First Blog Post Everrr!!!!!!!!

So since this is my first post and all I need to give you a little background info. For months I have desired to start blogging, but I never got around to doing it. I would come up with all these excuses why not to. One being-- "I'm just your average person. No one would be interested in my life." THAT IS THE DEVIL!!! No one is average. We all have a story worth telling.So here is my story: My name is Chelsea. I'm quite the goofball, but on a serious note I'm a changed woman. At seventeen years old, I thought I had my life figured out. I graduated at the top of my class, I had a scholarship to a great school, I knew exactly what I wanted to be and what I wanted to do with my life...Basically, I had my life mapped out. Well after my first year of college, I was stuck in a rut. My life consisted of school and parties and that's pretty much it. I wasn't happy with who I was and where I was going. I just knew there was something more to life. I knew in my heart God had so much more planned for me. I can't really explain what came over me, but one day something just clicked, a veil was torn, and I just decided I'm tired of living out my plan. I made a commitment to the Lord that day that I was going to die to myself and my plan and take up His. Sounds easy huh? Not so much. For the first few weeks I struggled between my heart and flesh. The reason--- I didn't want to completely let go of my old life. It's not an easy thing to do, but eventually I did it. I had to let go of old habits and even good friends in order to completely live a life for Christ. Now I'm not saying I just dumped all my friends on the side of the road. I am still friends with them, I just no longer go out and participate in the activities I used to be apart of with them. Oh, and on top of all that I was expecting God to give me this blueprint of what I was suppose to do in life. Well, God doesn't work like that. The Bible is the only blueprint He gives you. I began to get frustrated with what I was suppose to be doing. I had no plan. Instead of seeking God, I was just seeking this "plan" I thought I was suppose to have. In all this frustration, I just started praying. I prayed, prayed, and prayed some more. Christ spoke to me and said, "Chelsea, I will lead you in the way you need to go, but you have to trust me and take a leap of faith." Woahhh. The day I completely gave all of myself to Christ. I mean all of me. I was immediately at peace. I put all my trust in Him and came to the realization that no matter what happens (even if I have no idea where I'm going) I will seek and serve Jesus Christ in all that I do. I had to forget all the details and just seek and love HIM. Ever since then it's been a wild ride to say the least. I'm not perfect, in fact, I have failed many times. Yet, He STILL loves me. No matter what you are facing or where you are in life, He STILL loves you as well. I just want you to realize this world has nothing for us--that a life for the world is no life at all. We are here to serve, seek, and glorify our Father in heaven. In giving Christ all this glory comes joy I cannot even put into words!
