But that's part of why His forgiveness and love is so completely beautiful--because I can never, for one second, "deserve" it. I am stunned, but I wish I was more stunned. I pray that God will be more real to me every day, and that I will be falling in love with who He is.
So that's definitely been on my mind. A lot.
And a quick little update on my life:
This semester has been excellent! All of my classes and teachers are really great and I've been enjoying school and learning so much. My schedule actually allows me to be home, too! So I get to see my family more, and that has really helped me grow closer to them and has had some amazing impact on relationships (especially with the parents!).
I don't have really any other updates besides school--it's a little life consuming. But I would really appreciate prayer. First, just prayer for relationships, with God, parents, siblings, etc. That I would have my priorities straight, and that I would not idolize myself, or others. And the second is just for decisions and direction in general. I'm switching majors, and probably switching schools, so I really need wisdom there. There's also some other big stuff going on in my life that's more private, so prayer for that too.
I would love to pray for you too. Yes, you! I'm serious. If you're reading this, feel free to share any prayer requests. I would love to be able to encourage you and to bring your problems, praises or concerns before our great God! He loves to listen to us! And, He promises to meet us!
Peace and Love
