There have been so many cool and beautiful things in my life that just really have been placed on my heart recently. I have been given so many opportunities to pray for people and relationship with them it is kind of ridiculous (in a good way of course). God really has lit a fire in my soul and I love that I can't really control it sometimes and then just end up spouting biblical things to people, it's kind of great. I really enjoy praying out loud now. Wow, never thought I would say that, but it's true, I love praying for my city and home that it will be renewed and changed. My city doesn't have the best rep around these parts and it has been hard at times to stay positive while home for the summer, but I know my God is good and very loving//comforting in times of need.
Prayer works, my friends, and that is something to always keep in mind. Whether it be praying for big change in the world or little change in your own personal struggle, prayer works. I have had the opportunity this summer to pray a ton for the Somali people living in my community. When I pray for them and their salvation I think a lot about how they came to this country, and my community, for freedom because they had none in there own. I pray change in their homeland that the fighting and murder stops. I ask God a lot to bless them and let them know they are loved by Him. People don't really realize how good we have it in our country, we can practice any religion we want and are free to express ourselves in any way we choose. God has also put it on my heart to travel the roads less traveled and think about my life's purpose as well. That hasn't been the easiest for me especially when I've been battling some demons for quite some time. There are just some things in life I'm still unsure about and that is perfectly alright because God knows me and my heart and that is all that matters. I am happy, and it has been awhile since I have been this happy. My happiness has been due to the people I have been surrounding myself with lately. They are some of the most encouraging and loving people. I am so thankful for them and their ability to live life with me. God knew I was struggling and He gave me an army to stand with me and against the devil. Man, there is nothing I am more thankful for than that right now.
