renewal of many things

2008 is here, yeah?
but what does that mean? for another year to go on as if its normal. partly. but this year is going to be different. i feel like this year is going to be a year of renewal, of growth, and of DEEP things. haha doesn't that sound somewhat cheesey coming from me?
but it so true. in the past month or so i have felt lazy- due the fact i am not working and i have a month and a half off. at the same time i've done many things, hung out with people, had good conversations, gotten in trouble-yes, seen God work in wonderful ways, felt him moving me closer to him, and then falling away at the same time.

there are many things i've been discovering about myself from situations i've been put into. this break has been a break of odd situations that God has placed me in. i've been broken and i am in the process of being put back together.

i feel as if i am a puzzle that is not finished and won't be for a while.
but its OKAYYY.... good news. Jesus wants to show me things.
so this is a time of confusion, but its okay. it builds trust right?

i've been bouncing around the ideas of transferring, different majors, etc.
but it all comes down to, what am I, Angela, passionate about?

one of my professors once told me "Guard your passions, the world will distroy them." and it is somewhat true. there are so many things the Lord has placed on my heart that i have let go away.

i am passionate about people, world issues, world affairs, traveling, making people see joy and light through love.

it comes down to that.

Amen to that! follow those dreams Angela.

Just remember... that strawberry... i don't know if you remember the story... but that strawberry was the best he ever had... that is because he had no where else to go... You have options, yeah, but you also have experiences that will change and mold you for the woman God wants you to be. So many times we lose sight of God's understand and love for us... and go and do our separate things... I know I have. In the end it all comes back to the fact that with God anything is possible, and through him we will over come all obstacles....

Remember a Mustard Seed.
