God's Not Dead

There come those moments in life when everyone questions life and their presence on Earth. Recently, I've been questioning all the possible questions that revolve around life, purpose, and love. Senior year is moving by quickly and its overwhelming to think that in a year, I will be starting my life in the real world. It's a scary thing to think about: I have all these questions circling around in my mind... Where will I go in life? Will my plans turn out to be a success? How will college change my perspective of life? And how will God continue to be prominent in my life?
The latter question has been gnawing at me lately because God is one of the reasons why I'm the person I am. He's helped me overcome so much and I can't even begin to think about what my life would be like without him there with me every step of the way. One thing that is really important to me is that I continue to grow in my faith at the college that I finally chose to go to. I know lots of people who stop growing in their faith after they start college because they don't have the time. College is a huge toll, and its a huge step towards me becoming who I am--which is a huge part of the purpose of my journey through life. Its also really scary to think about at times. I make mistakes, every day, all the time. And the thought of knowing that I will make a million more mistakes can be kind of overwhelming at times. But I'm only human and God lives within me, through me, and by me. There are certain times though when I question my faith--we all do it (no matter our faith or beliefs) and its not bad, its a normal part of human nature.
Tonight's song is God's Not Dead by Newsboys-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghC3gqNQJPQ. My best friend introduced me to this song one night while he was driving me home, and from the first time I heard it I loved it. It's a great reminder that no matter where we are in life, whether we're lost, on the path, or veering towards the wrong path, God is always there and his love will see us through. So even when those obstacles, like college or a job, or family, or even those questions that circle around our head, God is still inside us, louder than ever, sharing his love throughout us. Maybe that's why we feel remorse... Haha.
Challenge for this week: spread God's love to someone. Do something small that will leave a big impact on someone's life. Ever heard of PAY IT FORWARD? Well this is a mini version of that. Let's see how far God's might lion love will go. :) Regret Nothing.
