Thanks Giving break was good for me, even though i had to work.
I've though a lot about people I know who have wanteed nothing to do with God because they see the way that His people in the church have acted. Why God's people can't pour out the same love for others that God has poured inot their lives blows my mind away
Why do you think that is? Why is it that we as humans get so caught up in loving ourselves that we begin to forget how much God loves us and how much we have been forgiven. I'm so guilty of this very thing, and then i drive into a ditch, lose my purse, take a 9and1/2 hours detour to realize that the one thing i need is the one thing that i've been ignoring (my relationship with Christ)
I must say it isn't easy to keep faith, to believe in something you can't see. I've had my doubts that is for certain. I've questioned most of my faith and the existance of God theis very year...but you know what i found through it all? I found that no matter how much i fought and tried ot Run away I couldn't. Because i no longer belong to me
It is hard to be radically different from the world (and i know you know what i'm talking about).
I've learned a lot about love this year. What it is, what it is suppossed to look like and how i'm suppossed to share it.
I've learned a lot about the church, what it is, what it is suppossed to look like. I've realized that no earthly churhc will ever have it right. It is a good thing then that God is not limited to the best of mans' capabilities.
So here i am, a senior at a Bible college still searching for her niche in life. And by the grace of God I still believe although i almost gave up, I still hope, although at times i wonder why, and i still persever, even though there are times i wish i could stop.
I wonder what the final chapters of my life will hold?
So, as a senior giving a piece of advice to anyone who is willing ot listen...Life is an adventure make it last for an eternity..

good luck with finding that niche! i still haven't found mine...sometimes wonder if i ever will. it seems like all the things that i love and that make me who i am just don't fit in anywhere--not in any man's life, not in any ministry, not in any job. but i don't think it will be that way for you, sara. you have a simplicity about life that is much more prone to find the perfect "fit". so just smile and be patient. i think that you and i ought to have a little study together. we should count all the times in Psalms that it says "wait". "wait on the Lord", "wait for the Lord", wait wait wait...:)
You have today...don't worry about tomorrow...embrace today.
Hey Elizabeth,
That sounds like a great idea!!! Let's do it.
okay : )
T H is is the deal guys..ERR..gals...Your Niche is constantly changing...its not something you "FIND" and then stay at forever....their are seasons for each niche. For now Sara..You are a Senior in college..and THAT is your niche....in a few months..your niche will be something else..and BOY will that be different. }
Every day..one thing we can Choose to remain our niche..is how much we are willing to allow God to use us...are we open to opportunites or stuck in our convienent, familiar "niche".
((hugs))
