My Final

Sorry I've been away for so long.  Time just got away from me.

I wanted to update you all on my studies and let you know that I got an "A" on my final and an "A" in the class.   I am so grateful for this because I have struggled a lot with my classes in college and this has certainly helped me have a better outlook on my new start at my new college online.

Previously I went to a college here near my home and quickly found that I was definitely not prepared for it.  It was hard for me at first because I was a good student in high school and after 3 years of struggling I had to turn to God and depend on Him to get me through it.

After a long time researching different colleges, both online and physically colleges, I came upon APU.  They had my degree, History, and I quickly saw it as a sign that this is the new direction I needed to get back on track and finally graduate.

Thank you all of your prayers and comments, it encourages me in what I am doing.

Hope you have a lovely day,
Meghan

Busy Week

I probably won't be posting much in the next coming days because I am having finals this week.  I know that seems odd but the college I attend has 8 week sessions instead of the normal 16 weeks.

If you all could pray for me during this time that I might do well on my finals and manage my time wisely.

I hope ya'll have a wonderful day,
Meghan

Faith is... Fridays

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
                                                                                                   Hebrews 11:1


Every Friday on my blog I will write about a moment during the week or recently in which I had a clear moment of faith.

Now I always have faith but there are times when I really need to depend on only my faith and these times truly help me grow in my relationship with God.

This Friday faith is having the confidence to start a blog.

I have always loved to write and it is the way that I feel I best express myself.  Lately I have felt a call from God that I should express my love and relationship for Him to others. But due to my insecurities about how I write and how others would judge me, I have kept away from this calling.

I knew that I needed to pray about it and just put it all in God's hands and know that I was not blogging for the approval of others but only for His.  

As I write this blog I find myself becoming more and more excited about the plans He has ahead for me.  And while this my not be huge it is exactly what I need to encourage and witness to those around me.

So what is faith for you this week?

Blogging Beginner

I'm new to blogging, which won't really be to hard to believe as I'm sure it has already begun to show.

So what is my reason for starting? Well over the past few months I have really gotten into reading blogs by other women. They have inspired me to write about my daily walk with the Lord and how I am striving to be a child of light.

My title for my blog comes from Ephesians 5:8 which says "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."

I want to shine God's light through me by glorify Him through the blessing that He gives me daily and also through the hard times and struggles that He has guided me through.

I hope you enjoy my blog and will learn and grow with me as I find my voice and the plans that God has for me.
