This is Good

This week is the week where I have to get all my college application stuff together because I send in my college application next week! Which is quite scary thinking I will be semi- on my own in less than a year, not quite sure how I feel about that yet. A couple weeks ago we got our chapel group assignments and my group decided to plan our chapel on encouragement. Since this week will be quite stressful for me and some of my friends I am determined to write a note of encouragement to my friends! Even though I may not get encouragement back that is not the point. Jesus called us to be a friend not to have friends, I am being called to encourage not to be encouraged and maybe through the process of encouragement I can be encouraged! Through every situation I need to be reminded that this is good! Even though it might not be good or it might be hard or something I do not want to be doing, if I constantly tell myself this is good I will begin to have to mentality of everything being good! And it will encourage me to achieve and do more than when I am discouraged and down on myself!

Romans 12:8
If your gift is to encourage others, do it! If you have money, share it generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showering kindness to others, do it gladly.

Romans 12:4-5
Such things were written in the scriptures long ago to teach us. They give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises. May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other-- each with the attitude Christ Jesus toward the other.

Hebrews 3:13
But encourage one another daily as long as it is called today so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness

You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are

My PrAyEr:

Lord this week I hope your spirit just breathes peace into my life and that your words will be spoken out of my mouth. I also pray for my chapel class group. I pray you give us wisdom and guidance into what you want you to tell the student body. Let your will be done because it is not about us. I may know the I am but I am for sure the I am not!! Lord thank you for blessing me with the wonderful people I have in my life I do not think I could be alive right now if it was not for the encouragement from the people that surround me. Thank you so much. You are good!
