A Special Thank You!

I just wanted to say thank you. I want to thank my youth group for being there for me when I need you and being great friends. I love you all very much and I honestly don’t know what I would do without ya’ll. Ya’ll truly are me best friends and I couldn’t ask for better ones. You guys mean the world to me and Im glad that I’m able to say, “Yeah thats my youth group and my family.” I also want to thank the adults thats spend time with the youth group and plan things and take care of us and make things like camps, Winterfest, Celebration and even the small things possible. Everyone always says that they have the best youth group or go to the best church but I always beg to differ there is no way in the world you could ask for a better group of God-loving, caring, and compassionate people. I love you guys. ❤

Procrastination

What are ways you procrastinate? What are ways you procrastinate God? Why do you procrastinate? Sunday night at youth group I was asked these questions. There are so many ways you can procrastinate and procrastinate God. I found it very interesting that when we procrastinate small things such as homework or doing a chore that were really procrastinating God too. We procrastinate doing homework which eventually takes up the time we could be using to pray, or read our Bible or talk about God and fellowship with others. God makes time for me and EVERYONE else in the world EVERYDAY, why can’t I make time for Him? Something else that stuck out to me was a verse that Kevin Deecke read at the end. It was Colossians 3:23-24; it says “23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” I really liked it. I think that everything you do you should do with all your heart and that you should do it for the Lord not just for yourself or because that you want credit for something. Its hard and I know I’m going to have to work on it but I think its possible. Phillipians 4:13 says " I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength."
