Tomorrow I leave home for college. Although I am excited and ready for this next step in my life, I have mixed emotions about leaving the people I love. However, I know that Jesus has an awesome plan for me, and that He will never leave me or forsake me...
Jesus, use me at college to help spread your Word. I WANT to be your disciple. I want people to see You through me. Help me to remember this in hard times. Amen

Today Jesus taught me an important lesson. He taught me that it's not okay to judge people based on what other's may have said about them. Making a long story short...This summer I've been working with a few people who don't live Christian lives. It's been very challenging, to say the least, and I don't know how many times I have cried on my drive home, asking Jesus why He put me in such a tough situation. I've tried to work through it, however, and I've prayed that Jesus will help me get through each day. Today, He gave me an answer. There were only two of us in the office today, and it was very busy. The last hour before we left for the day, I had to take something into another lady's office (we'll call her Sue). I'm not sure what started the conversation, but before I knew it, we had talked for over an hour. It started off innocently enough, then it continued to get deeper...into the subject of Church and Jesus Christ. I spoke honestly about Him.

I have to say, I am a fan of abc's hit show The Bachelorette. I always enjoy watching two people fall in love, and I appreciate that they share their beautiful story with us viewers. Tonight while watching the season finale, I wondered if this show, in which I find much entertainment, is actually pleasing to God or not. One comment made by the Bachelorette was "You complete me...you are my everything," to her new fiance. This struck a nerve as I have been battling with this thought for a while. Is it possible for two people to complete each other? For someone to make someone else feel perfectly at ease and peaceful? The answer in God's word is no. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is the only thing that can complete us. He is our "everything." He is the only way to feel true, never-failing love. Why is this concept so hard for us to accept? My prayer is that I will never forget this truth.
