I have recently been working hard on my spiritual practices. Reading Anne Lomott books! Praying truthfully! Not those dressed up prayers. And taking time to contemplate my place in the word. These new added spiritual practices have been very helpful in my time of transition.
I want the best for all I have come into contact during my time here. I am moving on from one of the most wonderful experiences one could ever have. I have had the great opportunity to work with some of the most wonderful children of God anyone could image. I have enjoyed every moment I have had with them, and hope they have grown as much as I have in our time spent together. Along with these young adults, the church family with which they belong has been a great part of my spiritual growth. My church family here has been huge in helping me throughout these past years. I am so grateful I have met some many loving and wonderful people. I have so many hopes for them and hope that they continue on to reach out to others the way they reached out to me.
Friends have, and will always be a key part of my life. I cherish everyone of my friends that I have made through the years. The memories we have made will last a life time and have helped me discover who I am. I hope you all will achieve the greatness you are destined for.
God is everywhere! Sometimes we do not realize this presence! Today was a different day. Sometimes we go about our lives differently to try and mix them up. This is a good thing to practice every once in a while, but is a good way to get "mixed" results. I saw God today in a friend. This friend of mine has one of the biggest hearts. We were talking today and I realized that this person has a true passion for our fellow man kind. This person strives so hard for the betterment of those that come in contact. This is definitely God showing up through one of God's creatures.
1 Peter 1:13-16
Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed. Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; for it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."
