Fully Dependant On God

Hey everyone, I just wanted to encourage you all in the Lord by sharing some things that He's been teaching me and some verses He's led me to. Let me start out by saying that, for those who don't know me, I really enjoy acting. I adore the performing part but the audition part is really stressful. With audition, call-back, call-back it can get crazy. The hardest part is trying to rely only God completely when there's a part that you really, really want. Also, I've committed myself to staying pure until marriage (a decision that I believe that you all, if you have not yet, should make!) and the best way to go about it is to not look to men to satisfy you in your single years but to look to God and always be delighting in Him. Sometimes it's really hard to do this especially when you're discouraged. But I've been praying and just in the past little while God has opened my eyes to how wonderful He is.I know that they don't all have this same theme but I wanted to share some verses here:

'Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love,which binds them all together in perfect unity.'
Colossians 3:12-14

'Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what He done, and proclaim that His name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things; let this be known in all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.'
Isaiah 12:4-6

Stay strong,

Do Hard Things

I have finished one of the most powerful books I have ever read. It is by two teens Alex and Brett Harris called 'Do Hard Things'. It has been an amazing book and it has truly changed my life and the things I do.

Most people in today's culture expect nothing from teenagers. The book is mainly about rebelling against low expectations. Instead of trying to slip away from the things that we don't want to do and that may be hard for us, we need to step up and get out of our comfort zone. Maybe something that is hard for you may be keeping conversations with adults. Or maybe it is being obedient and respectful to your parents. Whatever it is in your life there is always a spot for improvement and doing those things that may not always come easy.

Your adolescence years are when you became a man or woman. The more you do hard things now the easier they'll be when your older. For instance: When Brett (one of the authors of the book) used to start taking showers he was really scared and didn't like it. But the more he took them the more he seemed less afraid. That is how it is with doing difficult things that you don't want to do. They will pay off in the future. If your problem is doing chores with a cheerful heart and you work on it now look at how good you'll be at it later when your a mom.

One of the most important things of all is doing it for the glory and honor of Jesus Christ and letting him be control of our lives not the other way around. I challenge you to read this book and I promise you, you won't regret it later.
