Verse of The Day
"And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever."
1 John 2:17
What are you apart of? Some people can be so committed to their girlfriend/ boyfriend, or sport that they get consumed by it. People do not realize that time is so valuable! You really do not have very much time here when you think about it, and people can be so committed to something like a sport. Does this sound like your life?
Wake up. Done. Go to school. Done. Go to some type of sports practice. Done. Maybe go to some different after school activity. Done. Go home. Done. Eat. Done. Bed. Done.
........ And start it all over again tomorrow.
Man the things on this earth will pass away, and the things that we invest our time in now will matter later.
How can people be SO committed to a sport, But when it comes to their faith, something life or death, they are not committed? You go everyday after school to that sport, dance class, club activity, play practice, or maybe you just go home and relax. You can be more committed to a ball, literally something that if you think about it does not mean anything, than you are to your faith. Your faith is the only worthy investment of your time. When it comes down to it, that's all you really have. Think about what you invest your time in, will it fade? Is it a worthy investment?

If you have time check out this song!!
We have seen the pain
that shaped our hearts
And in our shame
We're still breathing, 'cause
We have seen the hope
of your healing
Rising from our souls
is the feeling
We are drawing close
Your light is shining through
Your light is shining through
Wake up, wake up, wake up
wake up all you sleepers
Stand up, stand up
Stand up all you dreamers
Hands up, hands up
Hands up all believers
Take up your cross, carry it on
all that you reveal
with light in us
will come to life
and start breathing, 'cause
here we stand our hearts are yours, Lord
not our will but yours be done, Lord
that shaped our hearts
And in our shame
We're still breathing, 'cause
We have seen the hope
of your healing
Rising from our souls
is the feeling
We are drawing close
Your light is shining through
Your light is shining through
Wake up, wake up, wake up
wake up all you sleepers
Stand up, stand up
Stand up all you dreamers
Hands up, hands up
Hands up all believers
Take up your cross, carry it on
all that you reveal
with light in us
will come to life
and start breathing, 'cause
here we stand our hearts are yours, Lord
not our will but yours be done, Lord
Thankful Thought of The Day
I am thankful for my soccer team, and my coaches. With going to the playoffs and our season coming to an end in mind, it makes me think about what an impact these teammates have had on me. Many on them I have played with for a very long time. It's now coming to a close, and I'm happy I got to spend some valuable time with these ladies and see them grow in Christ, that is something that matters. You can use these things you do to grow with others! I encourage you to grow!
I'm glad you are understanding the value of time as a teen.
