Talk

So today during Accounting Mr. Peters comes up to me and asks if he can talk to me for a while. I wasn't really sure what to think...just because usually when a teacher wants to talk to you, you get in trouble or something like that (It's even scarier when it's the school counsellor!). But this was nothing like that: he took me out into the hall and told me he was blessed by me.

This was so incredible to hear: because that is exactly what I hope for in my life. Not for glory, but for the chance to be a light and to bless people, because I have been blessed unconditionally in my life. It's encouraging to hear that I have passed it on, even if only to one person.

We spent about 15 minutes just chatting about stuff we were learning and things along that line. God has such amazing timing! I love how everything in my life always connects together at exactly the right moment. It's not coincidental at all, no matter what other people may say.

Our main focus was on the many "Ifs" and "Thens" of the Bible: think about it, there really are a lot...indicating a free choice...indicating that "life to the full" only comes when we have faith enough to give ourselves completely to God and let him work through us.

If you are willing and obedient, then you will eat the best from the land.
-Isaiah 1:19

If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, then you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
-Matthew 17:20

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, then you may ask whatever you wish, and it will be give to you.

-John 15:7

There's a lot in that book...check it out sometime. What do you have to lose?

He takes over my scars and I put my life in His.
