Oh what a day it was today! So I got a chance to talk with a friend who I dont get to see very often, well I mean I get to see her about every day but we have not got the chance to sit down and talk for a while. I am very excited that I got that chance to do so today.
God had provided us with an amazing night of chit chat. We ended up having coffee and talking about what God is teaching us and how we are using our talents to glorify God. I know that I personally struggle with pride and glorifying self and not for God. So it is really good to be reminded that God has given me these talents to bring praise to his name. I really enjoy playing bass guitar, dancing, and playing hockey...I look at them all in a new light now...knowing that my life would be wasted if I didnt glorify God in everything and every moment.
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ [Philippians 3:8]!!
What if we really did live this way...counted everything as worthless because we know Jesus, how often do I put other things that are worthless in front of God. More than I would like...once is even too much!
The love that God has on us is amazing and all he wants to do is love you, do you want to assume that responsibility and accept that relationship and glorify him?? I know I do! He gives and all he asks is, will be have a relationship with us! Thats pretty legit my friends!! :)

The previous posts were made by my lovely roomie...well today we are doing the prayer booth again today...not too many people though. This week was pretty rough for me actually. I really felt like I was constantly feeling like the world was being pushed down on me. It was really upsetting. There was one day were I was really upset and I broke down in tears almost all day. I felt as if God was pushing these trials on me and I was well I finally gave in and gave it up to God. It was hard, really hard, but to be able to talk to someone who listens while im going through a tough time was nice. To know that someone was on my side was nice too. Life is hard, not everyone thinks like you, think before you speak, make wise choices, and listen to what God has to say...this is what he taught me this week through my sufferings. I am really thankful for my friends as well, who helped me through it, through reminding me that God loves me and I should boast in my sufferings. I am on the road upward and really excited to see what God has planned for tonight through this joint worship night with Cru and IV. God loves you and wants to listen to what you have to say! <3>

Romans 5: 3-5 "But we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."
