High School && Being the Church!

Everyone says that high school is the time of your life and the memories you will never forget, well will someone please tell me when this kicks in??? High school is just like middle school to me. You do the samethings and no "new" freedoms. People say that its just because your a freshman and all!! If that is the case, can we please hurry the 9th grade up to the 10th???

The past couple of months, my christian walk has been amazing. God is placing stuff right in front of my eyes and I have really enjoyed that. I know that this isnt always gonna be the case, I'm gonna have to search for what God wants me to do. My former youth minster, Curt Hanna, who I really look up to once said "Stop doing church, and, Start being the Church." To tell you the truth this little quote has really got me through the past couple of months. In order to be the church you have to step out of your comfort zone, and, don't let silly things/comments bring you down. A good exmple of this is when I went on the Kentucky mission trip with First Mt. Moriah. While I was there, I meet alot of wonderful and amazing people. The most important part is, that I saw how God works through people to show others about him. There was this little boy there who I will never for until the day I die, named Dalton. Katie, Leahanne, and I were all in crafts one day and the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders came in. In the middle of class, Katie started asking all the boys(becasue we only had boys in that class) what they wanted to be one day. All of them said the typical answers such as football players and wrestlers. Well, Dalton said I wanna be a christian. Katie followed that with "you can do that know, you dont have to wait"...somewhere in between that he said he also wanted to be a preacher. Well, the following day, which was that last night, Dalton accepted Christ!!! It brings tears to my eyes everytime I talk to it. God is just amazing and wonderful! So in Kentucky, every single one of us were being the church, and because of that we led a person to completee happiness with the Lord!!! I'm so excited that I got to share this with you!!!
