I was just looking at some of my first few blog posts and it just makes me think about how different I am from them in my blog posts and in real life! Time flies, it really does. I started this blog a little over a year ago then stopped. I started back up again a while ago and I'm glad I did! It's kind of fun to get to write what I'm thinking down and people read it. Okay, so maybe that sounds odd but if you're a blogger I think you'll understand.
Anyways, when I think back to a year ago everything seems so different. I seem so young too! Even though that was only some 14 months ago. The good thing is that I think that in this past year I've grown a lot, not height wise, sadly I'm still only 5'7" and a half, but as a person and especially in my walk with Jesus. I always think about can people still be growing closer to God everyday when they're in their 70's? But, I think I'm coming to understand it more. There's always room for improvement. I have to admit that I used to think, "Wow, I'm so close to God right now! How can I really get that much better than where I am right now?" (P.S. NOT a good way to think. We all struggle though. I used to need to get off my high horse if you know what I mean.) However, I've changed my thinking! Which is wonderful! I think part of my thinking had to do with, I just couldn't imagine myself any closer to God because I just felt that close to him, you know? Well, anyways, this past year, especially this past summer, it's like my growth with Jesus has been exponential! I know more now and am more near to Jesus than ever before. I'm still learning so much and am not perfect in any way, that's why I'm so needy for God!, but I'm aware of increase in God. When I think back to a long time ago, like let's say 7th grade, and I thought that I was so close to God, I think, "Wow, not even close hun!" haha
Time really does fly though. I just can't believe I'm already about to have my third week of school tomorrow and the summer is long gone. I'm totally looking forward to the future though! Colder weather, boots, sweaters, scarves, Thanksgiving, Christmas, fires in the Fireplace, youth group every Wednesday, skiing, family coming together, MYC (Minnesota Youth Convention), and dare I say it, Football! The future is so bright! Time flies but our lives here on Earth are so short compared to the eternal life waiting for us in Heaven! So excited about that too! (:
Have a blessed Sunday praising the Lord!
