Let Go, and Let God

-
I hold on to tight yet you still slip from my hand.
I fear letting go but I know that is what is better for us both.
It is my turn to let go now, I’ve said all I can say, and I've done all I could do.
My place in your life is slipping away.
Oh, how I fear what tomorrow brings,
as I sit here today letting go.
Letting go not because I want to, letting go not because you want me to,
letting go because it is my turn to let go, and let God.
I let go and turn back to prayer, to keep you close, to keep you cared for and protected.
It is hard, but I know that even if I’m forever in the background, it is where you need me.
I let go, I let God
He is there, so I will not fear.



"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths straight."  - Proverbs 3:5-6

God has brought each of you this far!  Let go of everything.  Let go of friendships, and don't fear being alone.  God has made a way, and He will not leave you.  Letting go of people is the hardest thing to do but in order to have strong and lasting relationships you have to let go of each other and the world, let God take control and He will make a way.  Let go of anything holding you back.  Let go so that you can let God make it beautiful.

Success

Have you ever thought about the meaning of success?  Why do we strive to be in the spotlight?  What does God say about being successful?  Mathew 25:14-30 shares with us the parable of the talents.  (Go read it! Mathew25:14-30 {Bible Gateway} ) The master gives them their talents according to their ability.  Knowing that the servant who only got one talent wasn`t as capable as the servant who got five talents.  Success should be weighed on our past accomplishments, not the accomplishments of others.  Diversity is woven through all of us.  In turn it doesn`t make sense to compare our weakness to others strengths.  God`s power is made perfect in our weaknesses.  Just as God said to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  Success is measured by degree of effort.  Biblical success is faithfully using our talents, gifts, and opportunities to glorify God. If God b...

Preparing for the trip

-
On the 14th of January, I volunteered to lead the Children's Ministry team of our trip.  This means I am in charge of planning the "VBS" for the children.  Basically this trip has made me very busy.  I am still so overwhelmed and it still feels so unreal.  I leave in 3 weeks, it's bizarre!!  I have been learning lots of French and so much about the culture in the Bahamas.  There are so many amazing traditions there.  God has truly been challenging me as I prepare for this trip.  Twenty- three days to go until I am in Spanish Wells.  I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me.

I will not be Attending a “Christian” College

-
College, a journey we’ve all been looking forward to, yet one of the biggest decisions of our lives.  You start to google to find out what options you have, before you know it you are lost.  Lost in the long list of all the different school, the pressure seams to build and you don’t even know what you want/need anymore.  If your smart or gifted then schools “fight” for you, if your average (like me) then you got to roll with the punches and find the school for you.  As I go about finding my college, I now know that I won’t be attending a Christian college and here is why. Being a Christian is so much more than following a religion and set of “rules” brought on by a church.  It is the following Christ in every aspect of our lives, and I feel that we have lost that in many ways as a Christian community.  Why would I go to a school when I don’t agree with all that they believe in?  From the experiences I’ve had in the past I know that any school/org...
