Embrace It Daily

Lately, I have been feeling like my life finally is taking direction instead of going a million different ways at once. I am regaining control of myself, my activities, my job and my grades. I attribute most of this to my new friends. Even though I have only known them for a short while I am so thankful for all of my new friends, they are wonderful influences on me and I could not imagine a more perfect senior year in college.

Lucky for me, they all have really good relationships with God. This is what my life is currently lacking. Let me give a little background on my relationship with God: When I was a little girl my family attended church regularly and then as I started to get older we gradually started to go less and less until we didn't go at all. For a couple of years in highschool, I attended church by myself. I belonged to a church and was active in the youth group there and even went on a Pilgrimage with them. Unfortunately, I faded out of this eventually as well when my job started to pick up. 

Now I find myself wanting to reconnect with God as a senior in college. One day I confided in one of my friends about how serious I was about reconnecting and then she surprised with me with something that made my week! She surprised me with a little book called "The Message," this is a bible put into modern English. Now one of my goals for this year is to try and read a little bit of it every time I get the chance - every day being the most ideal situation. This is why I decided to go with this quote:

This quote is to help keep me motivated to continue to make progress in my new bible. :)
