Today my family and I decided to stream a church service from a church that some family friends of ours go to. The service was all about becoming the mirror and reflecting Gods light for all to see! What a great message to learn from!
One verse that the pastor talked about, and really stood out to me, was John 3:30- He must become greater, I must become less. That's just so true! When I'm feeling like I am on top of the world and making a difference, I have to remember that it's not about me. When I am making a difference I the world, and sharing Jesus, it's not what I am doing that is making the difference, it's God working through me that is making change possible. John 3:30 is a great reminder that we serve an Almighty God and that He's the one that makes all things possible. Without him we would be lost in darkness, searching for the Light.
When you look in a mirror you see a reflection of yourself. When we are proud of the things we have done, we will feel like we are the best and forget to give the Glory to God. This year I hope to become the mirror. When people look at me, I want them to see a direct reflection of Gods light. That's my goal for this year and I want to encourage you to think about this as the year continues!
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and I will talk to you all in my next post:)

New Year...Share Jesus:)
Fhew....hey everybody! How are all of you? I know I haven't posted in like forever but that's all gonna change with the New Year:) I'm hoping to be able to post more often in this upcoming year and just really be able to share Jesus in every aspect of my life!
So lets go back to where I left off last year...
Last summer I went to Tennessee for a youth conference called CHIC with my church and had a blast! I learned so much more about Gods word and got to meet some really awesome people!
Then in August my siblings and I chose to change schools and I am now attending Connections Academy...it's an online public school. It's taken a while to get used to but the results I am getting from attending here are great! It's a great fit for my family and I!
October and November were concert months:) I went to the Girls of Grace event and also TobyMac's Eye On It concert feat. Jamie Grace an Chris August! Both were so much fun!
For Christmas my family and I went and visited some more of our family members. We had a blast just hanging out and spending time together!
Now with the arrival of the New Year and school back in session, I'm ready to get back to blogging and sharing with you guys thoughts that I have. My motto, I guess you could call it, for 2013 is Share Jesus. I want to share Jesus in my actions, my words, and every aspect of my life:) I can't wait to see what God had planned for this year and am excited to be sharing it with you all! Make it a great rest of the week!
