blessed..

the past few days have been a true gift from God. just really enjoying the people around me and have been deeply reminded of how much i am blessed.

i think it is one of the most important things we can do for our souls- to sit down and think about the condition of our hearts and where we are with God. lately when i sit down and think about things, i feel really content.. which is so amazing because last year i was so unsure about everything. as much as i tried, i couldn't get my act together with God. i was a reed blowing in the wind and i needed to own where i was in order to move on but i just tried to be ok without dealing with anything. thankfully, a man i greatly respect told me to "move forward" this summer. for some reason, when he said this, something clicked in my heart. i sat down with God and talked seriously about things and owned the fact that i wasn't where i needed to be. since then i have really been trying to do well, trusting God that He knows what's best for me and that He loves me more than i can fathom. it is so important to ponder the truths of this God that we serve. it will humble you and remind you of why you started this whole "Jesus thing.." in the first place. God is so good and has blessed us all so much. we deserve nothing but have everything offered to us in Christ. beautiful.
