First of all let me say I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT MY BLOG and that writing a post every day is a little ambitious but I can always strive to do better! With that said let me catch you up on my life. Last week I went to Pickens every day and I loved every bit of it - I seriously love my friends and I love going to catch up with them, club was phenomenal on Monday, lunches Tuesday and Thursday were great, and we had a great dinner date on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday after lunches I got to catch up with Courtney- I really am blessed to have her in my life and I'm even more blessed and excited that she will continue to stay in my life because she was accepted into a masters program here at Clemson! After that I got to hang out with Eylse the rest of the day and it was SO great to get to hang out with my teammate and learn more about each other. While we were hanging out we made cake pops for the FCA bake sale. They were really easy to do but took a long time to do them. Here is a picture!
Anyways so we sold those Saturday night at a FCA dance- which was definitely such a great night! Then today I went to DCF and had a great time of worship restoration. If I can be completely raw today I really felt the Lord take my need from control away. It's been something that has really hindered me from growing and relying solely on Him and today I felt him break those chains from me. I've been complacent and really just not growing and I really feel like I became way to complacent and I've been hindered by me trying to take control of everything and every part of my life. KT said a couple of things today that really hit me and I wanted to share. First, it's not about a feeling, its not about feeling something that makes you know God is there or has control of you, its believing in truth and having faith. Clearly, I struggle with this but when he said that it made me reflect back and realize that I rely on trying to feel something rather than just bask in the truth and be restless in that peace. The second thing he said is along those lines but when you pray don't pray that God will be there and have control but pray that you will believe fully that He already is there and doing that. In the Bible it already promises that God is there so there so the thing to be praying for is that we can have strong belief that it is true. After hearing that I just knew that the way I pray the way I read and my faith has just become so complacent recently and it is my prayer that my relationship just blossoms and grows.
My prayer for you is that you aren't complacent that you feel some tug or something that you feel like you can grow in and work on growing. I also pray that if you have chains holding you back release them to the Lord allow him to work so you can live freely in Him and his grace and you will know that there is nothing that you can or cannot do that will make Him love you less.
