This needs to die in my life.
Please pray that I can overcome this in my life each day and rest in the fact that God will provide in every area of my life!
Thank you God for this great weekend of hanging with other Youth Ministers!

The Changed Life
Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest!
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new —2 Corinthians 5:17
What understanding do you have of the salvation of your soul? The work of salvation means that in your real life things are dramatically changed. You no longer look at things in the same way. Your desires are new and the old things have lost their power to attract you. One of the tests for determining if the work of salvation in your life is genuine is— has God changed the things that really matter to you? If you still yearn for the old things, it is absurd to talk about being born from above— you are deceiving yourself. If you are born again, the Spirit of God makes the change very evident in your real life and thought. And when a crisis comes, you are the most amazed person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is no possibility of imagining that you did it. It is this complete and amazing change that is the very evidence that you are saved.
What difference has my salvation and sanctification made? For instance, can I stand in the light of 1 Corinthians 13 , or do I squirm and evade the issue? True salvation, worked out in me by the Holy Spirit, frees me completely. And as long as I "walk in the light as He is in the light" ( 1 John 1:7 ), God sees nothing to rebuke because His life is working itself into every detailed part of my being, not on the conscious level, but even deeper than my consciousness.
Love ya guys

My Time with God this morning!
I am blown away each time I sit and listen to what God wants me to hear. This morning was a great time just letting God work in my heart. So I wanted to share again from my Q.T. This is from Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest! Enjoy!

Fellowship in the Gospel
. . . fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ . . . —1 Thessalonians 3:2
After sanctification, it is difficult to state what your purpose in life is, because God has moved you into His purpose through the Holy Spirit. He is using you now for His purposes throughout the world as He used His Son for the purpose of our salvation. If you seek great things for yourself, thinking, "God has called me for this and for that," you barricade God from using you. As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God’s interests. This can only be accomplished by giving up all of your personal plans once and for all, and by allowing God to take you directly into His purpose for the world. Your understanding of your ways must also be surrendered, because they are now the ways of the Lord.
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. I should never say, "Lord, this causes me such heartache." To talk that way makes me a stumbling block. When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. He can crush me, exalt me, or do anything else He chooses. He simply asks me to have absolute faith in Him and His goodness. Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. Doing this creates for me my own cozy "world within the world," and God will not be allowed to move me from it because of my fear of being "frost-bitten."
Have a blessed day seeking and following the Lord!

Hmmm......
I don't really use myspace anymore. I use to alot about 2 years ago because I am a Youth Minister,I wanted to be able to keep up with my students. But now with facebook it is just easier and not so many crazy ads........ Tonight I decided to check myspace and see if I had any messages. I signed in and the first thing I saw tonight was an ad...... Saying click here to find your perfect religion. All you have to do is answer a few question and they will match you with the right religion for you!!! This is such crap. I am so tired of our world and how we try to make everything about and for us. Jesus Christ is and always will be the only way. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. It is not about Religion it is about a relationship. People please understand there is not some magical religion that is gonna make you feel good and help make you millions. But I can say this there is a Christ who loves you more than anything and showed you by dying on a cross for your sins. So stop trying to find something to make you feel better and start living for the one who died for you. If we began to live a life that pleased Him our world would be changed.
