I rest my weary soul in Thee

I  love young life so much. so so much. i love the people, i love the music, i loveee campaingers, i love the games, the family and the feeling of acceptance there. and club such a great place to lead people to.
 It is crazy to think about how the same God who made the the night sky made me. The same God who made the waves in the ocean, made me.  The same God who sent his son to die, for me. Sometimes i forget that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. That every single thing that I dont like about myself, God loves. He loves me. He loves us. We are perfect in his eyes. That just gives me so much comfort. and that is where I rest. I rest in Him. 
I regret something that i didnt do today. Ohh how i regret it. Actually, now that i think about it, i regret a lot of things i didnt do today. but one of them is that after gym we go and sit in there. and i walked right past a girl sitting alone. ugh. why didnt i go and sit with her? i really dont know. and i am pounding myself for it.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar in wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."- Isaiah 40:31

I keep seeing this verse, or parts of this verse, everywhere. and i just realized it's kinda in the title. weird. i havnt completely figured out what this has to do with me. or what i really need to take out of it. but i like it... i like it alot.

one down. soo many more to go.

start a blog. check.

just one of the many things on my bucket list. nothing else to do today, so here we go.

so many things have been going through my mind recently- loving, chasing, helping, accomplishing, maintaining, praying, rising, failing, living. crazy stuff! I was talking to one of the most amazing people about how high school is the best place for us to be. you look around and can just see all the brokeness wandering around the halls. so many kids. so many kids who have no idea who their savior is. and it is us who are called to help them. i love it. but its hard. its hard to be the one who has to step out. the one who has to be brave. its just hard. especially beinng a freshman. you arnt supposed to "look up" to freashmen, so its hard to try to be that kind of influence. but its possible. i have God. no biggie. we can do it. anyone can. anyone who has their hearts filled with the Holy Spirit. we can and we will.

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12. got to love it.
