God With God

Ephesians 5:15-17 ~ Be very careful then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

This verse just about wraps up my whole year at Le Cordon Bleu. I was a young Christian girl in a school of many older un-Christian people that were my influence five hours a day,five days a week. I was defiantly set apart from my classmates - being the youngest student in the entire school, having a different lingo than my peers, having a different style all together and to top it off, I was Christian! No one tortured me about it; they thought it was kind of cute ("Awh! This little girl believes in Jesus!"), but they were less likely to listen to what I had to to say, so that meant I had one other alternative: I had to show my Christianity in the way I lived. Walking not as unwise, but as wise and making the most of every opportunity to represent Christ.

But even as I made friends with the world, I'm not saying that I didn't have fun. I had a lot of fun! Probably the most fun I had in my life! It was like highschool for me. :) It was a life changing experience that I will never forget, and I grew to love the people there, but getting close to them meaning standing firm in my believe and being a confidant Christian and not falling into sin. Yet, even as I was trying to set a Godly example, I wasn't perfect and of course,I had a lot of weak times, but God wouldn't let me fall low enough to ruin my life. Simply put, He kept me! That meant that I had to keep my eyes on God, not falling into evil but remembering the Lord's will for my life which gives me hope from day to day.

As of now I'm out of school, moving on to the next adventure in my life (My B.A degree, actually!). I'm thinking about a whole new set of temptation, but I'm not worried because I'm sticking with God. :)
