Middle School / Revelation

We had a great service last night with the middle school! 5 students got saved and prayed with us to follow Jesus!!! Our middles school students have come so far these last few months. We still have a ways to go, but man it is great!!! We have about 40 middle school students that come out each week. God is really doing awesome things with our youth. They are catching the vision of the Give-A-Way, bringing in all kinds of great items. I am so excited they are understanding what it means to bless others!!! We have just a few weeks left of collecting things until we deliver it in February. It is going to be a great day!!!!

I don't know about you but I have so many ideas and information that I am constantly learning, reading, and coming across and it gets so hard to remember it all. I am always coming across things that are great quotes, illustrations, truth, revelation, etc... I remember hearing that if you don't personally grow intentionally you will never grow, because growth is not automatic. You have to intentionally apply yourself and make sure you are disciplined to keep moving forward. So with that said I am going to try and start filling things away better and really put some systems in place to make sure I don't just forget and drop all the great things God puts in my path. I have started systems in the past but by getting SO BUSY with stuff it is hard to keep up. But I am determined to become better at retaining information and making sure I don't just forget all the things God is teaching me!!!

Habakkuk 2:2
says,
"Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it."

I want to make sure the revelations God gives me is not forgotten, but used to accomplish all that God has for me and others!
