New Beginnings

I'M BACKKKKK!

I have been meaning to blog for a while now but just couldn't find the best time to, and today I feel like it's perfect. I have been through a lot in the past month and I can't even tell you how much the Lord has done for me to get me through it all. I have finally surrendered my whole entire life to God. FINALLY. It is the most comforting feeling and I don't know how people who don't have Jesus get by each day. (This is why we need to tell everyone about his Everlasting Love!!)

Side note: I am currently listening to "O Holy Night" by the Glee Cast and I have never been so obsessed.

I just wanted to share how I have been working so much on myself lately. I have been praying that God would just fill me COMPLETELY of the Holy Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit. I want to completely display: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is sooo hard sometimes. I get annoyed easily and I can be rude to my closest friends and family and I hate that about myself. I have been praying all day every day to just work on my amount of love for those around me. I pray that people who see me and get to know me and realize that I am not the person I am on my own; the love of the Lord is the reason I am who I am. I want people to think "There is just something about her that I want to have." I pray that I can look/act different than those who do not have the love of Christ in their lives. I pray this is also everyone who is reading my blog's prayer as well! It's definitely something to think about!

I want to live each day for God, instead of waiting for what He has in store for me in the future. I want to act NOW!

Side note: I am now listening to "Angels We Have Heard On High" by the Glee cast...a-ma-zing.

In my last blog entry I talked about the book "Crazy Love" and I actually finished that book a month ago and then moved on to the next book by Francis Chan called "Forgotten God". It's all about realizing the "tragic neglect of the Holy Spirit". This book was EXACTLY what I needed this past month. I only have a few pages to go of this book, sadly, and I have learned so much! I advise anyone reading this to buy both of those books and start reading...now!

I have been so filled with the Holy Spirit in just a month and it is so awesomely overwhelming. I want more of it! It's like a spiritual high :)

All I ask is for prayer for me and for those around me. I hope all of my friends and I can grow in our relationship with God together...not just a couple of us! Growing in your relationship with the Lord and having accountability partners is so important. I can see God moving in my friends lives and I absolutely love it! I love you all who are reading hehe

I really think I'm going to keep blogging more and more and actually have a successful blog, I'm really going to try at least.

Can't believe tomorrow is December...yay Christmas time!!

Praying for you all,
Holly
