A New Me

It has been a while since my last post.  It is just that life has gotten pretty busy with starting at a new school and the development of a new relationship.  It has been such a blessing to notice the spiritual growth I have achieved, especially in this last year.  I have finally come to accept Jesus’ love for me and that it is truly unconditional.  I do not say this to say I have a license to sin, but rather I say it in the sense that I know Christ will not judge me.  For the first time in my life I cannot really describe my feelings.  I have lived the majority of my life, ALL OF IT, based on my emotions and this is the first time that God is in the lead.  I will be honest and say this new relationship has me scared because I want so badly to be the man of God I need to be.  The beauty is I can tell this person has been placed in my life by God.  There is a connection that only he can spark and this has happened.  Many of my old thoughts and ways of thinking have been destroyed just by how she looks at me and that she loves that I love Jesus the way I do!

I am noticing God’s timing, pacing and foundation all over this life.  It is remembering to surrender to him daily.  The new me is understanding I don’t have to win every debate, I don’t have to be right all the time.  God has humbled me for the good.  I can see why my paths crossed with my new close friend last year.  I learned so many things about relationships from her, by working together everyday in the same room.  I know life will throw bumps and is always stirring drama, but as long as I keep my eyes focused on Jesus and let His love pour into me, the overflow will cover all of those I love.  Amen

One Love, One King, All Christ
