the sun is still shining

rainy days make me feel gloomy and wanting to just stay inside and watch lifetime movies all day long. unfortunately i cannot do that because i have school and a million other things to do.

but whenever it rains, the sun is still shining. i always think that because i cant see the sun on rainy or cloudy days then it like took a day off and is not there anymore. but that is not true. its still there, shining more than ever...just the circumstances are clouding the view and i just have to trust that the sun is still doin its thing.

now, relate that to Jesus. He is always there, and always shining down upon us. yet sometimes we dont feel it or we cant see it or we believe it. even though storms come into our life or circumstances cloud our view- Jesus is still faithful and still true. All i have to do is remember He is still there doin His thing. - Loving me, caring for me, always here for me.

So even though sometimes it doesnt seem like it, Jesus is there always and forever.

Believe in it, act like it.

victory found in the Cross

So, I am back at school now, and I love being back, however i miss summer SO flippin much.
I miss:

my mommy
my youth group
the interns/staff
the YMCA
and my doggie

however the things here are amazing:

great Christian community of friends
practical application interesting classes
Christian environment
living with my sister

I have started reading this "read the bible in a year Bible" and the reading today was from Mark about the crucifixion of Christ. you know, it was so cruel that He had to go through all of that for me....like when i read that i just kinda read over it- but when you really dwell on it it was a terrible death- however praise the Lord He raised His Son from that so we can experience eternal free life in Him.

I am just so thankful for that and just so thankful for what He did for me tonight.

I am falling more in love with Him, falling out of love with the world and being content in who i am in Christ. its the most amazing thing i have ever experienced..and i never want it to ever go away.

~living a victorious life with my Savior~
