My encouragement chapel could not come at a better time. Tonight, I just received the news that a mother in my parent's sunday school class was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. The doctors said that the cancer would never go into remission, but through treatments she could hold off the cancer for a little bit longer. The church family was there at the hospital giving support to her when she heard the news. This strengthened my faith. In my talk, I say that when we encourage others it strengthens our faith, but I never knew this is what God had in store for me. When I heard that story it strengthened my faith. Seeing my church constantly support families that are going through a rough time encourages me. I know that if I ever go through something the church is behind me and will support me constantly. Going through my talk tonight really gave me encouragement and power. I cannot wait to talk in share and share this wonderful news with everyone else at school! God is go great! and I am blessed to be a messenger because I am not worthy enough to be called a daughter of the king, but because of God's great love he believed in me and thinks I am worthy enough to die for and wants to spend entrenal life with me! I am so grateful to know God and share he love and encouragement with others.
My Prayer:
Lord please be with the Aker family. I know what it is like to receive that news. I received that news the winter break of my 7th grade year, and it is not easy. But god has a plan and in Isaiah 41:10 it says God up holds you with a mighty and righteous right hand. Do not be afraid of discouraged. My prayer is also to let your will be done as I talk to the student body next monday. I pray everything goes will and that your words will come out of my mouth. Let you light shine. and be with our chapel and let it go your way, all I pray is that it touches one person, if more than one person is touched than we have exceeded our job, but I want one life to be changed!!
Thanks,
your faithful servant

There is something bigger
As I heard the song my own little world today by Matthew West I am reminded that the story is not about me. My own little world is not about me. "What if there's a bigger picture? What if I'm missing out? What if there's a greater purpose? I could be living right now Outside my own little world" There is something bigger outside my world. It is easy for me to live in my own little world but I don't want to be missing out anymore, I want to be reaching out. Lord lead me deeper than my feet could ever wander. Show me a greater purpose than living in my own little world. If I continue to only think and live for myself I will miss out on so much!
So much of my life is consumed with what I want to do, but there has got to be more to life than me? I am tired of living for myself I need to start living for God and the plan God has for me.

we were resting when God was working
"He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed...What can wash away my sin nothing but the blood of Jesus"Isaiah 53
Sabbath started in the garden. When God created man and women the day after was a day of rest. Our first day on this planet was Sabbath! When God made woman, man was asleep. God is working when we are sleeping. When Jesus was in the garden before he died, we were sleeping. At dinner we said we would be there for Jesus but yet we could not stay awake for that hour. God was still working while we were sleeping. He had a plan to save us and that plan was Jesus. The story started in the garden and Jesus' story ended in the garden. Jesus paid the price for all we have done, we are sinners, but God carried away our sins through the blood of Jesus. In Leviticus 16 it talks about how on the day of atonement (the passover) the people of God offered a living sacrifice for their sins, this goat was then lead into the wilderness away from society to die. This goat carried their sins away. When it died, it died with the sins of Israel. But Christ is the new law and covenant. Christ is now the goat. He died, and carried our sins away. His body was broken and his blood was shed for us. #sabbath #sacrifice
WiSdOm:
Do not ever forget the sacrifice God made, I do not want to betray Jesus
God does not need us
We were asleep when Jesus was being crushed by the weight and the sins of the world
He was crushed for our sins The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed...What can wash away my sin nothing but the blood of Jesus"Isaiah 53
