BE BOLD TODAY
Wow, hi! Remember me? Sorry it's been so long. I know you've been sitting in your room waiting every hour of every day for a new post! Just kidding, but I've been thinking about what to post for the longest time. I would open up this page, press "new post" and just sit here for seconds, minutes, and sometimes hours. Nothing came to mind. So i figured I would literally just start writing and see what God does......here goes nothing.

So if you don't know me, I go to a Christian college. I LOVE IT. But a lot of the time, for me personally it's easy to just plan out my week. What i mean by that is, we are constantly digging into scripture, reading books about God, etc. and that's amazing! But it's easy to "take God out" of what im reading and to just see it as another book. What kind of love is that for the creator of the universe?
Hey! So I went skydiving the other day, it was AMAZING! Amazingly scary that is, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I got to go with my brothers. OK....you caught me, that was a lie. But didn't it make me sound interesting? Or at least made this blog interesting! But why?
Okay, I want you to work with me for a moment. Imagine yourself riding a bike, going for a run, or having a nice family picnic. You're outside on this beautiful day, temperature is perfect! Not to hot, not to cold. The temperature goes down one degree, now it goes up two. Do you notice? No? We tend to not realize small degree changes like that, but the thermometer shows us! We wouldn't notice, without a thermometer until 10 degrees go up.
For days and days, I've been trying to figure out what to write. I could write about my day, my feelings, God, food, my dog, my school, literally anything. I was reading my journal from this summer, it suddenly hit me...
A few weeks ago I spoke at my church back home. I was not so fond of the idea. Why you ask? Because I hate talking in front of people. Once it's over I am always glad I got up and spoke. God does amazing things and I do fine. But before I actually speak, it's the most stressful/scariest thing ever.
A lot was on my mind this morning, but the one that stood out to me most was the fact that Christians today are just fading into the world. This may or may nor be surprising to you but their was a time when people could tell you were a Christian, by your words, your actions, and they could see Christ's love through you.
Yes, encouragement. Everyone knows what that is, yet we've forgotten how far it can go and how it completely changes someone's day, attitude, and perspective.
Things are constantly changing around us. For example, words. Words are changing constantly, but more importantly the meaning of the word.
I forget a lot of things....probably more than most. Things like keys, wallet, phone, papers, some days I even forget shoes. But something a lot of us including myself forget is prayer. Maybe we don't forget to pray but we forget how powerful it is.
