God is Good!

What an exciting and amazing week I've had! God never ceases to amaze me with what He plans. Despite having had a tough month of September (with school, work, and drama), God has decided to show me just what it means to follow Him and trust in Him.

A month ago, I gave a book called "Every Young Man's Battle" to my best guy friend. I've known him since the beginning of high school, and he is like the older brother I've never had but always wanted. Recently, I've been evangelizing to him a lot and I think he's starting to think about it a lot more. He's decided to abandon his life of sin and go looking for God. My heart was so warmed by that! Yesterday, God granted me another surprise - my friend actually came to youth group! He is still seeking, but I feel that he is getting close to salvation through Jesus!

I find that whenever you least expect something, that's when something amazing happens. It's because we decide to put our trust in God instead of in other things. When you put your trust in the Lord, He grants many beautiful wonderful things that you never expected. Yet if you put your trust in earthly things, you will never be truly happy, and the gifts that God gives will leave you empty and wanting more. True joy and peace are only found in God's arms!
