Lately I have been so consumed by so many things that I haven't been able to write much on here.
God has been doing so many things in my life and I have been so blessed by so many people around me.
In the past month, my eyes have really been opened to what God is doing in my life.
A couple of weeks ago a close friend and I were at the point of not speaking and it was devastating to me. He has been like a brother to me for a very long time and we had begun to let our differences and silly circumstances come in the way of our friendship. I hate losing any friend but especially someone that is literally a brother to me. We finally after weeks of not talking and ignoring one another sat down and hashed everything out. We began to meet every Wednesday night to hang out and I hope that will continue next fall when we get back to school...and he promised he would skype me over the summer :)
God has also shown me the value of prayer. I have begun to try and pray more. When I was younger and still in High School, I would pray every night and that ended when I came to college. I wasn't finding time to pray anymore. My life felt like something was missing so I began to pray more. When I was going to class, at lunch, etc. I decided that I needed to stop telling people I would pray for them and just do it at that moment. One of my greatest friends was going through a break-up and before we even began to pray, my friend asked me what I needed prayer for and as my friend was praying for my needs I felt like a new person, and that a burden that had been weighing on my heart was now lifted. I thought about how prayer really does impact a person, so I started a prayer board. (Picture to come later) and on my little dry erase board, I have all the prayer requests and praises I can think of. I hope that my prayers can be as effective as the one that my friend prayed for me.
The other big thing that God has taught me is how much we let our technology get in our way. We spend so much time every day on our cell phones, lap tops, Ipods and the list goes on and on and on. My lap top broke three times this semester and the final time it really gave out and I had to send it in to the company so they could repair it. I had so much more time to spend with friends and do things that I had been putting off because I had to be on facebook for hours and watch my favorite shows when they finally got to hulu. God used my lap top being broken to show me how much friends matter and that I need to stop putting my technology in front of things that matter way more.
So this has been my crazy life over the past month...I will be trying to update this more often and I hope you enjoy!
Loves,
Ang
