Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

Doing It Better The Second Time Around: Lesson Learned.
I have realized my selfishness over the past year. Achieving my first 4.0 ever in my life was great for a second, but then I realized the time I have wasted for my selfish gain in relationships and school, I neglected to set my eyes on the more permanent things the Lord had in stored for me. God gave me several chances to redeem myself, but I fell flat onto my face. Near the end, I had nothing left, my soul was empty, my heart was black, my salvation was nearly gone. This was all because I had placed relationships and school as my idol and God being God, removed every single one of my idols. It has been definitely been a tough year for growth, but praise the LORD for breaking into my calloused heart and cleansing me of my sin. Praise the Lord for His provision of grace! He has been so good to me.
Next school year is THE year I can start on a fresh clean slate. I have realized my inabilities and inconsistency with getting to know the freshmen girls, but I still have a year and half left to become more intentional and relational with some of them. I do hope that the Lord will give me the words to speak and the ability to love.
MORE OF CHRIST and less of me.
To make CHRIST known.
