Talk about a crazy weekend! I spent my weekend non-stop running! Friday night I left work early to head up the hill for the youthgroup lock-in we were having. I left work at about 6:30 to hit stop and go traffic. It took me 45 minutes to drive two miles of the freeway! Knowing I had to be up the hill within two hours I called friends that knew the area so they could get me the back way to the back route up the freeway. Thank God for them! I passed sooo much stopped traffic it was amazing! I ended up getting up the hill by 8pm and the rest of my night was a blast! We stayed up playing pit, dominos, flashlight tag, musical chairs, and duck duck goose! And at about 5:30am we all went out to watch the sun rise. And at this point I have to show pictures. It was absolutely amazing!
Here are pictures of my awesome youthgroup! I love these guys! They are the most fun people to hang out with. Each are unique in their own way. I could go on and explain each one, but I won't. Just know that as much as this is a ministry for them, I am usually the one ministered to.
So what has God been doing in my life? Every week I get more and more convicted on things I need to change. But there are moments that I just want to be selfish and live my life for me. I know God will continue to work on me. He always does. I just don't want to become so numb that I stop hearing His call to change. There are times, like Sunday, where I really feel that I can do what I need to do. Read the bible on a daily basis, pray and cry out to Him for strength and guidance in my daily activities, and just live a God-filled life. But for some reason I have yet to do these things that I know will strengthen who I am and make me a better person. And for those of you reading this and believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again for our sins, please be praying that I will do the will of God in my life.
Well I must get to work. I hope you enjoy the pictures of the gorgeous sunrise that God blessed us with Saturday morning!
