Home

I went to church for the last time at home before heading to college today. It was pretty good. I almost always feel encouraged and loved after going there.

Today I was still feeling kinda down this morning, because last night my boyfriend and I broke up and hurting him broke my heart. When I got to church, however, I got a huge hug from a friend that has been mentoring me throughout the past year. She didn't, and to my knowledge still doesn't know, that I broke up with him last night but her hug brightened my day just a little bit.

I ended up getting quite a few hugs at church today actually.. It was great. I'm going to miss home and all my family that I have here at church, but I know for sure that they'll be there for me if I need them, and we'll keep in touch via Facebook etc.

In worship today, it was funny how the words seemed to correlate directly to what I was going through, again. My mentor, the leader of the worship band, read off part of  a song before we started actually singing and stuff, the words were:
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of his glory and grace."

That song verse helped me realize that, although, I was still hurting from the night before, if I turned my eyes on Jesus, things wouldn't seem quite so bad.
