Today has been a pretty good day, though I can not get some things off of my mind. This morning there was an employee meeting at my job discussing how we would soon have a different name, and be working for a different company. The meeting went very well, and afterwards I stuck around and talked video games with some co workers and my GM.
Since I've been home I've had a hurtful relationship on my mind. One I had to walk away from. It's been kind of bothering me today because I know I only would get hurt out of that relationship, and recently the person text me. I have yet to respond and it's been a couple days, but there's still that urge to text that person back. So I have to stay strong. It's rough, but I know God is going to bring me through this. God didn't bring me this far through it just so that I could fall back down into that hole. It helps to have the people I love here to talk to about it. It really does help when I can just lay out on the table what is really on my heart. I think that's how God intended us to be with each other. To be able to lay our hearts out on the table with our closest friends. Ya know the ones that stick closer than a brother.
I can say that God has definitely been growing me in the past few weeks when it comes to trusting in Him with all of this. My eyes are also being opened as I said in my last blog. I want my life to glorify Him. I want to live they way Jesus lived. Jesus lived a life of love, a life of action, and a life of war. I'm seeing that God has definitely given me the freedom, power, and opportunity to do that. He gives us all the freedom, power, and opportunity to truly live. He is glorified when we truly live. These are things He's been reminding me of through the bible, and the book "Waking the Dead."
God not only calls us to truly live, but supplies the power to do so. When we trust in Him with our hearts, He wakes them up. He makes our hearts beat fully alive, and it's so amazing.
I am more alive now
than I've been in a long time
all because of Jesus
