This weekend

was crazy.
Friday I was sick.
Saturday we were on a level 3 (emergency vehicles only or something like that)
Saturday night I got the chance to share my faith with someone.
I doubt I've ever been talked to like that before.
I doubt it'll be the last time though.
A lot of seriously angry texts later,
I told him I felt sorry for him, that I'd keep praying for him and goodnight.
His strong reaction tells me I was right though.
I don't regret it at all.
Because that night, for the first time,
I realized just what was at stake here.
Someone's soul.
Someone's future.
Lord, help me to remember that it is NOT about me.
It is all about You.
Lord, you spoke into being roughly 144 BILLION galaxies.
This planet, is the planet you chose to have life.
That in itself is so incredible.
In the stadium that the super bowl took place in,
it would take 144 BILLION peas to fill it up.
Feeling small?
And a single pea is how big our GALAXY is.
Not our planet, our galaxy.
All of our planets.
I feel... so small.
And special.
Who am I to You?
Why me Lord?
I am no one.
I am nothing.
I am a sinner.
I am filth, through and through.
But Lord, You love me. You chose me.
You created me.
You have a plan for my life.
You amaze me Lord.
I will praise You in the darkest night,
I'll praise You in the brightest day.
I'll praise You in the morning.
I'll praise You in the evening.
I'll praise You all of my days.
For You are the Lord my God. My Savior.
You rescued me.
Me.
A girl worth nothing.
Lord...
You chose me.
I love You.
You are my rock,
my foundation.
My hope, peace, love, and life.
You grant me mercy, grace, and forgiveness that I absolutely do NOT deserve.
Lord... Help me to remember this.
Help me to remember that this is NOT about me. It is entirely about YOU!
Lord I love You so much.
Lord I pray that You will guide me and protect me as I go through this day.
While I am at school, and intern. While I work out and when I come home.
Lord I praise Your name.
I prayed on Saturday night that I would be tested and that I would lean on You for the strength to come through.
I know that it has only begun. Lord I love You. Help me continue to cling to You.
I love You.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
