Grace

im really sorry i dont know what im writing about. these things were just on my mind and i felt i should just blog instead of doing the Scarlet Letter essay.

IT is 2:05 and i only have 1 page done of my essay however i feel as if this is more important to get off my chest. in these past weeks, the amount of growth towards God that i have felt is amazing. not only that, ive drawn closer to SO many people this year and in just these past days, ive been having some deep meaningful conversations about life with my fellow brothers and sisters and i realize that God allowed me to meet each and every one of these people for a reason. That reason was for them to keep me on the path with you Lord, to show me the way and prevent me from straying. ALSO, i realize that i cannot always rely on them as they too are human and they will struggle. I truly believe god has placed me in their life to help them in their times of struggle and to also strengthen my relationship with God.

FOR EXAMPLE: i met jacob kang and ray kim and all the wpca kids at borders but why? they dont go to my church and im not especially close with alll of them but they were there and i met them and just recently, reading their blogs has been very encouraging to read. Those like Terry, Lauryn, ERKA, they just keep my fire burning, they prevent my candle from being extinguished. other new people God placed in my life are yoseph yoo (graceway) and my ENTIRE PBC FAMILY!

No matter the fact that we all go to different churches, we are all still brothers and sisters in CHRIST. like really when i look at the difference in my life from this year and last year, im struck with awe at how much BETTER MY LIFE IS. these people were placed in my life FOR A REASON! I now have a reason to get up in the morning, something to look forward to and that is to see my family at school, to grow closer to god, TO CONTINUE ON MY WALK WITH GOD HAND IN HAND WITH FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS. to be there to pick them up when they stumble, to give them strength when they falter.

THIS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY ESSAY

I ALSO REALIZED, sometimes the things you say can exactly be what you need to hear. AT my friend UB's blog "So watever you're going through, we can all go through it together, by keeping each other updated, praying for each other, etc, because living a Christian life is not easy, I was stupid to think it was. So hang in there guys, depend on God, be reminded of the cross, of His grace and mercy, because that is just one crazy love given to us right there, so why not give some love back? His love is the best gift anyone can get." His words greatly encouraged me.


WOW JUST READING THIS QUOTE AGAIN i realized something new.
"His love is the best gift anyone can get". SO OFTEN christmas is about materialistic things that dont last very long. however HIS love is eternal, instead of focusing on gifts, we should be THANKFUL for HIS gift, his eternal love. HE has given us jesus christ who lives in our HEARTS.

The Same power that conquered the grave lives in me,
The Same power that rescued the Earth lives in me.

Amen.
