So, it's been a while since I have posted a blog. Which isn't a good thing because when I post, it is usually a reflection of how my spiritual life is going (more blog posts = growing with the Holy Spirit). I dunno, kind of stinks but I do have good news!
I got to go on an amazing white water rafting trip with my church to Tennessee. Got to strengthen my friendship with some friends and meet some new people as well. It is so cool to go away for a weekend with some awesome friends and just relax and see God's beautiful creation. I have found that the people you surround yourself with are kind of the person that you become. I am okay with that because my friends are positive influences on me that want me to grow as a believer. Even this weekend I get to go away again!! to Orlando for Rock the Universe! I am so excited just to go have a blast. I hate concerts, theme parks and big crowds but I am going anyway! I am just excited to go and hang out with friends and create some memories.
With all that said, I need to make sure that I am not getting too "comfortable." Here I am with my "set" of friends at church. I am thankful that I have awesome strong christian friends to hang out with, however I don't want to neglect the fact that it is a ministry that welcomes in visitors non-stop. I need to make sure that when I walk into church that I don't just gravitate to my friends but that I look for the visitors who may be by themselves and make them feel welcome! I know that me and a lot of other people have felt like that at one time and it is nice when someone comes up to you and introduces themselves.
I really just need to work on not making my social life and idol that takes away from God's purpose and gifts that he has given me. I have done that before back home and I don't want to start that again. I have learned from my mistakes and I am ready not to make them again!! lol. =)
