Life is What You Make it.

I’m overwhelmed. God’s love is so powerful. This weekend I volunteered at the Food Bank, did a 24 hour fast with my youth group kids, and then tonight we prayed and read the stories of the imprisoned. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of poverty, sadness, darkness, and vile in our world…. But I’m also overwhelmed with the amount of goodness that I am so blessed with having. The people I am friends with are here to make a difference. The people I have surrounded myself with are the people who are willing to change the world… Literally one body cell at a time. Between Advocare (fitnessNsuccess.com & workwithchampions.com), my Church, and my family… This is building a bigger, brighter future for my fiance and I. God rewards in mysterious ways. This weekend at the Hunger Retreat, my fiance pretty much forced me to go to confession with him… I didn’t want to. I felt far away from God. But maybe that’s the best time to go… When you’re feeling alone and far away, like nothing else matters. I felt so convicted and so much sorrow for my sins that I cried in front of the priest. He smiled at me and said, “Although you’ve sinned against God, yourself, and your fiance… I know that you have love for him. I see it. You’re love is overwhelming. His love for you is also overwhelming. All you do is out of love for him.” and he’s right…… I can’t wait to marry my best friend. <3 He brings me so close to Jesus.
