God's Plan

Over the past month or two I have realized that my plan does not always line up w/ God's plan. Where I want to go to school in the fall may not be where God wants me to be. This has been a pressing issue on my mind the last couple of months.

I just have to ask myself the question, "How hard is it to follow God's will?"

Why can't our church today just get out of the way and earnestly seek after God's face and follow his plan for our lives?

Today the average American (including myself) is so caught up with jobs, money, dating, school, friends and all kinds of other crap that God and his plan for us gets shoved to the back burner.

I say that it is time to start following God again. We cannot have our churches as meeting grounds for people. Our churches need to be meeting grounds for God to work in congregations as a whole instead of a social hour.

Figuring out God's plan is not the hard part...it's following it once he reveals it to us. God will not withhold his plan for our lives from us. He will reveal it to us in His time, not ours. All we have to do is follow it.

Luke 9:23 - look it up

God is so awesome

Man, I love our youth group. We have grown so much over just the last month, not just in numbers but spiritually as well. It has been great to see some new faces w/ us. I love when leaders have to drive their own cars because our 15 passenger van actually has 15 people in it.
God has great things planned for our student ministry and has placed excellent leaders to carry out his good and perfect plan. I only hope that when Allen and I are ministers that we are apart of something half as awesome as this youth group. Tonight was great. We had a rockin' good time w/ R.L. Ah, good ol' D-Now days (Only Allen knows what I'm talkin' about)
I'm really excited to see our ministry molded into what God wants it to be, a beacon to lead our church into change. I love the way we as a group have stepped up and just like Paul said "Look at us...we as a student ministry are following God. It doesn't matter if there are a million different problems w/ this church or none...we will continue to seek after God's plan for our lives. Man to all of you who read this from WHBC, I love you guys w/ all my heart. You guys are amazing.
