It's cool to know that all the things you wrote down on that red paper are now just ashes. That's the same way as God looks at them too. When you live in obedience, God is so pleased. I want to thank all of you for showing up, listening and applying God's Word. It's a joy to study God's Word each week and then spew it out to you. Feel free to comment and write your thoughts and questions from this week. Also, if you read something cool in one of those 12 books, make sure to comment on it. See ya next week...

So i really appreciate this series that we are doing because i feel like so many people dont know their bibles well enough. But lately i have been feeling like i put myself and the things i have wanted before God and i have been trying to connect with Him but i was just not feeling Him even though i was praying and getting into the word. But last night when i realized that i wasnt seeking God with all my heart it was because i was putting myself first. So Adam i think God has definately been using you so much since you have returned and its inspired me to bring up conversation about Jesus every time i open my mouth. Thank you:)
I am so glad we are doing this series, its amazing that God allows me to be a part of this youth group as my Job! I see God working in such huge ways and even showing me things though this. I hope that as the series continues that students won't get bored with it but continually seeking after more of God's Word, I hope that for myself as well. Interesting that as part of the staff I don't always expect I will learn a lot from messages geared towards high schoolers but I keep learning how wrong I am about that.
I found my idol was something familiar with a lot of people, both jealousy over and longing for a relationship. I have been so focused on it for so long, it overtook my longing to seek after God. Adam, you really just made me realize that God will bring me into a relationship in His time, not mine, and wishing and daydreaming isn't gonna make it come any sooner.
God's in control, and I just have to remember that it's His will, not mine, that should be done!
Can't wait for next week! I find I'm learning more each week, and find myself getting excited as Wednesday gets closer!
