It's strange....

It truly is strange, thinking that only this morning I wouldn't have even considered starting my own blog. A few days ago I was talking about this with one of my friends and said that I had a small urge to start a blog of my own, but I didn't know what about. She said I should write about my walk with Christ. At that time, I wasn't sure that I would be comfortable with telling everyone what was going on in my relationship with Him, not sure I would have the courage. That all changed this weekend without me even realizing it.

I went out with some of my friends on Saturday night to go see a movie called "To Save a Life". Before I go any further, let me take this time to implore all of you to go watch it. That movie is definitely one of the best I have seen in a long time. The main character, Jake, has such an inspiring journey that takes so much courage and faith to follow. I was sobbing through most of the movie because it spoke to me so much. Later that same night, I got on facebook and saw a message in my inbox from one of my best friends. The words I read encouraged me so much through some insecurities I have been struggling with for a while. God's presence became so clear to me and I started to sob for the second time that night. In truth, it was probably Saturday night that changed me once more and gave me the courage to start facing more of my insecurities.

God has used this week to bring me so much closer to Him than I have ever been in my life. I can not thank Him enough for the situations and for the people He has placed in my life. This week has been hard, I will not deny that, but it made me rely on God to help me through and gave me that chance to discover more about His amazing love. I know there will be more trials in my life, but I know that it will all be worth it if i can live my life in service to my savior and Lord. I have faith that He will bring me through and will provide for me. God knows what I need.

Before I end this, are there any prayer requests you have? God bless you!
