So, I’ve been missing some friends lately.. Nothing happened between us, just time… People change, situations change, and life changes. It’s a whirlwind, ya know? I was thinking today about disappointment and how some times I’ve found myself disappointed in people because they didn’t uphold an expectation that I put on them. Disappointment is my own fault because of my own expectations. It’s made me think a little more about how I shouldn’t expect anything from anyone. It’s not like the person is thinking maliciously how they’re going to hurt me and they certainly don’t go out of their way to do so. I just find myself being over sensitive when it comes to relationships. It made me think about how much seasons change and through that, people change. Then it made me think of the Lord. I found myself excited because I was thinking about how constant He has been in my life over the past few years. When I gave my life to Him, 3 and a half years ago, He has remained the same. It is so beautiful. Through my failures, He has been so kind and forgiving. Through my victories, He has rejoiced with me. Through my weakness, He has been my strength. He has never failed me. The only thing I can truly say I’ve learned is, I can always count on God to remain. I can’t say my mom will be here forever or my best friend, but He is always there. That brings me comfort and brings me hope. He is never disappointed in me and sometimes I find myself disappointed with HIm, but there remains that issue again, it is because I expected Him to move in my life, in how I wanted Him to. He moves according to His will and purpose and He has my best interest at hand. So I have to remind myself that daily.
I’m just overwhelmed by His love today. I’m truly reminded. He has taken me from some dark places and placed me on a solid rock. He is my Rock that never fails. I cannot explain to you the places I come from and how different the world I’m in now, is in comparison. It’s like night and day. Even though I still face some dark things, He has still been my light.
One thing people miss, who don’t fully understand the gospel, is that just because you’ve given your life over Christ, it doesn’t mean you won’t face hardships and trails, but it means that you now have an everlasting hope to hold on to and Someone who is going to walk through it ALL with you.

Random side note: The youth need to know how much they are loved and how they have a purpose and a hope, so will you please join me in praying for them. I’m praying for a radical awakening of the Spirit in their lives. To understand the joy of the Lord and how much He loves them… Not that they will come to Christ so that they won’t be walking in sin, but because they need to know of His unrelenting love. The sin will shake off once the Love is grasped. Thank you guys. <3
