Youth Prayer Meetings

Our young people get together every Monday at 7pm for prayer..

Well, we were told we are going to have some of the youth speak to us from their hearts. :) I got a text and guess who was one of the speakers?? Yessss, me. I was so nervous when I got up there.

I'll write what I talked about for you all to know lol
*side note* I didn't say everything I wanted to because I was a nervous wreck..

Basically, my uncle (youth pastor), had told me to talk about what I told him a couple Sundays ago, encourage the youth, God's going to use them, and talk about what's going on in the spiritual realm.

During pre-service prayer on a Sunday night, I couldn't really pray for the service. It's like I couldn't get in the Holy Ghost with that "topic" through prayer. I tried a couple other topics like praying for the lost and for my family & friends. It still wasn't working.. So I began to pray for myself, which I felt like it was selfish lol but it apparently wasn't so. I believe that God told me, "This is what I want to do with you." 

There were two different pictures/clips that popped in my mind right after He said that. The first was me speaking to a group of ladies and the second was me speaking to a group of young people.

(The funny thing is, I looked just like I do now. Lol the same everything.)

Every young person has a purpose. I believe it. Of course, you won't do what God has for you if you aren't doing right. We have to be going the right way (that narrow path to Heaven). In our generation of young people, there are going to be preachers, pastors, preacher's wives, and missionaries. I can already see it! Yes, there are those special young people who might have "more annointing" on them, but I KNOW that God wants to use every one of the youth! Even the one person who is on the "edge." If they get their life right, God is going to show them what they need to do for Him.

I have a bookmark in my Bible that quotes Jeremiah 29:11. I don't know what version it is (it's not KJV), but it says, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God has a future for every single one of us!

I would really like to expand what I said last night. (Put more scriptures and examples. Tell about people who felt what God said they needed to do. Etc)

Any suggestions?? I'd really appreciate it.

God bless you all,
Megg :)

Ask God to help you to expand. Seems to me that God wants to deal with you first. There are some things He wants to put into you so that He can use you. Being used of God always starts with a willing vessel. Thats the beginning.

Start reading the bible at looking at examples of young people that were used of God in their young age. For example: David, Samuel, Josiah, Esther, Daniel, Mary (mother of Jesus), etc. You will start seeing characteristics in them that you can ask God to give you. Characteristics you can encourage other young people to have :)

Keep it up! God definitely wants to use our young generation!!

Bible Quizzer

Umm.... I had no idea what I was getting myself into lol! This is my first year of Bible Quizzing and man! I love it!!!!! :D I can't wait to go to the competitions!! :D We have to learn over 400 verses but as Bro. Vick & Brendan said "Don't look at the numbers." It's easier when you don't look at numbers and you just memorize and go over them everyday!!! I'm so excited!!! It has motivated me to get done with schoolwork lol. I hope we have a good (NOOO, a GREAT!) team so we can go to more competitions. :) Fun & traveling! Which teams do you know that are awesome Bible Quizzers?? Do you have any tips for a first time BQ??? :)

Coincidence? I think not.

There came a time in my life where I needed to get out from being under the spotlight...  To get away for awhile.  To be alone. To deal with things in my life. And now I'm here :) writing...  I  am currently attending North-West College to become a Pharmacy Technician.  (I also work here during the day) A fellow pharmacy student was talking to me before class... She poured her heart out to me. She was crying-tears rolling down her cheeks. She was hurting. She was contemplating taking drugs again. She was losing her faith in God. And there I was.. A child of God Filled with the Holy Ghost Having peace in my life  Knowing that God hears me We cried together. The people that surround us need to hear encouragement and love from God's people. They need the opportunity to walk into a church that preaches truth, that has life! They need to see God through you!  Don't be afraid to cry with them. God put you with them at that moment... God knew they needed you ...

A Special Touch From Heaven

For many many months, I wasn't feeling well. It was like I had something stuck inside of me that pushed everything about me (bubbly personality, a little ball of joy, Miss Sunshine, full of energy) into a little ball and filled the rest of the space with emptiness [cold]. It has definitely not been the best part of my life, for sure. It's one of those trials where you just want to go back to the year before lol. I'm telling you, I was the total opposite of who I really am. Oh my, talk about craziness. I started to get really sad, kept to myself a lot, and ZERO energy.. Ahhhh it was all bad!! If you think that I am wallowing around in this pile of mud (not wanting to get out), think again! I've been pushing myself harder to get back to my old self. I've been getting into the Word, praying, keeping in contact with friends/etc. For 3 weeks (up until a week ago), I slept almost ALL day. Not kidding. I told you, NO ENERGY. I didn't want to do anything. No piano, no...
