Crunchy Leaves, Apple Cinder, and Bonfires

So I'm totally new at this. A newly found friend(Christina) gave me her blog address. And in reading every single one of her blogs and realizing God has given her a talent to share his love it has unknowingly inspired me to write one of my own. Her dream is to be a writer...well not me as much but I am going through a really rough time right now and feel like blogging my thouhgts and feeling and seeing how my growth blossoms.  I feel like things are crashing down on my and I can't breath.  I am going to use this blog as my way to grow in Christ.
I am Casey and I am currently a 2nd year senior at Ohio Valley University. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Women Christian Services...I know it's a mouth full right? What in the world do I want to do with my life? I have no clue but I do know something, that no matter what I do, more than anything I want to be able to glorify God! Even though I have been a Christian and a member of the church since I was 14 ish....I am just now...unfortunately finally realizing I want a deep, intimate relationship with my Savior....better late than never I guess.

I have done some pretty crazy things in my past...that I am not proud of at all but I have come to learn that I have a forgiving, merciful, loving God that no matter where I am or what I have done, still desires to have my love. How awesome is that! God is so good....but why am I scared to tell my friends and family about the love? If I think it's so amazing, how come I am to chicken to talk to my family about it...I know...I don't want to look like a hypocrite....they have seen my mistakes, they have seen me at my worst, when instead of praising God, I was cursing Him. How terrible am I that I left that image for them. Fortunately enough, I have a forgiving God and an understanding family. Even though I have done some crazy things in my life, Im coming to realize that they dont define who I am today. It has been about 3 months that I have decided to re-dedicate my life to God but I have grown so much. God is using that bad choices I have made into a Women of his.

So today...I am going to start living my life for God instead of myself(authentically) though. I am one of the best advice givers ever!! I can tell people how to fix their lives and I can spit out scripture to help someone....but when I am really going to start embracing the breath words of God...NOW! God is so amazing....and through all my faults...God still seeing the me he has intended me to be! I am intended to be a Princess in the Kingdom....it's time to start acting like it!!
