The point...

been learning a lot of lessons lately... and the more i learn, the more i realize that God's goal is not to make my life happy, comfortable and easy. that's really not the point... His goal is for me to reflect His image and fulfill the purpose He has created me for. as life goes on i'm beginning to realize that i will not always be in the same place doing the same thing with the same people. Lesley's leaving, Jamie's leaving and other events in my life really made me see how important it is to always hold everything loosely and never take anything for granted assuming it will never change, because it's almost a guarantee that it will. the point of my life is not to stay in the same place as long as its convenient and suits my desires. no... God has something bigger and greater in store. changes are hard and painful even when they are for the best, but if it's God's plan for me, then I'm willing... so here we go... let the adventure begin... its to big for me to wrap my mind around and i so want to hold on to the old and the familiar, but i know there is greatness in pressing on ahead... so i have to let go of some things to recieve even bigger things... exciting? i know... scary? yes. but i love this saying: if it doesnt scare you, then it's not God. so yea, this is God.
