Called to Share God's Love

My life right now, is relatively content.
Some huge, stressful, things happened to me a few weeks ago..and really put me between a rock and a sharp place...
But somehow, I managed to turn to God first, and cling onto him for dear life.
And I've been really blessed.
Granted, like every teenager I suppose, I've been frustrated with my parents.
I've also been feeling very insignificant...almost worthless...
I just feel like I'm missing out on something....Some big secret that makes life so much fun. Or maybe that I have some courageous gift that God has bestowed upon me, but I just can't seem to figure out what it is...
But, my church has been doing things extremely different. We've captured the vision of a church service on wednesday nights, that is ran by the kids.
No more of this force feeding crap, where the youth minister tries to convince everyone to love Jesus.
The church, Calvary Chapel, Is a building. A building with tools. And Mark, is one of our wonderful Youth Ministers who is there to help us.
But it's not the church's job to force Jesus down our throats.
We as students need to step up and be a guiding light. Because no matter what Mark says, or Doug, or Brandon, or any of the adults....It doesn't matter if those of us students don't go out, show love, and bring kids to church to hear the good news....Or maybe just give them the good news our selves!
It's not until we start OWNING this ministry, that we really believe in it, and that we begin to see change, and hope in this messed up broken world.
At church, we've created a prayer wall, where kids can write one or two words, draw a picture, or just write a name, or verse that means something to them. So that others can pray.
We're doing worship different...and we're striving to make worship more intimate..none of this "going through the motions" crap.
We're challenged to stand up and speak what we believe. To show love.
To honor God with our talents whether its painting, drawing, writing, speaking, singing, playing music, writing a blog, making up a catchy metaphor, or maybe doing a little dance! All that matter is that we're doing it for God, and we're trying to show God's love and grace to others.
And that's what I've been challenged to do.
If you wanna talk to me about, send me a message! Catch me at school! I'd love to chat.
If you wanna visit the church to see what we're all about, again, ask me. It's Calvary Chapel, the phone number is 345-6418. I can give you directions or draw you a pretty map :)
You're always welcome to come.
I figure I'll leave it at that.. Just know that I love you! Who ever you are!And I'd love to share God's love, peace, joy, compassion, understanding, comfort, and grace with you!
Blessings.
