Share Your Story

We decided to change up our usual Friday Night Youth Service and had a guest speaker from a church we fellowship with: Sheperd's House Open Bible Church. The topic was faith. He began to share his testimony about how he waited and went through for his mate. The funny thing is that I knew his story because we became friends in the midst of it, but for him to share his story with a group of people that didn't know him that well encouraged me. It seems these days the Lord is going about pairing up the Youth in the old school/biblical way. The Lord has been sending prophecies, dreams, word confirmation, etc. to show us who HE has for us. The thing is there's a ministry in each marriage, but that is how it's supposed to be. I remember being told that marriage itself is a ministry and it also represents the relationship between Christ and His bride: the church. When I think about it from that point it totally blows my mind! It's just another way to represent Christ to the world. Isn't that amazing? Your future spouse/ or current one is a living example....but I digress, I remember a while back that I told the Youth that it's our job to share our stories. We don't know who we are helping when we talk about where we've been and what we've been through.

Sharing is Caring

Blessings to everyone on this day! I am trying to encourage myself in the Lord today (I'm not in a spiritual battle; I just have a really bad toothache/earache/headache that I'm trying not to think about).
I have found blogging to freeing and relaxing. It feels good to share my random experiences, thoughts, etc. I just won't share any of my friends and families names for fear of being attacked by them (lol).
The Lord has been revealing His awesomeness to me day by day and I am in constant amazement by Him. The songs I love a lot lately are "Amazed" by Lincoln Brewster and "All I Need Is You" by Hillsong United. It could be that I am in a constant worship mood lately because its time to rehearse praise dances to Minister on Easter and our upcoming Youth Convention; I love those songs none the less.
But I digress. I have been slowly finding blogs by other saints in Christ that both entertain and speak to my spirit. It seems that these days people either don't talk about Christ or force feed Him to you. I think the best way to reach others and introduce them to Christ is by living Him. You have to live in Christ EVERYDAY so that others can see Him in you. I could stand on a soapbox on the corner of a street and preach until I pass out or I could live the life everyday and minister to others that way. I am a freshman in Bible School and the first year is Evangelism. It's a powerful class; everyday feels like you live what you have learned in classroom. That being said, I realize how important it is to share the Gospel. It's like everyone in the world is dying. Someone gives you the vaccine and saves you from death. You have the vaccine now, will you give it to others or will you keep it to yourself? Think about it.
