Tonight!....and such

Hey guys whatsup, i'm just wondering if anyone knows if theres anything going on after youth or anything tonite, because i am working at 5 and not sure what time i'm getting off, so i might be able to make it for the end or i might not and if there was something happening after and i knew that would be pretty sweet, but yes i dunno hope you guys are all doing good! I've just been impressed lately and i thought i'd say how encouraging it is seeing how much our youth group is growing closer and closer to God! it actually pumps me up so much and God is going to do so much in this youth group and its amazing to watch! So i've finally been starting to get my devos in and it's so good!! I had been slacking waaay too much. It's crazy tho since i've started to read the bible and pray more i've just been getting drawn closer and closer to him. It's kinda wierd cuz like as sad as it sounds when i was at skool i would forget about God, until i had like a blatent reminder, but recently i've been just thinkin about him all the time, i kinda feel like i'm stalking him...in a good way! ahaha I'm defiantely pleased how God is working in my life because it was shaky for a bit and i'm just so glad to be back in his loving arms! I encourage you guys to find time daily to spend with God because it is soo refreshing and he will give you strength you never thought possible. Also encourage one another because that is so important and can really make peoples day! Tell people what they're good at and give them an outsiders view on spiritual gifts they might have they didn't even know about.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen" (Ephesians 4:29).

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25).

Take care & God Bless
Hope to see you guys tonight, lets try and meet new people and not stay in the same groups as we tend to do!!

Praise God! Keep pressing on in the spiritual discipline of daily devotional time!!! This is the foundation of a thriving relationship with God. This is the way to reach your full potential for God. This is the way to grow to be more and more like Christ. This is the way to give your utmost for His highest. This is the way to have your heart grow closer to God. This is the way to have your mind renewed. This is the way to learn to live by the Holy Spirit. This is the way to learn to surrender daily. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!!! The temple of your body will collapse if you don't have a firm and strong foundation in the Word of God, every single day!!!!!

Thanks for your honesty and encouragement, Lyndon! I am glad to hear that you have been getting closer with God. Yeah, my prayer for the Youth Group is that we continue getting closer to God as we keep each other accountable, as we do daily devotions, and as we spend more time with Him.

Keep pressin' on!
May God bless you,
Sharilyn

Caroline, I was really encouraged by that statement "we're all in this together" . . . that makes everything seem way easier, to know that we've got friends who will back us up and are ready to jump in when we need them! :)
