Will Not Move

As I am sitting up at 2:26 in the morning writing a 10 page paper, I realize how lucky I am. It is not everyday that a person will stay up with you, in the rough padded student center, motivating you to keep moving on, falling asleep on you because she is so tired, but refusing to go back to her own bed. Emily Cleveland means so much to me because it is the endless love and selflessness that is keeping her up. She wants me to succeed, to be my best, and she is willing to stay up till the crazy hours of the night with me. She is sleeping now but I just want to thank her and tell her how lucky I am to have her by my side. Thank you so much Emily, I love you.

Intentionality

Recently I have been really focusing on intentionality and how intentional I am in my life towards God's will for me. Now am really focusing out on this and seeing what are some of the distractions keeping me from doing this and seeing God's will for my life. Is it the T.V, the internet, or the countless hours I am spending on facebook that is distracting me from God's will in my life and the growth that he wants for me? This is something that I am really trying to examine in my life and be more intentional to do while seeking what he wants from me. I really want to start taking walks, how ever long they may be, with no distractions and just really focus in solitude to what God is speaking to me about and to really grow in him.

Eye Opening

God has been doing some crazy things in my life. As the first year of college at SAU seems to be rushing to an end, I find myself seeing a lot of growth. I have developed many friends who I have been blessed to meet and know, and will be friends with for a very long time. I have been a part of a special radio team and have been able to provide my listeners with encouraging music as they listen throughout the day, sharing things that I have been learning in my life. I have been through many things and seen a shift in myself, especially on a spiritual level. With the help of a very special person in my life, Emily, I have been blessed to really get into the word and have been seeing things that I have never seen before. I have been searching deep into God's word like I have not done before and God is showing me things that have changed my life and perspective. He touches me daily, weather it be praying as I wake up, I feel refreshed and in step with his plan for me and I seem to be more loving to people when I do that. Worshipping him every part of my day is truly an amazing feeling. My freshman/sophomore year at SAU has been a very good one. I have been blessed by many people who love me, and many who have helped me grow. I am a very blessed man.
