You Are The Soverign I Am!

So it's been awhile since I've blogged, but that doesn't mean I've been slacking. In fact, I've seen myself grow a lot in these past few days and weeks.
---
I think the biggest and most beautiful revolution is that I've realized that God is still alive in the hearts of young people! The revolution doesn't lay in the fact that I've realized this but the fact that it's true. I've been so inspired by my youth and by youth that I've been talking to recently and I praise God for His work and His love. I'm so in love with Him and when I see Him in the eyes of my friends, my heart swells with joy and excitement.

On Sunday Simon talked about the Transformation of the Mind and I think that's huge in the process of giving all to God.
-
Renewing Your Mind:
- God's word
- Prayer
- Worship
-
Conform or Transform?
- Our minds have to be prepared for action
- We have to be critical thinkers and discipline our minds
- Get ready for battle
-
Philippians 4:8-9
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
-
A Mind Challenge:
- Spend 15 minutes a day for one month reading the Bible
- Quietly listen to God for 10 minutes each morning for 2 weeks

When God is the center of your life, happiness truely takes over. Ever since I started 365, I've been happy. Yea, I've had my stressful days, but that's normal. I've been stepping out of my comfort zone, which is totally unlike me, but I've been rewarded for it. I think that God wants us to step out of our comfort zone. How else are we supposed to grow and learn? We'll become stronger and more outgoing people if we do. And we need to be outgoing to be successful for Christ. Don't let your fears take hold of you, because wherever you go, God has already gone ahead of you to prepare the path for you.

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
