I have a [LOT] of thoughts...

Having been a Christian for "my whole life" many things have been observed and many conclusions have been drawn. I'm not claiming that my conclusions are always accurate, or even that my observations should be put under a microscope to be analyzed...but, I'm just saying; I think a lot, I watch people's words and actions a lot, and I try to read my Bible a lot and find the pure gold by which I should run after in my heart in order to live a life reflecting Jesus.

When the rubber meets the road--I realize that most of us make mistakes, judgment calls that aren't Godly or accurate, we all put certain people in a box and assume their hearts aren't right with God based off of a few interactions---the list could go on and on. After seeing this over and over though, I know I want to be that one who looks past the outside, past the façade that people put up to defend themselves from hurt and rejection, I want to be the one who learns how to love purely and without reserve. It isn't my job to decide who needs a touch from the love of God. It isn't my job to convict a heart, or to even feel like I understand others perfectly. It isn't my job. I want to love. I want to be a true friend. I want to hug someone when they need a hug. Be there to support someone when no one else is around. I want a life that impacts deeply even if it's only a small number of people. I want to make a difference in the sphere of influence that God has given me. And by His grace, I hope I am, and will continue to do so.
