Fullfilling. cheerful. hugs make me happy.

can it seriously get any better?

ADORATION

Look at the God of Abraham, the one who created the entire earth by His word? There is no beginning and no end in Him. This is the ONE I believe in, and I am overwhelmed! I am fulfilled, I am satisfied. I am helped in my time of heart break, loved when I make thoughtless, foolish mistakes. Asked to live in freedom, when bondage seemed so familiar. I went from nothing to eternity. The last, overlooked, poor, slaves are first to be chosen in this Kingdom. He didn't just call smart, "put together" people, but prefers the mediocre man. He gave the low man a purpose in Him. He accepts all.

RECENTLY ACCOMPLISHED

As I sit in my dining room, 4 days away from jumping on a plane and landing in a different nation, I am pretty excited!! I just wanted to document some info...

As of late, I got my two upper wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, and it was an exciting/ nerve racking event. It seriously didn't hurt at all! The part I especially appreciated was that my dentist walked me through each thing he was doing. He started by numbing my jaw, which is normal, and boy am I glad I didn't have to endure that pain without it. But after that, he basically dug around my tooth, then drilled a piece off, so that he could get leverage. then he pulled! As he was pulling, I was praying God would grant him favor, because I didnt know what would happen. But everything went smoothly. $350 bucks later, I was sitting with ice on my cheeks, and happy as could be! haha Dude, it was unbelievable because my mouth didnt even swell! *(pictures?)

I also got bit by a cat, which reports say are the worse animal bites, because 50% become infected. Did you know they could become fatal as well? ** As did mine. not fatal, but infected. It swelled up and became red, but I didn't want to take antibiotics(anti-life), because they can mess up the "ecosystem" (for lack of a better word) of your tummy. So I took probiotics(pro-life), and iced my hand while I iced my cheeks... it was a win win situation! how glorious! I love productivity.

CURRENTLY DOING

Anyways, the most important things I have been learning lately have been REALLY cool. I know I may sound abnormally peppy, it's been apart of what I have been learning. There is a scripture that has pretty much changed my life.

"Be joyful ALWAYS, pray continually, and give thanks in all situations for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Along with reading this book "awaken the giant within" by tony robbins and going through an unexpected (but greatly appreciated) heart break, I have been focusing on the positives of life. Seriously, I need to change, and the only way I have found is to take God at His word. I started looking at the goals I want to accomplish, which is simply place GOD first. Secondly, I have been asking for more guidance, and wisdom as well as discernment from Him. Lastly, I have been searching restlessly for something to be thankful in every situation. This has seriously, changed my life. My thoughts have been life giving, because they are focusing on God and the good He is accomplishing in my life.

This season has been very impactful on my relationship with Jesus, as well as my life as a whole in general. Just for leverage, Paul was very positive in His view towards Jesus, he understood that through his trials, he was accomplishing his goal, which was to know Christ and him crucified. Homeboy was almost crucified tons of times, by all kinds of things, and I have a hunch that he knew Jesus pretty well. :) Nonetheless, I give all the glory to God for this change of path, because it started off with decisions, and how powerful they can be. then it lead to putting God first, and making myself excited about it. then it snowballed into falling in love with my "first love" again, which made putting him first easy!! now its a season of studying. so here goes nothing, Lord, I will study, and love every minute you give to do to just that. May it ALL be for the glory of Jesus. come and touch my scars.

** The reason why cat bites are so dangerous is because cats werent domesticated till waaayyy after dogs. Which means they developed some pretty mean ways of defense. Apparently when they hiss, it coats their teeth with disgusting bacteria, so that when they eventually bite, they mess you up.
