Senior night!

I love my sister and I love getting to serve and love her! As much work as senior night was this year and how I feel like I might not have gotten everything the way I should've and people doing what is right, it is a blessing to love people. I knew it meant a lot to the girls and it is selfish to make it all about me and not focus on others. Somebody told me once everything isn't about me and I was like ewww I can't believe you just said that! But I think about that often now and realize I need to take myself out of the situation and see how God is working in the situation. I think about the things I say to people and how it might not affect me but they could take it totally differently. Or if I am in a bad mood and don't say hi to anyone or smile like usual how much it could actually impact their day. It's not that they care so much about me it's the light that shines through me that can change them. I am not going to change their lives but God will and I can lead them to Him! It is so important to continue to love people and not give up on them or their relationship with Christ. I don't want people to hate me but ultimately I want them to love God and realize their need for salvation. I don't need to be #1 on everyone's list and I shouldn't be...God should. The love of God needs to shine through everything I do and say and if it doesn't we have a problem! 
We had a great time decorating the locker room and surprising the senior girls! It is such a blessing to get to love others. That's the way it should be. It shouldn't be made about the world and polluted by others but let God take control. Certain people may not have been involved but the girls and other people that have been involved I need to love. It didn't work out exactly how I wanted it but it did happen exactly how God wanted it to and I hope I loved that people that He wanted me to! I am so thankful for the opportunity I have in all of these people's lives to show Christ. God is taking them somewhere and I trust Him with it! He is so faithful and has never let me down. I have let Him down but He continues to restore me and be the same yesterday today and forever! Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ! It brings me joy to know I am serving God and being loving to others even if nobody else is to that person. It's God's command.
