New to this whole blogging idea!

I am new to blogging..so be patient, it may take me a while to get started! But for now, thank you for taking the time to listen to my spill. I have created this blog for several reasons, mainly because I have had so many people encourage me to do it because it has helped them tremendously. I also wanted to do it because I know college will be a time in my life that I will want to look back on. It is a way for others to see what is going on in my crazy world and how God is working in my life personally. Feel free to leave comments or encouraging words or just let me know you stopped by to read! I am excited, more than anything, to share my thoughts with those around me.

Lately my heart has been so heavy and my mind is constantly racing. I have so many things I want to say and I don't even know where to begin. I feel as though I might just throw up a bunch of thoughts. Today's blog may be short but don't worry, there is more to come..

First off, the title of my blog is "Your Present Trial Will Be Your Future Ministry." Clever, huh?! Well as much as I would like to take credit for it, I can't. I was listening to Afshin Ziafat's podcast and his words jumped out at me. I can feel the presence of God in my life right now more than I ever have. And with His presence have come trials..many trials. I remind myself that God is going to use those trials for something good and they won't go to waste. I believe that God has me right where He wants me to be, whether in suffering or not. I pray that the trials will only pass after He has prepared my heart for what is to come.

This is just a few of my thoughts today but I will post again this week so be looking for it! Thanks for listening :)
