North Carolina it’s good to be back! I am here for Spring break and just as busy here as I am at school. But I have to say it is SO great to be back on southern soil and the land of good ol sweet tea:) Man I was so excited the second that sweet tea hit my lips and went down my throat....it was a party for my taste buds:) boy was it goooooood! On the drive back, and let me tell you it’s a long drive from KC to NC! However the Lord always uses it to grow me closer to Him and give me a moment with Him….A Jesus moment! When I was driving the last stretch from TN to home I was looking at the mountains and just talking my heart away to the Lord, and it hit me, like really legit hit me….I am created to bring glory to the Savior. I know that people always say it, but do I act like it? Do I live my everyday like my life is not my own, but my Father’s to use for His glory? No I don’t….I’ve been so focused on my classes, homework, work, and ministry that I don’t praise Him with every breath. I am stressed and tired like everyone else, but I get caught up in the exhaustion. But the Lord has really just shown me and given me a desire to have joy in Him, and live every breath like I should….and that is pointing the glory to Him, praising Him through it all, and finding joy that I am not my own, but my Father’s to use me for His glory! When you think about it we can find freedom in the fact that we are not our own but the Lord’s. Some may think it’s binding, however I see it as freedom. I shouldn’t worry what others think or if they are critical, I shouldn’t worry what my ministry looks like, and if I’m “doing enough” I shouldn’t let those things define me, but be obedient to the creator and daily remind myself that I AM NOT MY OWN!
