Life is a journey. Everyone's journey is different and continually changing. But it's up to each of us to write our individualized journeys. Our lives are what we make them to be. Obstacles will appear in every one but we can choose whether we will let them make us stronger or if we will let them defeat us. This blog is a glimpse at my journey that will hopefully inspire other journeys.

nothing left to be prideful about
One thing God taught me at Student Life Camp is that i have been looking at life all wrong. i have been struggling with pride and this was my thought process: "if i get closer to God, i will just be even better than everyone else so how do i do that without getting prideful?" and that is all wrong. i would try to get myself to be humble, but obviously that failed since i did it with my weak self (who thinks she is stronger than she really is!). but God put a thought in my head at the beginning of last week: what is my "good" scale made of? who is on it? because if i am comparing myself to the world, it is hard to not think i'm good because i live for the Lord and don't drink or cuss or any of that. but if i compare myself to the perfect, holy, and GREAT God, i am absolutely NOTHING and i have NOTHING to boast about. GOD gave me my talents and strengths, HE has given me the boldness when i witness, and everything else "i" have done for His kingdom is not me at all. i am just the messenger, simply the girl He chose to use. i have done nothing but give my life to Him. and when i really look at my life, it could be SO much better than it is. so no, i am not great, i am nobody, and i like it that way because God deserves ALL the glory and ALL the praise.
