Long Over Due Post!

It's been months since my last blog post. And it might have to do with the fact I enjoy reading about everyone else more than I actually like sharing. Opening up is actually a flaw of mine so I'm challenging myself to post more frequently.

Update from last blog-
1. I am officially a leader at Cooper High School! Stephanie (the other girl leader) has been a huge blessing she has shown me her heart and has taken me in like a little sister. Also, It's been super fun getting to know the other members on the leader team. We are all very different but fit together to form a perfect little family. It will be exciting to see how God uses these new relationships to show the love of Christ to these students. At first meeting students was a little slow but then we had our first club! I met a group of sophomore girls who were just a blast and then the next thing I know we were planning a sleepover. The sleepover was great. We sat around the first bonfire of the year  and formed our own little insiders, we opened up, laughed, watched you tube and had yummy s'mores. It has been great making new friends. I'm thankful to be apart of the ministry at Cooper. The Lord is good and knew exactly where to place me and when! So I encourage you when things are uncertain in your life be patient, stay faithful because the Lord has a plan. A plan that will glorify him!

Change

I'm super excited to share with you all what Christ is doing in my life. As I grow in my relationship with Christ I've learned many things about myself that I hope one day I can get closer to overcoming these through his power! One thing I've notice I HATE CHANGE. I've always known change is hard but over the pass year I've realized how hard change actually hits me and most of the time its my hard heart that makes it more difficult then it has to be! Looking back on all those times the Lord has shown me the changes were good and crucial for my relationship with him. Then I was praying last night and realized that it comes down to trust. So that's my prayer for everyone trust in his sovereign plan.
 Some exciting changes:
1. College life is ending this week and to be honest I'm a little upset. I know I can still be apart of their The Davis' lives but it'll be hard to spend time with them being busy. I just love spending so much time with Maria (she is truly a women of God who has a pure and truthful heart). I'll miss Ben's truth and his encouragement. Most of all I will miss watching their kids grow. If you ever seen Maria's blogs, which you should  if you haven't, you will notice her kids give a lot of growth to her relationship with Jesus and I can honestly say I feel that way too! I love her kids so much and love watching them grow up. I know your not suppose to have favorites but Kate holds a special place in my heart. I'm not sure why but I just am very excited to see what Christ has for her life!

Kate (she is beautiful)

       So with College life ending it means a new start which brings me to change number two.
2. Leadership. I'm super excited to be starting the leader process. We've been visiting schools lately and its been encouraging. I'm glad I've been able to see Christ moving in different ways. I've only been to Beechwood and Cooper but the love they have for the Lord, each other, and their students is amazing! It's fun to actually get to know their hearts instead of assuming because most of the time I'm wrong about them! I'm excited to get placed into a community/family and start loving there. With that being said I'm open to being placed anywhere because I trust Christ will place me and use me for his glory!

Well there are many changes in my life but I'm not going to bore you with those! Just know this, Christ is trustworthy and I'm excited for his power to change me as I grow closer to Him! God is good!

Warning this might be a little long!

 The Lord has blessed me with wonderful friends over the course of my life. Sometimes I may lean on them a little to much. This weekend I spent the entire weekend with old and new friends. With it being Christmas time all my best friends are home. I loved catching up, listening to the struggles and the excitement of their new lives while baking (10 dozen Carmel Choco Chip Cookies) for the holiday season. Even though it is somewhat hard to realize they have a different life it is encouraging to hear they are still serving the Lord and we are still apart of the same kingdom living out our purpose. Not going to lie I've been struggling building a new community allowing myself to get close with other girls but I feel the Lord has been breaking my heart to be more open, loving and excited to build these friendships. We had our first real girls night on Saturday consisting of crazy car rides, christmas lights, dance party and girl chat. I LOVED every second. sleepy from a long night even though i was the first to fall asleep, i know im lame, i spent the next day home for Reckers Family Funday Sunday! It was a different Sunday starting off with my dad going to church on his own woo hooo! This is huge for my dad and im excited for him to be searching there for an answer to the struggles and stress he has been going through the prayer on my heart is that he finds the gift of Christ there. The gift of Christ and his grace has been hard for me to accept lately as well. I truly forgot how wonderful and how deep grace is. Lies have been overflowing in my head lately but thanks to a sister who isnt afraid to speak truth in my life asked me where my heart was with Jesus. Thinking Duh Sam you know where my heart is, I began to ponder this question coming to the realization my heart hasn't been whole heartedly on Christ! Ouch. Even though these are the hardest times it is also the times where I grow closer and find more of my identity in Christ making him more gracious then ever. We've been digging into Ephesians for bible study and i have found it to be one of my favorites. While reading I stumbled over these verses.
^{ephesian3:6-8
6} This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
 ⁷ I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. ⁸Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ.

After reading this I realized Morgan even though you feel worthless of all you were given a gift that no other gift can compare to and this grace gives you a promise of the riches of Christ and friends to share in this joy. So humble yourself by taking this gift and get out there and serve your Lord because you love him for loving you more, this love gives you worth! I want my heart to be completely consumed by Jesus burning with passion but that means I must seek him instead of me! So my answer to you Where is your heart at? Seeking HIM!
