the dream

The dream

As I was preparing for my first day of college earlier, i had the feeling of excitement and being thrilled. First day of classes one prof had already given us a homeworks, and I was like eager to give my best to do it for a good result and good impression for the first day. but then this questions came to my mind “how long the excitement will it last?” “how long am I going to be thrilled” and “how long the eagerness of mine will stay till the last sem?” cos for sure there will be a lot of discouragements, a lot of tiring days, and a lot of break downs. But then I remembered the 16 year old me dreaming the position I am now in. I remembered that this is what I am praying for, and this is now the action am going to take for me to reach my goal.

But there's one thing that I am scared of. The spiritual warfare I will be having. I don’t want the discouragements, stressful days, and busy days take away again the promises of God has for me. I don’t want those reasons for me to cheat or to hurt God in our relationship and rely in the world when it gets tough, when it gets rough, when I'm impatient or like having a moment of wanting my ways than Him. I don’t want to go back again from the past. And I feel like being busy, school, and interaction w people will keep me again from the Lord. Idk anymore huhuh.

I am certain that it will be hard. But I have this vision ever since I was still only dreaming, that I am happy doing it. I have this vision of scenarios that I am enjoying the sleepless nights, or tiring days or failing moments, because i feel like I am close to it. I feel like being close to it is what encourages me even more.

And even if it is too early for me to say those things, or like it is still a long road for me. It gives me chill knowing that, this is it. Hahahahha

I want to give this 3 reminders

1. Remember that you are an ambassador of Jesus. Everything you do should be to glorify God and not to have pride of yourself Listen well, be a friend to all, be kind, have patience, and love others like Jesus did

2 Corinthians 5:20

1 Corinthians 10:31

Matthew 5:16

Proverbs 11:12

John 13:34-35

1John 4:7

2. Your worth and Identity is not in what you do, not your grades, your friends group, your sports team, nothing of that, your identity is in Christ, because He calls you trustworthy, and seen, and known, and loved. God chose you to represent Him before anything else. So remember your identity in Him, your worth comes from Him, and your purpose through Him.

1 Peter 2:9

Ephesians 2:10

2 Timothy 1:7

2 Corinthians 5:17

Galatians 2: 20

3. Lean into God. Rest in HIs faithfulness. Pray that He will bring you good friends and lead you away from ones who don’t glorify Him. Pray over you teachers, your coaches, your friends. Pray for those who dislike you or don’t know God. Pray that throughout this year you’ll seek God more and more daily. Pray that you would have a true desire to have a relationship with Him. Prayer is powerful

Matthew 11:28-30

Proverbs 13:20

James 5:16

Ephesians 6:18

Matthew 5:44

1 John 4:8

Romans 5:8

1 John 4:19
