Here it goes, my first ever blog post. I'm not quite too sure where or how I should start this thing. I suppose everything starts with a new beginning and that's where I'm at. NEW, NEW, NEW. The past couple of months have been filled with exciting and of course the "not-so-exciting"new things.
NEW FRIENDS, NEW REKINDLED FRIENDSHIPS, NEW LOSS OF A FRIEND, NEW FINDINGS IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, NEW CHURCH, NEW SINGLE LIFE, NEW TASTES IN MUSIC, NEW FAVORITE COLORS, NEW HOBBIES, NEW "BECOMING-GOOD-FRIENDS-WITH-MY-MOM", NEW LOVE FOR GELATO, NEW COFFEE PREFERENCES, NEW APARTMENT, NEW PLETHORA OF RANDOM FACTS ABOUT THE BODY, NEW LOVE FOR SERVING, NEW "I'M-ACTUALLY-STARTING-TO-DO-NURSE-THINGS" MOMENTS, NEW FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES, NEW INSPIRATIONS, NEW GOALS, NEW MASCARA, NEW WAYS I'M TRYING TO LIVE MY LIFE, NEW FAVORITE SPOTS, AND OF COURSE, NEW REALIZATIONS ON HOW CHRIST IS ACTUALLY BEING SEEN THROUGH ME.
The list could go on for a good length of time. Obviously, most of these aren't life changing, but nonetheless, I've learned a lot them. I've always considered myself to be a fairly decent person and am usually described as being friendly and nice. However, today, I realized that not everyone would use these words to describe me. Though, I would expect someone who ran into me on a "bad day" to say that I'm an angry and grouchy person, I surely did not expect this from people who have known me for quite some time. Me, grouchy? I mean, what were they thinking?
This really got me thinking on how I portray the love that was given to me by my savior, CHRIST. Without thinking too hard, I would have said I did I pretty good job at showing that to others. However, I pick and choose who I want to love without even realizing it. Don't we all? I can honestly say that in that moment, I was almost embarrassed to call myself a follower of Christ. People who have known me for years have not actually seen Christ in me! One goal I have made, is to work on showing the God's love for me, to EVERYONE. (Even when I'm tired). There is no excuse for me to be a poor representation of my savior.
TIME FOR SOME CHANGES.
On a less serious note, I've enjoyed many other new things. I now like my coffee extra bold, my new favorite color is yellow, I find tiramisu gelato absolutely delicious, reading on my kindle is my new favorite hobby, and I've discovered a new dock to sit in awe of of God's creation. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE.
