"Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Eph. 5:1-2
This past couple weeks has reminded me so much of how precious life truly is. Last week was our Revival on campus and it was so good to be worshiping along so many other students from UMHB. My sister also had my niece last Monday and she is so beautiful and little yet full of life. We also lost a good family friend of ours back home. I was overjoyed and yet burdened with all that had happened in my life. God took this time to remind me how very important it is to live my life to the fullest it can be. I was reminded that every person I meet I should show kindness and love to even in the smallest of ways. I reminded myself that every word out of my mouth would reflect my life and my heart. I wasn't complete sure that everything I was saying and allowing to be said around me was from love. The realization that I should've been spending my time building people up and making sure to look for the good in all. I decided to change and to become better at loving. I want to be a person that other undoubtedly know that I am a Christian by how I live yet was I showing that? A question I had no answer for. Life goes far to quickly to be tearing others down or making them feel unwanted. I had to make a conscience decision to change and to be more aware of how I live and what I talk about. This isn't an easy thing it makes me think twice about what I say and sometimes I don't catch something I did until after the fact. But I am going to be more loving and caring to others even if it's in the little things that I do in my life.
Also this past weekend I went with our AMA (American Marketing Association) group to New Orleans and I got to network and learn about marketing more. It taught me a lot about different types of marketing and also how to really stand out when looking for jobs. I was glad for all the people I met and all the opportunities that were made available to me!
