What really does matter

Well I am back in the "Burg" and for all of you that are reading that may not be familiar with the that it is Lynchburg. I was in California for about 4 weeks but within that time that Lord taught me a lot about myself. I taught me that no matter what I have to stand on what I believe in no matter if no one else around me does or not. Well I left Cali on Tuesday morning at 7:30pt so that is 10:30 Est. I was on a plane for what seemed like forever, but i finally landed in Lynchburg at about 5:30 or 6 pm est. I was picked up from the airport by two of of my good friends and one that I consider a brother. I was so tired that I ended up getting sick and not being able to eat or sleep for a couple says. I have finally been able to eat and I thought I was going to be able to start sleeping again but as you can see I am writing this at 6:15 am another sleepless night. I am not sure why I allow people to get under my skin like I have. I have to learn to let stuff go and not hold on it things especially what people would say and think about me.

Well I guess you all are wondering what the title of this post is about. Well I have been thinking about things lately. I have lost friends because I didn't fit into there mold of people meaning I didn't make a lot of money, I don't look that good, I am not in a place to give a lot of money, and I am not in a high social position. So I have been asking myself this week what really matters in everyone life. I have had to reach my mind and my soul and I have figured that out in my life, but what matters most to you. Is it money, is it a position, is it who your friends are, is it what people can do for you, is it what can you do for others, is it a person in a social position that can help you, or it is a number of these or is it Jesus. I think we all need to look at this. I would like to share with you what I feel the Lord has see to me what matters in my life. I can say that what really matters me is my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. The next thing that matters to me is be serving others even when that don't like me and when they don't understand me. I really want to be able to give back to a community that at one time hurt me and is still hurting but my Savior has called me to Love everyone. I has to the point yesterday where I wanted to leave LU because of the people there but the Lord said no you are to and serve them. I am going back to LU to love those that others have given up on and love those that are different and to love those that the school has given up on. I am going to show Christ Love every where. I know I may not have any friends and after this is post I may not have a school but you know what I want to Love. I want to be that person that walks with my fellow brothers and sisters that may be going through a storm. If am remembering correctly I believe that it was our founder Dr, Jerry Falwall that always said that you are either going into a storm, in a storm or coming out of a storm. I want to be there with my brothers and sister as they start to go through the storm and walk with them as the are coming out of the storm. So what matters to me is my brothers and sisters and even those that are not my brothers and sisters. I want to be a light to those that are not a follower of Christ sometimes even more that I want to be there for my brothers and sisters. I would like to thank, Matt Mihelic, Holly Johnson, James Kimmey, Josiah Tillett, James Begley and also Colton Crossley for being that light and that friend to me. I am praying for you guys and I want you to know that the Lord is going to use you guys as light this next year I hope you are ready because I have a feeling our world is going to be rocked by Jesus like it has never be rocked before. So let me ask you again what matters to you?
