Have you ever noticed that chaos sometimes surrounds you or your group just before God is about to do something BIG?!? Well, I have had a week like that. But now, my daughter and our youth group are at Battle Cry in Virginia and they are having an awesome spiritually enlightening weekend. You can learn more about the event at http://battlecry.com and you can keep up with the newly posted videos by visiting my You Tube site at http://www.youtube.com/bloglady . As for this week, we had a teen couple break-up, physical problems that had to be stopped in their tracks by the Almighty, and plenty of stress. A special Wednesday evening prayer meeting worshipping, praising and seeking God's will pretty much handled everything! What a week! I'm actually excited because of the way God has shown how He can handle everything if we seek Him and keep the faith!
Surviving the Circus of politics, religious dogma, science deniers and day-to-day life is nice, but THRIVING is better! Learn to find magic in the chaos. Truth, common sense and actions matter. Remember - faith without works is dead. That's what that verse means. You must invest more than lip service if you expect change, whether the change you seek is in your personal life or in the world. Education is KEY, and with experience, leads to wisdom.
