Jesus and Rocks

Jesus and rocks, even though these two things sound completely unrelated, they are both relevant to me. First let me start off by saying that I believe Jesus can use the most commonplace items to speak to the hearts of all his beloved sons and daughters. For me, nature is one of the ways that He and I keep in touch. Whenever I see a sunrise or sunset or feel the cool breeze on my skin I can't help but lift my heart and soul up to Him and rejoice. He really makes my heart melt with His love when He sends me a special gift. This gift is a rock. Jesus sends me heart shaped rocks along my path. They are very precious to me. I pick them up and collect as many of them as I can (sometimes they are too big for me to pick up). Every time I see one my soul rejoices and a smile overcomes my face because I know that He is right there with me. He is making sure everything is okay and is walking right with me placing heart shaped rocks to express His love for me. I collect them and each new one that I add to my collection reminds me of how much He loves me. The picture above is a picture of a few of the rocks that He has left for me. They are a reminder to me that He is right here with me and with you watching out for us every step of the way. God is good! :-)

Finding God At Running Camp

This past week I went to running camp. It was an awesome time! However when I first arrived I was homesick and lonely. I did not fit in with the other girls and they did not like me. Most of what I heard that day were harsh words directed at others and sometimes towards me. When I went to bed that night I prayed to God to send me someone to be an Angel to me and to touch me with kind words. I also prayed for me to enjoy the rest of my stay at camp. The next day I woke up and things were already better. God had blessed me with a new attitude towards camp and I was ready and willing to enjoy it to the fullest. Starting that day I made new friends and found out that God had blessed me with a cabin leader and cabin mate who were fellow Catholics. They were quick to be my friend. This was a wonderful experience,the whole time I felt God smiling down at me. When I checked my phone that morning I saw that I had received a text the night before. It came in at about the time I was praying to God to send me an Angel. Once I read the text message I knew in my heart that God had sent me this person to be an Angel to me that day. This person, who I will refer to as Ava Grace, sent me a text message. She is a good friend of mine and we have recently become close. She has a cheerful disposition and has a wonderful way of helping me see God. This text she sent me, for lack of more accurate words, made my day. It said "this is wicked random but I just wanna say that you are a great girl, you are built on such great beliefs and morals, and you are always so happy and nice, you're so kind and just awesome and I hope we stay friends for a long time". I was a little teary eyed after reading this, I looked up and thanked God for blessing me in so many ways and for blessing me with such a wonderful friend. When you let God take the reigns, He will blow your mind, just like He did and continues to do to me. God Bless! :-)
