Things change.

I've changed.

Somedays I wake up frightened about how much I've changed. Though I still struggle with some things in my life, I know God is taking in a direction I've never been before. It's wonderful and frightening at the same time.

Today, I started volunteering at my church. I loved it. Though I felt a little awkward mingling with middle and high school students, it felt great to be a servant. I know this is what I've been called for. To serve others, to teach others, and to write for others. But what is most rewarding about all of it, is that I know I'm using my gifts and talents to glorify God and serve His kingdom. That's eternal stuff right there.

Granted, I do still have issues in my life. Sins that I'm daily confessing and temptations that I lift up to the Lord. Though sometimes I'm not always successful in resisting, He is still faithful. Jesus has taught me a lot about faithfulness and commitment. Those two things are very difficult for me.

Some people don't like the changes though.

And that's OK, because it's God's work in me. I can't argue or compromise that.

I'll try to update here often.
