Be.

Life really amazes me. Everytime that i doubt God, and what his plan for me is, he blows my mind. Last week we had our baptism after the service on sunday morning... we were expecting about 17 or 18 people to be baptized because of their commitment to Christ. 35 people were baptized, at this point it's just affirmation.

Tonight at our small group, i got pumped up with our students. We were just sitting around (and honestly i was waiting for a topic to come up to talk about and so it did) talking about our goals for this upcoming year..... and it came to my attention that 90% of my students don't give a rip about anyone else but themselves and their close friends... the were all very open by saying that.. They told me that other people were just an inconvenience.. At that point i realized that they had never experienced Jesus....So i preceded to ask them if it was just ok to believe in what ever, and they all agreed that it didn't really matter as long as you believed in something.

So I told them my story.

That I was lost and God found me and changed my entire family. And that was how i knew that God was real. They were all pretty much silent.... It really showed me that we were getting somewhere.... that they were getting their locked up feelings out, and mostly that they realized that it's a problem to be a follower of Christ and to not care about people......

God told me this......

"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."
Galatians 6:9

Keep on truckin baby....
