The Life of a Princess

So lately I have been trying to figure out what to write about since I haven’t been able to decide on a topic or something going on with me or around me to talk about I’ll wing this one. This has been going on for like 3 months. Well I just now decided to start writing and see where my thoughts take me. I have so many things now that I would love to talk about, so bare with me. We’ll see where this goes. =)

This week I have spent a lot of time thinking about friendships. Friends for me are one of the many ways God has blessed me. I have become a better and new person do my friends. My Christian life has definitely taken a makeover and it is because of those friends God sent to me to help me figure out what I needed to change and improve on in my life. At the beginning of school last year God sent me two friends to talk with about my walk and to help me understand those few questions I wasn’t so sure of. I look back now and I realize that was the providence of God allowing me to become close to these girls that I felt comfortable enough to tell them what I was struggling with. Having NO sin to hold me back and no chains bond to me I made the best decision of my life. The decision that will forever shape me as I walk through this life and afterwards. I chose to follow GOD I laid down all those wordily things that were holding me to satan and his evil schemes.

I chose the path lit for me that will lead to an eternity in Heaven. Why? Because I realized how troubled my life had become. I had a phobia of death..GONE. I had let my boyfriend become the center of my life..GONE. I didn’t care about going to church..I DO NOW!!!! I didn’t care what people thought of me..I DO NOW. I hated to be alone..NOW I enjoy alone time because that is more time I can enjoy talking and studying with God. I allowed GOD to become my everything and let my wordily sins die. All because of the people God allowed to surround me. I look back now and see his hand moving and shifting things around for me. I see him trying to get me to pay attention and follow him so many times but still I wanted to do things my way and without him. I wanted to make my own rules and not have to answer to anyone about why I chose to do what I wanted. That’s just the thing we cannot run from God.

He will never give up on us. No matter how hard we try to fight against his will he is still there tugging on our heart stings bringing us home little by little. I am thankful for those Christian friends I have that God sent to show me the way to serve and live for him. I appreciate all those times he tried to break me and I chose not to follow because I know what following him looks and feels like that now I recognize when I am slipping away. This semester I have felt that several times and I have been able to change the way I was going about my life. I want to live with a purpose and leave something behind for people to remember me for and for that to happen, it takes God living in me for me to show that to those around me. Living a life fully pleasing God IS living with a purpose!
