Living for Christ when no one else will.

So this week has been pretty hectic! Between being sick, doing school work and working on cakes its been busy so i havent had a chance to blog and i have seriously missed it! So its time to catch up. So recently me and my boyfriend both became burdened for kids and teenagers that dont have a church to go to and are not saved but live right across the street from the church we go to. We decided to start putting up flyers and having days where we go out and witness to kids in our neighborhoods. We hear about missionarys in foreign countries and it got us thinking why go to a foreign country when their our people around us that are not even saved? Also we really feel like having a strong big youth group makes all the difference. We went to a youth camp this summer and were on fire for God that whole week but coming back to a youth group thats small and dont really care about living for God and it was hard. Its discouraging to not have people around you that are just so in love with God and you feel like your the only one. I recently visited a youth group and when I walked in the came up to me and hugged me and when I went up to the alter they came up and prayed with me. You could tell that God was really in their lives and in that place. I have found myself becoming discouraged with the feeling that im the only one but came across this verse that really has helped me out....and its Philippians 2:14-18 and it says "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me." Although we are in a warped and crooked generation we still need to stand firm and live by faith. Even when no one else around you is doing the right thing you can because you have God on your side. I hope this has been just as encouraging to you as it has to me!
