Tonight I was randomly looking at old messages and chat history on Facebook (because you can awesomely look at really old messages now), and I came across a conversation with a friend from about three years ago that reminded me of how good God is.
Three years ago...
I was going to community college, unsure of whether I would transfer or not.
I had no job.
I had very little ambition or vision for my future.
I lived for daily online chats and texting conversations.
I wasn't alive!
Today I am a senior at Spring Arbor University, looking to graduate in Spring of 2013 with a teaching degree, certified to teach both math and biology at the secondary level.
Now I'm not trying to imply that a degree is everything--certainly not!
My point is rather that I now have a calling and a passion that I didn't have before.
I have an amazing, daily relationship with God. (I'm constantly learning more about what this really looks like/should look like.)
I'm stoked for my future, but I'm also really excited to just live life right now.
I could go on and on about all the differences between my life now and my life three years ago, but basically I'm just in awe of the goodness and faithfulness of God.
He has used some really tough times to turn my heart around and draw me closer to Him and into such a better, more full life.
I never realized back then how dead I was. Looking back and reading my messages made me realize that I wasn't really living three years ago.
But I am now.
Jesus is my everything, and I'm STOKED to see where else He takes me and what else He has for me.
Proverbs 3:5-6
