Ok so I’m finally getting to this whole “blogging” thing or whatever you kids are calling it these days, and I’m sorry it’s taken me soo long. To be honest, I haven’t had the time, crazy as it might seem! School has kept me on my toes even without my usual distractions of music, 30rock, and the bookface. Not to mention I’ve been spending a big bulk of my time with friends. It’s been crazy good. I think that friendship has been the biggest thing for me this fast in all honestly, I feel miles closer to some of my friends that I’d hadn’t wholeheartedly talked to before. I could go on for paragraphs about my new relationships and how blessed by them I feel, but essentially, I'm so uplifted by them, and it’s all thanks to God. The best part though it these are my friends from school, that’s right chillins, public school. You public school goers can relate when I say it can be so hard to find solid, awesome, Jesus prasin’ kids there. Well look harder because these people are apparent and on fire for God! It is so awesome to have friends that are so genuinely excited for my relationship with God, and they're so encouraging! I’ve gotten so many good band recommendations (because the lack of my usual Katy Perry has been the worst!), bible passages, and just random gifts and letters. It’s ridiculous, and I don’t deserve any of it. The best thing my friend sent me was this verse though. I’d heard it before but it was just that right moment, perfect point in time where it hit me,

“For I know the purpose I’m planning for you, plans for peace, not evil, to give you a future and hope.”    --Jeremiah 24:11

Days before she had asked me about the recent happenings in my life and I just spilled. A lot has happened in this year, lots of amazing ups, but more so the downs. It’s been tough but this verse is so true to course! God has an amazing purpose for it all, and the plan is for peace, not evil or despair. I have a future of hope in God, so there no need or reason to be down. And that my friends, is incredible. Praise God for these amazing friends and all they’re revealing to me about life and God. I’m one blessed little fool!
