The Life of a Princess

WOW!! Summer has absolutely flown by. I find it funny to think that it is seriously over. I feel like Summer never really started for me. Maybe because I don’t know how to slow down even though I was busy this summer..I think it was the BEST summer I have had in years. I loved every thing down to the littlest detail. I LOVED my job!! I loved being at home. I loved being in the city. I’m in love with everything about Murfreesboro,TN. Minerva Dr. Church of Christ is the church I plan to call home. I made new friends. Found some church camps I’d love to volunteer at next summer. I had plenty of bonding time with my little sister who is now a senior at Blackman High School. I even actually talked to my Daddy a bit. 

This summer had some small growing pains for me. I had to go through the struggle of finding a good church while not giving up on God to lead me to my destination. I knew things would be different leaving Freed for the summer and trying to find a church at home but it was just a peak at what life will be like after leaving Freed. Sometimes I feel like we can “limit” God to just one place or an area. Take being a Freedie for example, it seems easier to be an upbeat Christian at Freed with many great churches to choose from, Christian examples to your left and right, bible classes that make you think and teach you the word of God, bible studies with friends. You see I started to feel in a rut once I was at home after a few weeks because it felt like my spirit wasn’t being completely fed in full like it was at school.

The point I am trying to make is this, it is not up to us to say I am not as strong “here” I need to be here or there to feel God. WRONG!!!! As long as you continue YOUR relationship with God WHEREVER you are, you continue to do his will, as long as you continue to let him lead, as long as your still studying and praying then how can he not be with you? How can he just be in one place? There is no limit to where God can go because he is EVERYWHERE every minute of the day. He is always with you waiting on you to realize it. When will you step up and answer his call? He is waiting for YOU!!!

So this summer I may not have went on a mission trip or volunteered my time. I did however spend time talking about God with my brother and started to build a new foundation of life for him. I did find a church that I feel I will grow in while I am at home. I feel that I learned how to attempt to approach leaving Freed and taking God no matter where I go. I feel like I grew as a christian and I grew as a young adult. -Isaiah 40:31
