get involved in church!

hey y`all!
today i did...nothing. i sat at home and watched tv, got on the computer, made a smoothie, && danced a little bit. i wish we had church everyday. hopefully tomorrow i'll hang out with ashley or something so we can practice our song for the talent show. b/c we really need practice. haha
so anyway, my devotion last night was on getting involved in church! which was most def. the best thing i ever have done, was get involved at new hope. im there all the time and i just love spending time with the youth group, worshiping Jesus, learning about Him, and helping out at new hope! its great! so what does the bible say? 1 Corinthians 3:9 says, "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's feild, God's building." we need to be active perticipants in church and not just sit there like bumps on logs! we need to get involved for Jesus, become a part of something bigger than ourselves. instead of going to church out of habit we need to go to church out of a desire to know and to worship God! Church is a great thing. its a place to get to know friends who share your faith, worship Jesus, learn about him, have a ton of fun, and be surrounded by good clean people and things. its just amazing. i am most happy, whenever im at church with the people i love learning about God :] my devotion book had this in it and i thought i'd share it with y`all: "make church a celebration, not an obligation: your attitude towards church is important, in part, because it is contagious" which i thought was neat. b/c its true if we show others we love chruch and how much fun it is, people around us will want to be a part of that too!
i love y`all!
God Bless!
