Do you really Love Him?

"And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands." 2 John 1:6a (NIV)

It is so awesome so many of you come to youth each week and say you love Jesus, I am pretty stoked over our attendance. But the Bible says if we really love Him, we obey His commands......This is our challenge "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands." 2 John 1:6a (NIV)...that is how we really Love Jesus Christ.....take the challenge with me!!

Life is a box of chocolates

Forest Gump's Mother said it best..."Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're gonna get." This is a very true statement. Sometimes we get times that are easy and smooth like a nice milk chocolate center. Then there are those times when life is a little sticky and gooey and it takes a little more faith to get through each day, like those gooey caramel centers. Then there is the crunchy hard nutty center when you just don't know how you are going to get through it.......that is where I have found myself to be right now. Then today as was reading my Bible, I read Psalm 46:10 and it said "Be still and know that I am God." Although the center of my chocolate right now is hard and crunchy and difficult to chew on and get down.....God is there. That brings peace and comfort in the middle of life's storms. Yes, life is like a box of chocolates. Life brings us quite an assortment of situations to get through, but We have a Savior and HE promises to always be with us through the smooth and creamy and the sticky and the hard and crunchy times of life.....PRAISE GOD!!!!

MercyMe Won't You Be My Love

Sunlight Youth ~EDGE Brothers and sisters … the time is short.1 Corinthians 7:29 We must be alert and be on our guard so that we do not get sucked into satans lies......I was awake last night praying for you guys....each one by name. I love you!!

Have you ever watch the sun rise? It is one of my favorite things to do. How absolutely gorgeous it is.....and people wonder if God is the creator....that blows my mind!! How can you wonder if we have a creator? Anyways, that is another subject entirely. I want to focus on the beauty of God's creation....the consistency. Every morning the sun comes up and every evening the sun goes down...We never have to wonder, we never have to worry about it, it just happens.
We do tend to worry about trivial little things in our day to day life. At least I know I do. I worry about paying bills, I worry about time and having enough of it, I worry about scheduling youth events, I worry about all of you and how you are doing ....I need to just relax and trust and pray....pray more and worry less. The author of all creation has it under control. He has it all in the very palm of His hand. We may not understand all that happens in this world, but we need to trust in the creator of all....knowing He has everything under control. Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
