God is Amazing

The month of July has been really crazy and not in a bad way. On top of hanging out with some of the coolest people ever all the time this month amazing things have been happening in my life. I had been really bummed that i hadn't signed up for Super Summer. A week and a half before the TL's were supposed to leave for super summer i found out that i had been signed up and paid for to go. It was amazing. I was so excited. I found out that i was going to be in Orange School with Katy and Amy and was then super stoked. Well a few days before i was supposed to leave i found out that i had been moved to be a TL for Blue School. I was really bummed at first but then became excited because i had started going to Super Summer my blue school year and remembered how that year was my favorite. I had the most amazing week. God showed me a lot while i was there. That he was proud of me for content and patient with the plans that he has for me. That i need to be digging into his word. That marking a check on a checklist of what is "good" isn't good enough. I mean in my life. That God doesn't want me just to know about him, but wants me to be like him and that the only way to do that is by digging into what Jesus did. I had really been praying about a friendship that i had in my life that i wasn't supposed to be in my life. I asked God that when i got back that if he didn't want it there anymore that he needed to remove it because i wasn't strong enough to do it. Sure enough Monday afternoon i received a phone call saying that being friends wasn't going to work. And my so called "friend" belittled me and it made me realize even more how much i didn't need that in my life. God is doing so much in my life right now. I had someone just start asking me questions yesterday about what i believe in a chat on facebook. How cool is that?!? I heard at Super Summer that it's good to ask God to put people in your life to share your story. But if our lives were in line with Jesus than people would come to you. 

So are people coming to you? Does your life reflect the life of Christ? I know I have a lot to work on before i even begin to come close. But God is so amazing. And he's showed me so much in the past week. It's been so awesome!!! I guess i never realized how much God would bless me for being obedient and content with him.
