Who Are You?

What a night!!!

I was so pumped up last night to see all of you there and to have a chance to chat with you about "who you are". I know that for some of us it was a little overwhelming to hear all at once, especially if we haven't heard it before. But I think that in the end, we have to be reminded of who God is and and who we are because of Him.

I have put the podcast up on itunes and you can also sign up for texting over on the right of the screen. I can't wait to see you next Sunday and remember, you have been purchased, freed and you are a son/daughter.

First, Fun, Freshman

What UP!!!

I am so pumped up about last night. It was so awesome to see everyone there. We had the largest group of students we have ever had and not only that, but we had more freshman join us then we have ever had also. I AM SO STOKED!!!!!

Well, now that I have calmed down and peeped a little I wanted to share some cool info with you and ask you a couple questions about last night. I hope you take some time to help me out by answering some of the questions and I can not even wait to see you Sunday night.

A few quick reminders:

1. Back to School Event with TOMS shoes is September 13 at 6:00 @ 201. We will have a cookout, games and a Style Your Sole event where you can pre-order shoes (before Sept. 1 by emailing me) and then pick them up that day at The Yard and decorate them with paint, makers and other crazy stuff. The 5 people who bring the most friends get an AMAZING prize.

2. D-Group sign-ups are going on now. You can sign up Sunday nights at The Yard or you can sign-up Sunday mornings at the Connection Center at LIVE!

3. Remember to fill out the surveys on the blog, over to your right.

4. I love ya!!!

James | 1:4-8

Yaawwwnnnnn.... Yikes I am tired.

Well we just straight back into James last night and walked through verses 4-8. It was quite an experience, wouldn't you say? We uncovered some truth about wisdom and realized that the condition of our hearts has a huge impact on the generosity of God's wisdom.

Sometimes that can be a little overwhelming considering the urgency in which we receive things here in America. The thought of my responsibility when receiving such things (as wisdom) can deter us from even asking. What a thought? I know that at our ripe ol' age of 14-18 you are not exactly on the forefront of gaining mass amounts of this so called Wisdom, considering it is for old people, but it can make a world of difference in our lives.

Take some time this week and read back over James 1:4-8 and listen to the podcast. Focus on what God has and is calling you to and move toward that goal. I love ya!!
