At a Low

So, I've been massively busy. In this chaos that I call life lately, I've sacraficed time with God for various forms of busy-ness. I can feel it. To my core, I feel it. I feel the chains of sinful nature attempting to wrap themselves around my arms and legs and drag me back to the bondage of resisting my faith. Right here in this moment I feel helpless, yet I know that the only ONE I can fall back on is the very ONE I have been denying daily. There's only one solution. Get back to the basics. I need to spend more time in prayer and more time in God's word. He is the only rock that I can stand on. Life brings many disappointments and heartaches, yet God will stand through the rockiest storms of life. Like the song says, "Oh no, you never let go, through the calm and through the storm Oh no you never let go, every high and every low, oh no you never let go, Lord you never let go of me!" God doesn't let me go. He's seen me through it and now "I can see the light that is coming, for the heart that holds on." Knowing that I have hope in Christ is all that I need knowledge of. So with that, I'm out like me...I was the fat kid in dodge ball!

Blah de blah blah blah

It's been a while. I've been SUPER busy. Sunday I moved in at AU and I've been going ever since. Wow...it feels good to sit down and chill for a while. Not really much to write, not in a writing mood--just wanted to let you know I was still here and hadn't fallen off the face of the earth. With that, I'm out.

Thankful

The lunch buzzer just sounded here at Hendricks Fabrication, Inc. and after twenty minutes of listening testosterone driven, Godless conversation I'm thankful. I'm so thankful that God has placed some amazing Christian men in my life that encourage me and set a standard for my dating relationships. Knowing the guys that I know has truly saved me from distructive relationships that could have been detrimental to my walk with God. I know that there are men out there who strive to serve God daily. There are guys who respect a woman for her relationship with God and see her as more than a possession or something they seek to conquer. There are men who treat women as sisters in Christ rather than arm candy to make them look good. Praise God for the Christian men in my life; they are the true men. With that, I'm out like Sammy Sosa on a bat-breaker.
