God Didn't Make Us to Worry
It’s true, we weren’t created to stress and fret over anything. So why is it so easy to over analyze, and worry about every little detail in life? We worry about money, we were about grades, we worry about if people like us, or if we’re important, and sometimes we worry about worrying. When does it stop? It stops here.
Matthew 6:34 says this “Therefore do not worry about...

Reach for the Stars
One education expert said: “Our current ceiling for students is really much closer to where the floor ought to be.”
We live in a society where young people are expected to do nothing, because we are capable of nothing. A society that doesn’t expect us to understand what they tell us. And even if we understand they don’t expect us to care. And even if we care they...

On Fire
Man, I was excited to come to camp this summer to work as a counselor, but once I got here I didn’t quite like what I was part of. It didn’t feel like I fit in, and it felt like I didn’t belong, but after the first week when the kids got here all those feelings left. Now I know I belong, and I feel like this is exactly where God wants me. I’m loving camp so much and I feel...

"Clean" Up Your Act
I was on Facebook earlier and I saw a link to a page that said the end of the world was in 12 days. Now I find that a little hard to believe and didn’t give it much attention, but it did make me think. If the end of the world was in 12 days, what would I do?
Well I thought back to a few days ago when I overheard somebody saying they were going in to the doctor for a annual check-up and...
The Sound of Love
If you listen closely you can hear the sobs of sorrow,
Because in life sadness is expected in every tomorrow.
But wait another sound, it’s the emphatic shout of joy,
That bouncing, booming feeling in every girl and boy.
If you strain your ear you can hear the whisper of trust,
It’s presence in every relationship is essential and a must.
Shh but wait another sound is near,
oh...

Motivation
I don’t understand me sometimes. I will wait till the last possible second to do things like homework, or study for tests. Things that are very important and beneficial to my future, but I will be so excited and happy to waste time on things like making dumb videos, or planning things for something that isn’t even school related. It just doesn’t make much sense the way I work,...

Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae
Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I’ll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands, Oh..

Some People Just Mean too Much to Let Go Of
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbour, co-worker, longest friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at...
The Mind
Sometimes the human mind can be a pain in the butt.
I do something today, I make a decision and I am so happy that I made it, but it is so difficult. And now I can’t stop thinking about it…It’s going to be so hard to stick to this decision and not get frustrated or upset, but I know that this is what is good, I hope. And I know that God will help me through this decision and if...

The One I Love
As this pours from my heart it goes out to the one I love,
Your face shines like the sun and your touch as gentle as a dove.
Our life together is so perfect and it flows like the lyrics to a song,
With you in my life there is nothing that could possibly go wrong.
It seems so crazy that we met just as my life was going down,
But you seemed to save me you brought me to life before I drown.

Choices
What is life, but a list of choices. The choice to good or bad as a kid, the choice to do good or to be lazy in high school, the choice to go to college, the choice to go to church, believe in God, accept Christ into your heart. Choices that you make daily could change your life.
Being a Christian I seek God with every choice I face. I look at his law and his will for my life, and I obey. A lot...

Theology
I am a Christian and I stand firm in my faith, but I love to hear someone talk about theology and debate points with other people. It gets me fired up, and makes me want to go research everything I can on these topics. I could listen to anyones point of view on theology and still be perfectly content.
Like today for example, a Calvinist came and talked to our class (of Arminians), as I looked...
