God's Unexpected Plans For ME!

Do you ever just wanna give up sometimes? Maybe your hearts been broken way too many times and you constantly  keep telling yourself that you're just gonna stay single the rest of your life because you're tired of being hurt. Or maybe life has just been too overwhelming and you blame all your problems on God. You tell yourself that if God really loved you, he wouldn't allow all this crap to happen to you. I was one of these people but God has touched my life drastically in the last couple months.

A mistake I made during fall semester was not getting involved and reaching out to make friends. I spent all my time with Zack and once we were no longer together, I became so lonely and did everything by myself. Well, this semester things have changed. I've hung out more with my wonderful roommates Sammie and Sarrah, and some other amazing girls: Anna, Lindsey, and Michele. I couldn't of asked for any better of a group of friends. Through getting to know them, I've started to come out of my shell. I just hope they don't start getting annoyed by the loud, crazy Courtney I can be. It's nice not having to sit in my dorm all day with no one to hang out with. I don't think they realize how much it really means to me just to be invited to go shopping, eat dinner together, or even just sit in Anna's room and be our crazy selves after drinking mochas too late at night. I truly love these girls and feel so blessed :)

I give all the credit to God for these amazing changes in the past month. I started spending more time with him by reading his word and doing daily devotionals. I've come to realize that doing this really does help turn your life around. When you feel like giving up or that all hope is lost, just give it all to him. It doesn't hurt to turn the TV off for 20 minutes a day to spend time with God. Would you rather watch That 70s Show while your life stays a mess, or would you rather sent aside a time with God each day and watch your life turn into everything you have ever wanted it to? You choose!

"I'm yelling at the top of my lungs, I'm so full of answered prayers!"
