Blogging Beginings

Lately I have read some pretty inspiring blogs. Obliviously inspiring enough for me to start one of my own. I actually 'signed up' (if that is what you call it) to start blogging this summer but I never actually posted anything. So here I am, 2 months in to college, writing my first blog ever.

My how much has changed in the last few months of life. I have learned so much about people. I learned that I can think that I had someone memorized, I knew all their secrets. Just when I got to the point where I was pretty sure there is nothing new to find out about someone, they blind side smacked me in the face with something I never expected. In that moment I had to choose how I was going to react. Was I going to judge? Freak out? Or was I going to respond in love? This situation has become a big learning and growing experience for me. It has caused me to take inventory of who I say I am.

In the past few months I have also gotten a lot more involved in church. I love my church! I don't just say that as a "Yay! I am a christian, look at me going to church." I really mean it. I have learned a lot from the people that I have interacted with about personalities. I find it very interesting to step back and observe. I think you can learn a lot about people just by watching them.

Since this post has taken a turn for the random here is a random fact and the new thing I am tryin: I am hosting my first ever small group tomorrow night! I have wanted a small group to be apart of for a while now but the ones that seemed to be for me didn't work with my schedule or I was just too nervous to try one. So, I decided to get together a few other girls that didn't have a small group and now here we are on the eve before our first one! I also really started it because I want to be a good influence on my roommates. They are both not Christ followers but I have faith that fact will change. I know that if they see this weekly gathering of people excited about what God is doing in their lives, they too will want get involved. That is my prayer at least.

Instead of doing my homework today, I prepared for Small Group. I made journals for everyone, wrote a plan and studied a lot about what I am going to do. I even made a logo(if you can even call it that). It is not my best work but it is what came out of designing today.

I think it is time to put a stop to the random 'blogging' (wow, that really is a wired term that I am not used to using.) I will write next time I try something new.
