something beautiful

"hey now this is my desire, consume me like a fire, cause' i just want something beautiful to touch me." For me, coming back to Messiah College for my second year I needed this something beautiful to touch me and be by my side and this something beautiful is my Savior. Needless to say, He was by my side more than ever. Walking into this new year initially full of worry and fear turned into being stronger in my faith than ever. I had a new realization of all the blessings in my life and my eyes were opened to God's amazing works. He has blessed me with a family who is always by my side through thick and thin. One who I can run to in times of trouble or share my greatest moments with. When I am away from them, He has blessed me with a best friend and boyfriend who I can run to just the same and share my faith with. He has blessed with so many people who love me and I have learned to love them in return. His love is the perfect example of who I want to be and how I want to treat those that surround me. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 says, May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ. This is my hope as I continue throughout my year that I would be humble and loving like my God who always gives me the love I am yearning for. So often it is easy for me to get caught up in the world around me and all the things that may make me worry but having patience and faith in Christ will erase all these worries away and continue to help me grow. I want to live for Him and no one else.
