Well God has been teaching me a lot just in my 9th grade year! the fall retreat, was a really big thing for me. i absolutley loved it, and it really helped me get closer in my walk with the Lord. we talked about getting in the Word, and having a hunger for it in one of our breakout sessions. And that made me think, i spend so much more time getting ready in the morning on the outside, than i do getting ready on the inside with God. i should have a hunger for His Word, not just do my quiet time because i know im supposed to. So, lately, i have had a hunger for God’s word, and it has helped me so much! Yes, i have to get up earlier, and im not at all a morning person, but i am now ok with it, bceause i get to spend time with God! And, our theme, complete, made me think of myself in a whole new way. I realized i needed to go deeper in my walk with God, not just stay the same. And, also, memorizing scripture has been a big thing for me. I am in roundtable, and travis challenged us to memorize a section of scripture. And just knowing scripture in my head, where i can pull it out, is great. So, God has been teaching me so much! But i am excited for what he has in store for me the rest of my freshman year!
