The light.

Today was the first day of classes and such an emotional day. Our first speaker speaks about hearing God and listening to Him. She's so in tune with Him and you wouldn't believe my experiences if I told you. I just felt Gods presence as he took some of the burdens off my heart. He's taking the darkness from my heart and turning it into light. During the morning session I wrote down a prayer in my journal and at the end I honestly didn't know what I had written until I read over it and I thought I could share that with you all.

"Lord,  my commitment to you is my life. I came to live for you. I give you everything. I have the faith, no matter what I'll have to endure, you will give me the strength. You've made me a strong woman and I've used that blessing incorrectly. Turn the blessings and gifts you have given to me to be used for your glory Lord. I hunger and I thirst for you. I thirst for your love, your wisdom and your heart. I want more than I'm living for. I want you. I want to live the life you've chosen for me. I'm ready. You've taken me through a journey to get to this point and I've taken detours and made my life harder than it needed to be. I'm through with that. That lifestyle will never conquer me again. My sins have been set free. Thank you Lord for your steadfast and unconditional love. I have not and do not deserve a wondrous God like you. I love you. Thank you so much Lord.
Amen."

Yeah, I'm pretty confident God worked through my writing because I don't even remember thinking while I was furiously writing down things.

Tonight we shared some testimonies and it was so good to hear where people come from and who they are and how they got to this point. The people in my group are so so amazing and I already have amazing love for them. God has spoken through my friends to give me comforting words and honestly I just keep using the word amazing because I don't know what else to say! I'm learning so much and with all this knowledge I just can't wait to see what God has in store for me and for my school.
We are truly blessed.
