So it's been about a month since I've blogged, March was a bad month but April is hitting it out of the park!God's been really cool lately (not that He wasn't before.) I had a pretty lame time at prom but I told myself something would come from it. I've learned from that to never let others influence the way I feel about myself. The only person who can define me is Jesus! Let go of the small things and just be a light to others! Tuesday I was having a really bad day, a certain teacher of mine was being a jerk but I just kept reminding myself to be a light, if you don't let others under your skin and just focus on the important things it's a lot easier to demonstrate love and kindness. Wednesday at verge we had a personal quiet time instead of group time. It was really influential to me. I got some awesome quality time with Jesus in His word. I asked Him if He would show me some pictures in the clouds and He did! He showed me the crown of thorns, an angel, a dove (that turned into a llama), and a man praising with his arms raised! It's little simple requests like that, that He answers that just make my heart smile. It's small things that people look over and don't think anything of. God is so awesome and I will praise him no matter what! Big or small! He just amazes me so much. Something that stuck out to me as well was "In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." -John 3:3 and also John 3:16! In bible club friday Me and some of my friends and youth pastor did the everything lifehouse skit! It was REALLY powerful. It truly was such a blessing to have the opportunity to get to act out such a powerful skit and praise God while doing it! God is really going to work through it! That song is such a blessing as well, the lyrics are so powerful, take them to heart! He's all that I want, He's all that I need, He's everything! Thankful that I don't have writers block anymore and can write for Him! Been through a lot of temptation lately especially this week but God has carried me right through it! Praising Him for the ability to see that this temptation is a blessing because He is pulling me through and making me stronger through that! One of my favorite verses keeps coming into my mind through out the week: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33.
Have peace in Christ! We're going to have trouble but He has overcome the world! Praying that throughout this week and on I can be a light to others through Christ and die to myself daily because I'm living for Him, not for me! Hope everyone has a blessed easter and remembers the real reason for celebration today! Who cares about a bunny, some eggs, and chocolate? Christ DIED for us and ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, Praise God for that! So thankful today and everyday in Him. <3
