Recently

Howdy readers!

I just thought I'd post about things that are new/recent in my life lately.

God has been so good. He's always at work in me, and my heart through the imperfections and all.

I have been considering changing my major from Vocational Missions to Nutrition. I still very much have a heart for missions, but having a degree in something else will surely open up doors to enter other countries where missionaries are not allowed. And having a nutrition degree will allow me to have a job besides just ministry where I can provide for myself whether that is in the U.S or another country. I can probably take nutrition to countries that are malnourished and starving. It's just an idea. I'm praying a lot about it right now.

I've been trying to find a job lately. I haven't found anything on campus, so I am applying for a position at a day care that my good friend Nicole works at in Abilene. Because of this my parents are considering giving me my car back next weekend. :) I hope they decide yes! :)

God is so faithful! He always provides for me! I love it!

My best friend recently got in a bad car wreck and has minor injuries physically, but is having a hard time. I miss her. She lives back home. If you think about it, please lift her up in prayer! Prayers would be greatly appreciated I am sure! :)

God is bringing me into a deeper appreciation for my family and friends, especially my family. In the past I have overlooked how much my parents do for me. They provide for me not only physically and financially, but spiritually and emotionally too. They are great parents. Sometimes it takes getting away from your parents to truly see and understand how great they really are. I miss them, and my 3 little sisters. :) Hopefully I will get to see them soon. :)

It snowed here a lot yesterday! We had afternoon classes cancelled. It was pretty & fun! :)

I have recently rediscovered my love for Hillsong worship! It's SOOOO good. :) I've been listening non-stop lately. I especially love "Where We Belong" from the This is Our God album.

I am so excited that SUNDAY is Valentine's day! Because it's Jesus Valentines Day! :) He's the best Valentine and I get to spend time with Him Sunday & make the day about Him and me. :) I can't wait!

That's what's been going on in my life lately!

Be Blessed! Love y'all!

1 Peter 1:24-25 "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains forever."

Nothing out of the ordinary, but something extraordinary.

I am so incredibly, immensely, and extravagantly blessed. Here are a few of the reasons for this:

Jesus adores me. I have a beautiful family, that I miss. God has placed the best friends into my life and is continuing to bless me with more new friendships. God makes me laugh. My friends make me laugh. Life is beautiful, even on the stormy days. My moods don't affect my state of being. I have constant joy because Jesus is my constant companion. God continues to woo, pursue, and chase after my heart every single minute of every single day; and because of that I am completely and truly satisfied. God fulfills all of my needs and desires from the deepest longings of my heart to things one might consider small and minute.

I honestly have nothing out of the ordinary to be so happy about. I am happy, joyous, pleased, and complete on an extreme level. It's not because of any amazing circumstance or event that is occurring in my life right now. It's simply because I am loved by the King and have found utter completion and wholeness in that. Nothing can kill or steal my joy. It's found in the hands of Jesus, therefore no person, place, thing, event, or circumstance can cause me to lack in joy. JOY JOY JOY. Jesus holds my joy and provides my joy, so I have joy forever. Joy in who God is and who He says I am.

Valentine's Day is approaching. I hadn't really thought about it until today. As I've said, I don't need a man to be romanced and to experience true love. My God is my Lover, Husband, and Romancer. So this Valentines Day I am reminded who the Lover of my soul is. :)

I am growing more and more in awe of the reality of who Jesus Christ is. And, let me tell you- He is the REAL DEAL. I wouldn't invest all of my heart, all of my soul, all of my time, and all of my every being into Him if I didn't know with all of my heart and mind that He is the real deal.

I think you should get to know Jesus, if you don't already know him. He wants to know your heart and wants to know you personally. :)

I'm Meagan Whitson, and I have an obnoxious laugh that is contagious. :)

Love y'all :)

hope.

I have come to find that when I put my hope in anything other than God, I am always disappointed. I mean seriously, any little ounce of hope that I place in another person or thing, I am always reminded at how unfailing God is and how much this world we live in fails.

Have you ever randomly heard God's voice when not expecting it? Yep, that's what just happened to me. Except, I'm debating whether it was really Him that I heard. I mean this just hit the depth of my heart and soul. Part of me wants to really believe that it was just a random thought of my own. This shocker thought, moment, and simple sentence I just heard made me realize that I had been putting hope in something other than God.

I don't know. I'm confused. God will clear it up. I know His voice, I know Him, but I am doubtful because I don't want that to have been something God said to me.

God gives us all a choice. God is choice and love is a choice. hmm.

I want to put all of my HOPE in GOD because He never fails, and He loves me. I love Him too.

I am Meagan Whitson, and I think too much sometimes.

I wish I could master putting what God wants before what I want.
