Tonight at youth group we were learning about God's Kingdom. Specifically, Josh talked about the "Kingdom of Love." It is very late, but I thought I would write something between Precalc and English homework :/.
It is amazing to think of God's love. God gives us the same love He shows Jesus. He loves us unconditionally.
- Loving God means loving people.
- Our love for others must start with (loving) God!
- The love of God makes us secure.
I've struggled with God's love for me honestly. But if we can let it pervade every part of ourselves and our lives I cannot imagine how we would be a light for God to a lightless and loveless generation.
We must remember we cannot truly love on our own. We can only do it through God. After all, "we love Him, because He first loved us!"
I just want to leave you with two questions:
- How can you live from this point on in God's love?
- How is God's love affecting the way you live? (Is it?)

college.......hmmm.....
Sorry, I have not posted recently.
Life's been fairly crazy. I visited the University of North Florida this past Tuesday. It is a very nice school. I like the campus. It is well kept and some of the buildings have a contemporary look which I really like. Compared to the University of West Florida, which I visited with my dad a week or two ago, UNF's campus is much nicer. I did not think UWF really kept their campus as nice. I do however like the staff and such at UWF better than UNF. They were just more nice and personable than those at UNF. I do however have friends at UNF and it would be nice to have a connection up there. I visited the campus ministry that Haylee and Kelsey are apart of, ACCESS218, and was not bad. Kelsey actually spoke (she is on staff at ACCESS) and it was cool. I'm still debating on where to go and still dreading it. But, the decision does need to be made soon. I'm just not sure. The people at ACCESS were nice and I got to know some new people. I was able to hang out with Haylee earlier and meet some of her friends, which was pretty cool. It is nice to have a familiar face.
Since I have last written, my dad, brother and I joined Planet Fitness and I have gone only two times. But it is a pretty good place :)
I am done with Circle classes. It's crazy. I will not take another Circle class for the rest of my life. Wow.....Yep.
I still have Precalc, English IV, Personal Fitness, and Theology to finish though. It's weird how high school is coming to a close. Crazy....
