Title?

So I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now and I finally got up the nerve and time to do it. I just have a lot of random thoughts floating around in my head that I felt should be shared with the world. So I guess I should start with the name of my blog. It is really isn't that complex but totally relevent to my life right now. I feel completely "out of place" right now...and I don't mean in Ruston, La at Louisiana Tech University. I mean in this world. God has been doing amazing things in my life in the past year or so and specifically in the past couple of months. God has transformed my heart. God has taken so many worldly desires out of my life and given me a passion for Him. I want to further His kingdom and give God glory for all He deserves so badly. My life goal is to glorify God in all that I do. I strive to do this daily. The past several months I have kept the thought in my mind with every thought and decision....is this glorifying to God? Has this rocked my world? Totally! God has a way of doing that!! Anyways, so since God is transforming me in this way, I am slowly becoming more and more disgusted with the world. I just don't understand why people would choose such temporary desires of the world rather than a life with such a righteous God. I just don't get it! And I see it more and more each day. It breaks my heart. The hardest thing is to see it in the people closest to me. So all of a sudden(but not really) I am out of place. I am in this world that is not meant for me and surrounded by people who don't have the same mindsets, lifestyles, or passions as me. This has been a very hard realization. As thankful as I am that I am where I am, it is so not easy. But I am so thankful to have God walking with me in this journey in this strange place. He is my best friend through this journey and there is no way I could do anything without his power. It absolutely overwhelms me.

"Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then, you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing, and perfect will." -Romans 12:2

"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earhtly things." -Colossians 3:1-2

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -Romans 12:12
