I am weary and burdened. I come to you oh God. Give me peace. Give me rest.

My Prayer


Second semester of college at UTSA started recently. Also, I changed my life around. 

I will admit to being a "lukewarm" christian. I went to church on Sundays in the hope of absorbing the Pastors wise words while I was half asleep. I had a bad relationship and even worse friends. I wandered through my days just going with the flow. I recently got into a lot of trouble. I reached that point in my life, again, where i realized i can't live my life alone. I needed God but I felt guilty. I thought, "Who am I compared to God, my Father. How will he simply take me back after the thousands of times I failed him". But regardless of my lucrative operations where I only did things to benefit myself, His love still remained. 



The Sunday before 2nd semester started, I prayed. Before I slept, I bowed my head and prayed about everything. I prayed to God first praising and honoring Him for my life. Then glorifying and thanking Him for taking me back. I prayed for better friends and getting closer to the ones I already have. I prayed that I would be an example for what He, what God stands for. I prayed that I could get more involved with my wonderful church, FBCUC. I prayed for everything. 

Next day, Monday, I meet at least 20 new friends at school in a matter of 2 hours. I met Andrew a couple weeks ago; along with "Miss Friendly City," Sarah, who is very mean. jk I love them both very much.  I then get invited to go to C.U.B. aka Church Under the Bridge

 My buddy Andrew aka A-Stud, who might I add is one of the best friends I have ever had, invited me to C.U.B.  This church under the bridge outreach has helped me humble myself and realize a lot of things about myself. 
--TIMEIN--

I also got a lot closer to my friend Katie! I love her very much!

I also met Aaron. I guess you can say we're accountability partners and he has significantly blessed my life!

I don't know where I'm trying to go with this blog...I'm just so grateful that God has brought me back on the right track and that I am no longer lukewarm but I am red hot. Im on fire for God and on fire because I'm so sexy.  I'm grateful that God has blessed me with wonderful friends. Katie, Andrew, Sarah, Aaron, Nicole. These are my new and renewed friends. I love them. I love my God.
