New Beginnings?

Wow, I haven't written here in ages! Well okay, not ages but it has indeed been a long time! So I can say that life right now for me is in a nutshell hectic and inspiring. Hectic in the sense that the semester is drawing to a close pretty soon and I've still got lots to accomplish study wise. Teachers are pressing forward giving us tons of work to do within these last three dreaded weeks of school. On the bright side, I've joined this wonderful bible talk group which my friend Zach introduced me to. I've never felt so accepted in my entire life! I mean these people are surely God sent. They treat me as though i'm their own sister. Going to church on Sundays has never been so exciting! The church we attend is mainly attended by students of the University and College here, therefore most of us are young. It's great to see that young people are so actively involved in the church and have a great passion to do things which is pleasing to God. I feel safe there. It's a feeling that I cannot describe. Imagine having friends with whom I know I can depend on. Imagine going through this entire life knowing that people care for me and will support me in whatever you do. It makes me wonder about people who live in the "world". Those who don't know or don't seek to know God. They are missing out on so much! They're missing out on having great, reliable, trusting friends. The kinds that lift you up and never once say or do anything to hurt you. Why would someone want to go along the "worldy" path and find themselves being hurt by "worldy" friends? I've noticed this, really I do. I ponder on this so much everyday. People are so highly drawn to the bad things of this world because they feel that they will fit in with the "cool" group of friends, when in fact they are setting themselves up for hurt. These "worldy" friends don't care at all about one's well being. I guarantee that at least one time one would be hurt by someone they thought of to be their friend. Drinking, Partying, Immorality? What's it worth it in the end? Why not have a meaningful life with friends who can lift you up in the church; friends that believe in God and love God. Friends that love and care about you because they are filled with the love of God. I guess everyone might have an opportunity at some time in their lives to truly make the decision of following God. However I hope it's sooner than later, for their sake. I want them to see the eternal happiness they can enjoy by being amongst other Godly people. Great friends! Thankyou God for blessing me with these wonderful friends who believe in you and love you too. No one can make me go back to the life I had before when I subjected myself to abuse from ungodly, unemotionless, unreligious friends. I still pray for them and talk to them, but I don't make them my number one priority anymore. I feel at peace now, knowing that i'm blessed with higher friends, those from the church, those who believe in God, and love me for me :)
