Well the truth I just erased four lines of a different blog because of the song playing on my Pandora station right now. Savior King is the song playing. I love my Savior. I love my Lord.
I have noticed over and over lately that it's so hard. I like education. I can't stand the attitudes of the ones I am forced to learn with. I have noticed that it's hard to be different for the Lord, but I have been trying hard lately. Not hard enough. I know the Lord is thankful and proud of my tries but he can't wait for the day Heaven will rejoice in my success. I am reading the book of James. Something happened Wednesday, I don't know why but when I passed someone swearing or being rude in the hallways I would just say to myself, "Lord help them or be with them," one of the two. I was surprised how much I said it. I was proud I remembered my Lord sometimes throughout the day. Today was a little worse but I asked someone not to use that language and got the response of, "oh hey, I'm sorry... is this better," then he repeated what he said using a different choice of words. Thank you Lord for that response it gave me hope. I talked to the new girl with the locker next to me. She was great. I feel the love of Christ. I want to share it. Pray I can continue making the small difference.
Here's a story for you I just heard it.
A boy from my school a few years ago was the senior football captain, a big guy, and just like you would imagine a normal football guy. He was killed in a freak accident and my teacher put up a some poster paper to write things to him throughout the time of grief and sadness for all the students. A girl who was made fun of a lot put up that he had a locker next to her and always asked how she was, if anyone was picking on her, and if she had enough lunch money for the day. Then at the end she simply put - He was my best friend.
I hope someone can write something like that about me one day. I want to be that light to someone who can't seem to find their way alone. What difference will it make besides that one day I can hear the Lord say, " Heaven rejoiced when you let your light shine."
