Wow, has it been a while since I last blogged. Life has been pretty crazy... God's definately been growing me.
First of all, let me tell you about Clarity. Two weeks ago our youth group went to Orlando for Student Life Tour. Truthfuly, I was just going because it was Student Life, and I really just wanted to get away, but I ended up coming home changed. You know, it's so easy for us all to get in a rut of waking up, opening the Bible reading a few verses, and then saying "Okay God, I did it." Why is it so hard for us to sit down and make time to spend with our Savior. We really need to be diving into God's Word, and asking Him to show us what He wants.
As David Platt spoke at Clarity,I was so challenged to memorize the Word. We need to hide it in our hearts so when we are discouraged, or tempted we're equipt to fight back. Right now I'm working on memorizing Psalms 46. Read it! It's a great book of the Bible.
Something I've been thinking about.. Why is it so hard for us to tell others about what God is doing in our life? God teaches us things and we just keep them to ourselves. God wants us to tell others about Him, and How He's changing us, and encouraging us. So I encourage you all.. Tell people about what God's doing in you..
Guys, I challenge you.. Don't become satisfied where you are in your relationship with Christ. Always keep striving to know Him more. There is so much So often it's asy for us to think, you know God and I.. we're pretty good right now... So, maybe God's showing you alot and you're growing, but that doesn't mean you've "arrived". None of us have.
This week God's been teaching me trust. Trust seems to be a reoccuring theme in my blogs. Anyways, I finally sent in my application to Ocean's Edge. I won't lie, I've been stressing over it majorly. Why is it so hard for me to trust God. If He's leading me to OE, then I'll make it... if not, I know He has something else planned for me.
Well, I think I'm done now.. Sorry my thoughts have been kind of scattered
