I'm starting to see why I am here (at Belmont that is). For a long time I thought it would be this giant epiphany that let me know why God led me here. But instead it was more of a "oh, so that's what its all about" moment. Which makes me feel dumb for not realizing this all along. Last night I was doing my bible study and it was talking about how God blessed Abraham, but didn't stop there. He blessed him that we might receive a blessing through him. I wish that I could recap all that it was talking about more adequately...but basically to sum it up...We're blessed to bless others. I realize this statement it probably pretty common to you. But just think about it for a second. If we took it to heart, and started living it out that our entire way of life would be transformed. I started thinking about how sorry I have been feeling for myself...not having many true friends...or money...and so on. The thing is...I'm not here for myself. Granted, I am at Belmont to receive an education...and so on...which is for myself. But I mean, that it isn't all about ME having friends, or ME feeling at home, or ME having someone fall in love with me. But if is all about pouring out into others live....being a friend to those who need one. Encouraging others who are down. And who knows, maybe through this I will in turn gain the very thing that I am longing for. Well, that is just something that I have been thinking about lately.
Basically, I love God and want to be just like Him...ahhhhh. I think that sums it up! Good night all!
