Our God is Awesome. He is the most powerful being in the Universe…and He is always with us. He has promised to “never leave us, nor forsake us”. In Joshua 1:9, Yeshua is calling (joshua) us to be strong and courageous, and to not be terrified or discouraged. But don’t think He’s asking you to do it on your own. No, if you need strength he’ll give it to you. If you need courage he’ll fill you with it. If you are afraid He’s there to comfort you. And if you are discouraged the Ultimate Encourager is right there by your side. All you have to do is Ask.
Unfortunately I have been neglecting God the past week. I’ve been too focused on satisfying my needs on my own, rather than slowing down- spending time with him- sharing my life with him - and trusting that he’ll take care of me. I’ve been running around looking for people to encourage me. I’ve been “terrified” of started new/better habits in my life, because I’ve become too attached to my Uber-Comfortable-Lazy-Tasty-NonCommital ways. I haven’t been strong or courageous in my faith, by reaching out to others in word or deed, at school…
BUT I know God is calling me to change right now. He’s calling me to daily Commit myself to Him.
Before you go check your email, give ben more schrute bucks, and study for you test… It would be awesome if you could say a quick prayer for all the students in the Scollege ministry. ….. Amen

nice. that’s a great theme. if it’s repeated in the Scriptures, it’s well worth remembering for daily life.

thanks guys.
this week is going to be either HardCore or Lame. I want so bad for it to be HardCore.
One Day at a Time. One hour at a Time.
One intentional decision at a time.

thanks how you do it man. i’ve noticed in the last few days a tendency for prayer which i then concluded is just a result from spending more time with our Father. i’ve laughed at life with Him a couple times and that’s a trip. good times with the Lord!
