Amazing Love.

WOW. This blog update is way overdue to say the least. I don't really know if anyone reads it though, so I may be okay.

I HAVE FOUND JESUS!!!! No we weren't playing hide and seek, and no, I wasn't a nonbeliever. I was just one of those people who was a passive Christian who didn't really know what she thought on that big bad subject of the unknown. Luckily, I found the perfect church (Thanks to God.) and I honestly couldn't be happier if I tried. God's love has floored me, and I can't even imagine going back to a life without it. I'm reading a book by Francis Chan called "Crazy Love," and I think it is going to be a life changer. It's basically about not just "loving" God but really LOVING GOD. There's a difference. With all of this, I am really trying to love people more, too. Because it is essentially linking to loving God.

I am officially a concert junkie. I don't ever want that to change either. You know it's bad when you can honor anyone in the world in speech class, and you choose a band over your own mother. NOTE: I love my mother, but she is not a rock n roll band.

My love for Carson-Newman may be taking a different turn. This semester I have become terribly homesick, and I am thoroughly considering transferring to UTK. It's bigger. I love the town. Plus my friends and church are there. But for right now, I am just doing some intense prayer about it all. That's all I really can do.

I am trying to come out of my shell a little bit more. I have come a long long way since I was a young little tot in elementary school. However, I am having trouble just sitting by and let opportunities go by because I am too afraid of an outcome. Again, I just need to pray about that, too.

I really want to start meditating. I feel like it might be a good thing to do for religious growth. Just to sit out in a quiet place and observe God's beauty and open myself up to Him and His word.

Well, that's all I got. Let's not go too long without an update next time :)
