Hey everyone. The following entry is not the work on my own. It was written by a freshman girl named Sterling, yet it wasn't even truly the work of hers. It was entirely the work of Jesus, by the prescence of His Holy Spirit. I thank God for last night with all of my heart and would like to share the experience from the point of view of one of the girls who's heart was impacted. Praise by to Jesus.
I have just got to say i have never felt so inspired in my life i just got back from Fastbreak and it was the most amazing uplifting weekend i think i will ever take part in. It all started and I got there and was like wow cute boys this should be fun. But it turned into so much more than that. Last night was our last night and all the Lake Highland kids came together for one last meeting and it was something i will never in a million years forget. Ryan was up and talking to all of us about how we need to get back and truly be ourselves and share the word with as many people as possible and just i want people to experince the joy i am experiencing the things i felt lifted off of me this weekend are indescribable and something i just want everyone to know and feeel! i LOVE this feeling. WEll anyways back to last night we were all in one room and Ryan was talking to us on how we need to share the word with people and then he asked if anyone had anything to say and a girl was just touched she had gotten this feeling from GOd that she was supposed to be up there and she was like i know there are people out here who are lost and havent found that true relationship with Christ and if u would come up now thatd would just be amazing! Shes kind of shy and this was hard for her she was crying and shaking but because of her great intergrity and belief that it was the right thing to do i am sure that every person in there last night was touched personally. We all came up front and was able to join together and One HUGE group hug and we all prayed and we all wept it was the most amazing feeling in the entire world, boys who just opened up and cried and was touched i just cried and cried and cried and it wasnt sad tears it was the greatful tears of joy that HE had shown me the way to go and that this is the beginning of a new life, a new changed person that i have beome and i hope that i can just kept the fire alive and be the perfect person for Him and only Him. He is the one, HE is so great and i cant get enough of it. It wont matter if it makes you differnt, and your made fun of for it, it DOESNT matter and in the end when you get to heaven Christ is not going to stand there and ask you, "WEre you popular in highschool?" No hes not going to ask you that, and it doenst matter what people will think and you have to do it for yourself, b/c once you do it will be the most amazing experience of your life!
I Leave you with these verses. Psalms 3:3,4
But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill!
And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Tell me if you want to talk about anything and Im always here for anyone!!
