God is Good

God is Good! i love him so much. It was such a great weekend! i went to Fort Collins with 35 of my closest friends. OK, so i didn't talk to everyone, but it was a lot of fun to get to know new people and know that we were all going to be together in heaven FOREVER! God showed me that I need to trust in Him for His plans for me. i know He has something great for my future. I can't believe how faithfully He has been to me this far. i feel like i am in a holding pattern, but i know that i am still being used by Him even if i don't think this is THE thing He is going to use me for.i am so excited for the future. The speakers were amazing! They were equipping us for the future. God is so going to do something incredible in the world. It is all about having faith so that God can do His work. A pastor spoke about the innerrancy of the Bible which was amazing because He didn't just give us a page to go off of, but a handout with 20 pages to it! Then, my pastor Bill Young spoke about the DaVinci code and how so many people are going to be decieved by believing it is truth. John Meyer got up and gave such a great motivation to make sure you know that the Bible is the only true thing on this earth. It is a MIRACLE and i love it. i love it so much because God speaks through it both past and present. It speaks to my heart every time i read it. It is relevant and only God did it. It was not man. John Meyer also said that if there were more to the story than what is in the Bible and it was true, we should be seeking it out because it is truth. That is an amazing statement because I want to get mad at people that spread false ideas about God and now i know i just need to show them the real truth and question them what they are going to do to find their truth. My truth is the Bible. My truth is that God is real and He wants me for His kingdom. He has a plan for me.i was told i was conservative this weekend - good for me. I am glad someone thinks so because i was worried i wasn't looking like i was God's servant. i am glad because it has kept me out of trouble and has made me more aware that what i do, i show to people around me. i love being a "good girl" because i am different. i have been through the fire and i still don't want to blend in with the people around me. i don't want to look like someone that doesn't care what God thinks. i want to be sheltered and the more people think i am, maybe they will want to stop the things they know are not focused on God as well. i was told that i should never go to a club. i am glad because they realize that i am convicted and they respect me. i will not settle for the world's standards. i will not attract attention to myself and away from God. i will not blend into the landscape. i will walk firmly and focused TO God. If i focus on God, he will focus on providing my needs. i will not have to worry about them. That includes a place in this world. i don't want to rebel in this world but revolutionize this world.Saturday night, our church shared what each person was learning from the conference. Everyone said that they were learning there is something huge on the horizon for us. We can't let ourselves get disqualified. We have to be allowing God to equip us. As I was remembering a friend had said
"God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called."
We have to remember to

"Dream big dreams & let God live His dreams through us"

We can't give up the fight. We are in the middle of a war! We are in a war for the Lord and that is the most we can do in our lifetime.
