Remember When?

This was written my freshman year how I have grown since then!
            Remember those days when you thought that high school was going to slow? Or those days that you would wonder when college would ever get "here"? When can I finally be done with all this "stupid high school" drama (prom, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.)? Now I am asking the question "why did high school go by so fast?"
             I used to be in that boat and now when I look back after being here at Grace for a semester and 2 months... I have found that I wasted a lot of my time in high school. I had the opportunities to share the gospel, the times where people asked me questions about God and I would never answer cause of nerves, or even being arrogant enough to think that everyone was a Christian who went to the youth group, TLC.   
            I wish I could take back all those times of arrogance, being ashamed to share what God was doing in my life, and even those times where I was so selfish that I would not answer a question because I was to nervous to even think about how to answer the question. But I can't go back in time... yesterday was yesterday, and today is today...
           So I have now decided that I am going to live for today and follow Christ even in the hardest of times. I now know I need to carry my own cross, Christ had to carry his own cross after being whipped, mocked, and spit upon... so why are we sitting around thinking that we have it easy? WE DO NOT HAVE IT EASY, as a Christian you will be persecuted, you will be looked down on, and even mocked because of what you believe in and who you believe in.
         After a year and a month of being in college, I know that there are so many times I think of my self and my friends that I don't think outside of that... Now I am living in Omaha in the downtown area and I could walk across campus and run into someone who does not know about Christ. In a prayer group on Monday (9/10/12) I listened to the leader tell us that everyday someone dies who does not know Christ... so the need to share Christ and His love is URGENT! Although it may not seem urgent it really is. Christ ministered to His people without any hesitation so why should we hesitate to share His words with the people around us.
