...so thankful!
I am so thankful for each one of the young people (and old!! ..er.) who are on staff here. I am so thankful for the encouragement that they are to me and the testimonies that I see everyday in their lives. Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly living out a testimony. And what you allow, defines your character. Think about that one..... it's very true! The things you see other people around you allow in their lives can either make the person, or break the person. So... what are you allowing in your life that is defining your character? Is it Christ-like? Will in honor Him and bring glory to our Heavenly Father, or is it that "one little thing that made you happy for a few minutes and then the thrill was gone" kind of thing? Nothing is better than choosing God. Nothing. It may be a little hard, but God doesn't call us to just breeze through life. Yes, He wants you to be at peace with everyone, and I don't mean that you should have conflict and disaster ALL the time. No, I mean, are you giving anything up for Christ, or are you hording all these things that are hindering you from having the right relationship with our Heavenly Father?
God is so good! I see the works of His hands everyday. He works in mighty ways, but He also works in still, quiet ways. And those quiet ways make SUCH an impact on those who take notice to see His works! These past few days God has really been working in my heart. It's been hard, yes, but through it all God has been faithful! He always is! No matter what I do, no matter how many times I mess up and stumble, He is always there to help me. And thankfully for me, His mercies are new each morning! So all in all....
God is Good.
