Challenged and weighed down by past decisions there is a desire to spend time resting in the company of loved ones, living and loving intentionally.
For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2nd Chronicles 16:9

Eternal Perspective
During Encounter the speakers told us about the perspective, and focus we should have, and I was convicted. I have been very, very selfish this semester as a new college student. I think, well, I'll admit that I was walking around a little straighter, my mentality was something like this: "Oh look, Bev is in college, nice. this is good. I was walking around, but not noticing that I was in my own little world, the world that revolved around, me. Yeah. That focus, was selfish, that focus, was not on others. A lot of times I get caught up in what am I going to do in the future? Future sometimes meaning major, what am I doing later today with my friends, and basically, what am I doing in the future that will benefit... Bevy.
The Lord convicted me BIG time and I am so grateful that He spoke to me about my focus. I am working on, putting into practice, having a different perspective on life, that I believe must first begin as a day by day conscious effort. I am working on, having an eternal perspective. Looking at others, and how I can show Christs' love for them and building relationships that may one day, Lord willing, give me the opportunity to share the HOPE that I have IN CHRIST. My step dad has told me many times that when we arrive in Heaven the only two things we will have is our salvation and the relationships we have with other people. I believe the Lord built us for relationships, because He wants to have a relationships with each and everyone of us.
Tomorrow is my first day of the second semester of my freshman year of college and I want to be focused on the eternal perspective. I will be praying that the Lord will help me and that the Holy Spirit will nudge me when I need to adjust my heart, attitude, and eyes.
Here is a song that reminds me to have an eternal perspective. My own little world by Matthew West
