School Is Back!


Well, school is back. The Christmas break didn't seem long enough. I am somewhat glad to come back though since I am a senior in high school and this is my last semester. I'm going to graduate!!! There are only three people in my graduating class but one will be gone when we graduate. So the ceremony will include me and one other person. I can't believe this is my last semester. It's almost over! I will go on to do more college classes and hopefully become a math teacher. I think I'll enjoy teaching. The Lord has done much in my life that I have to be thankful for including my schooling. Being home schooled has been a privilege.

There are still trials that I must go through, but if they draw me nearer to Christ then I am happy to go through them. Suffering for His sake gives me joy. A joy that is hard to explain yet when I'm talking to another believer they do understand because they too have felt it. I don't know if I'm making any sense to anyone but that doesn't matter as long as I know that I love my Lord and want to serve Him in the best way that I can. I fail at times but that doesn't mean that I give up. I repent of my sins and turn back to Christ. I have learned lately that I must look at my heart daily and examine my motives for whatever I am doing at the moment and ask myself...Am I doing this for Him or for Me? Is my aim to glorify God and not myself? I fall short so many times but I do wish to serve Him and I am so thankful that my Lord is gracious and allows me to repent and turn back to Him.
