, Dan didn't have to work yesterday or today and was more than willing to be a blessing in my life. Yesterday, I told Matty that I had no more positive energy within my soul. He laughed at me. He said that I was the most positive person that he knew, and that I just had to keep on keeping on. After spending the afternoon with Dan, his positive outlook on life lifted my spirit. I was able to have a wonderful conversation with Jennie, and spread the love and positivity with God at church this morning. I volunteered in the Red Eye at church this morning and blessed many people with coffee beverages! Thanks to Dan and Matty's positive perspectives on the bad that life hands us, I am able to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to grow my friendship with Dan, and the opportunity to let Matt help me emotionally.
Matt sent me this song. His directions are: don't think to deeply about the song, just breath and be! :)

So friends, I encourage you to go out there, be the tangible hand of Christ. Bless the world by breathing and being you. No matter what side of the camera you are on, try taking a different look.
Glad your life is on an uphill track, you certainly are the most positive person I know!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the not trusting man part, that leaves an awful lot for you to deal with. Trust God to give you people you can rely on, and trust yourself to be able to identify those people. Or something like that.
Good point! I wish that we could have a sit together. Miss you.
