This first week of school has been eye opening and life changing. My first class was Bible Study Methods. When walking into that class you don't really expect much since its called "Bible Study Methods", but I'm glad that I was wrong. Our first assignment was to pick one verse from Philippians chapter 1. This is what I chose: "According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death." Phil 1:20 I honestly did not know why this verse spoke to me at first till I started breaking it down. word. for. word. I realized how I haven't been a living, thriving vessel for Jesus. I honestly was convicted in my heart about so many things that I was okie with.(Now, I know that some who may read this will most likely disagree with me and what I'm about to say, but whatever, its life & its not interesting if I don't offend at least one person.) It says "CHRIST WILL BE MAGNIFIED IN MY BODY" that's where it hit me and all I can think about is all the crap I've taken in. I never thought I was going to be this person, who got convicted about drinking. I seriously know now that I can not drink alcohol. It's not for me. All I could think about was "How in the world am I going to magnify my Jesus, my Abba Father, when I'm a drunk?" ....yeaaaaa that won't be happening. Now, I'm not saying that YOU ALL NEED TO STOP DRINKING! I'm only saying this towards myself & if you feel the same way for yourself then cool, were likeminded. If not, cool, I still love you.  In all, I've loved being here. My soul has needed it. I feel like I've been out on a stormy sea for so long, and now I'm on solid ground, walking amongst the streams of living water. Seriously though, there's little streams from the hot springs every where. He's showing me, telling me, reassuring me, comforting me, restoring me. I'm learning how precious I am to Him. I'm truly learning that my weeping in my life is turning into joy. I'm experiencing the everlasting Morning for the first time. I'm gradually moving out of mourning and into morning. I didn't know I was missing out on this. When His glory shines down on me its more then just warming my skin, its warming my heart. I'm in a time of Jubilee. He's blessed me with great friends down here too. I know that many of you are praying for me, and I thank you so much for that. He's blessing me. I've waited along time for this time. Prayers are really answered my friends, please do not give up on Him. Its only a matter of time. If I can do it, you can do it. I have faith in you, and better yet I have faith that Jesus is providing for you.
