first day back

hey y'all!
so today was the first day of my junior year. goodness gracious, i am NOT ready to be back at school. haha. the block scheduling is badd. i really dont like sitting there for and hour and a half every class. and i got so confused. haha. i got to hand out a bunch of GodStock cards today and will continue too all week. and tell people about church all summer and how fun its been. it was really neat. i really am going to try to step it up this year and let everyone see that im a Christian and that its REALLY great to have Jesus in my heart :] im really excited about my guitar class. it sounds really fun. and then tonight i went to dance and did contemporary & now im home.
my devotion was on making your actions conform to your beliefs. Matthew 7:20 says, "Therefore by their fruits you will know them. (NKJV)" we can say what we believe as much as we want, but it doesnt mean anything until we show others we mean what we say through our actions. my devotion book says, the sermons that we live are far more compelling than the ones we preach. the way we life is a reflection of what we truly believe. Lesslie Newbigin said "It is less improtant to ask a Christian what he or she believes about the Bible than to inquire what he or she does with it." we can read the bible until our hearts content but what we need to do is take it to heart and live by what it says. talking about our beliefs is one thing, living them is another. so show people what us Christians are made of! like mister allen said sunday night, if you squeeze a christian really hard, what should pop out?? JESUS!! haha.
i love y'all!
God Bless!
