Lately I've really been struggling with some things in my life. Even though I've been in high school, for what, 3 1/2 years, I'm starting to really have a hard time with it. I'm not in any hurry to graduate, but I'm tired of the smallness of it.
This world is so big, but when I'm sitting in school, trying to concentrate on whatever I'm doing, I forget that this world is huge. I start to think of the world as just high school. I forget that there's others who are less fortunate, I forget that some people don't go to school, I forget about other people and I just start thinking about me. I put school, and the drama that comes with it before God, making it my idol.
If your where one of my close friends, you'd know that I have a hard time getting really emotional and I really only cry when I laugh, or sneeze.. This morning at church though they showed a video for Operation Christmas Child, a program where shoe box's full of toys and gifts are packed up and sent off to less fortunate kids around the world, and surprisingly I cried! I honestly don't think that it was "me" crying though. Sometimes when I pray, I pray that I love others as the Lord loves, and I see others as the Lord see's them, and I think this morning he answered that prayer, and I felt the Lords heart and how he feels about the world.
What I'm trying to say is, this world is so much bigger than myself and high school, and I need to remember that. I need to constantly remember that there is people out there who need help and who need Jesus. It's time I stop acting and thinking so worldly.
BTW- this is the video I watched this morning:
Operation Christmas Child
I'm going to be packing some shoe box's, if anyone wants help out, just let me know!
"Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect." -Romans 12:2 (NCV)
