At the Beginning

So thankful to God to have the opportunity to try and love people the way that Jesus loves me. I know that I wouldn’t have the relationship with Him that I do if it weren’t for a couple of people who pursued me in spite of my shyness and in spite of my perception that I didn’t fit in. I want to love people exactly the way they are so they can see that Jesus loves them exactly the way they are even when they are hurting and broken. I want to pursue people and listen to their problems and just be there for them. I want people to be able to be open and honest with me, but I want to be there even when they don’t feel like sharing everything or anything. I just want to love and for everyone to feel loved and to know that it comes from Jesus. I want to be a light among everyone I come into contact with. I want to be a light in the darkest darkness, because in the dark of the world, one light can make all the difference. And I know I sometimes suck at being a light, but I want to strive to be the best light I can be. I’m thankful right now to be where I am and to have the time I do in Savannah to hopefully impact people’s lives for the better. I know I can’t do it on my own, but with God all things are possible.
