Thought of the Day

I don't know about you, but I sure do love me some encouragement :)

I've been trying to give it a lot more recently.. You know, I found out that truly, the more you give, the more you recieve!

We always have a friend who is in need of some lovin' and huggin'.

Words like, "You can do it," "I'm here for you," "You're going to make it," help the person know that in the midst of their trials, someone is there to help and pray for them.. Also, letting them know that God is still a MIGHTY GOD.

Just letting a person know you love/appreciate them makes a difference! Maybe that person didn't feel like they were doing any good being an example to young people or the like.

I've walked up to my Elders and told them how much I appreciate them and that I look up to them. The way they pray, worship, have faith, or have a knowledge of the Word.

I know my blog is mainly read by young people (ages unknown lol). I KNOW you have many people in your life who have changed it for the better. There's your Pastor, the Elders in church, another young person even. I know without a doubt that there is at least ONE person who you appreciate dearly!

I did an experiment :) I gave out encouragement to friends/family/young people I've met and talked with. My conclusion was "the more you give, the more you recieve!" (Like I mentioned earlier) Seriously young people, if you want encouragement, then GIVE encouragement. You'll be amazed at what happens. Once you realize it, you'll be thinking to yourself, WOW IT WORKS!!!

Just try it out :) Trust me on this one.

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??? :)

Courage in the Altar

It takes courage to walk to the altar (a lot of the time). Especially when you are struggling and going through trials. Most of us feel embarrassed or have too much pride to cry in the altar, shout, or dance in the Spirit. It really does amaze me.. It's like we are intimidated by other women/men.. Have you ever noticed it? Courage: " have the courage of one's convictions, to  act   in accordance with one's beliefs, especially in spite of criticism." (dictionary.com) I've heard plenty of people say, "The day so&so shouts and runs the aisles is when I'll do it." I REALLY don't get it! Do these people not have the revelation of worship, praise, and not to care what others are going to think about them?? Sometimes, worship is a life or death situation. :/ Seriously. You won't give God 100% of your praise... You're holding back.. You won't let loose. The saints of God get victory through prayer and worship.
