OKAY PEOPLE I'VE GOT GOOD GOOD GOOD NEWS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOPPEEEEE X) my cousin has decided to join our church !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESYESYESYESYESYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS she thinks our worship rocks and the people are really friendly. GOOD WORK PEOPLE!!!!!! XD I'm really glad that she decided to come to our church after all, fellowship is as important as personal growth too and church helps us in all aspects of this life. Anyway!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

One outreach has already done so much for all of us, and I hope that through this, we can also know how important and effective prayer can be! We may not be able to invite friends down for outreaches all the time BUT if that's the case, then we should actually tell our friends the gospel! Prayer REALLY works and if we just pray hard enough and keep the faith that GOD will help us through, then our friends may also receive CHRIST through these conversations about CHRIST. Sometimes we might fear rejection or being laughed at by friends, but we dont have to fear these. I used to be afraid of these too, but then we just have to know that God is there for us all the time and He is our friend, our Saviour, our Father, our Lord.

''I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength''Philippians 4.13

Most of us should know this verse from the bible and maybe, we know it so well that we start to be TOO familiar with it and no longer see the truth behind it. Now I understand what Dave said before about how familiarity comes into picture when it comes to keeping the faith. We have seen this verse so many times, we can memorise it backwards! But, we dont see the deeper meaning it has.

Only recently I started to look at this verse from another perspective after a terrible incident that happened. Someone's relative died and I know that I can never relate to her and emphathise with her fully. But when searching for verses to encourage her, I came across this verse and an evil though just went through my mind. This verse is too simple.

But, in the end, I just though that it was the most appropriate verse. strength. what is strength really? Strength is what we all need, strength is so broad an issue that it can be related to almost everything we do. strength to face up to peer pressure, strength to do what's right, strength to go through obstacles, strength to have the faith. God can give us everything, God allows us to do everything through the strength He provides us with! And so, everything is possible because of this strength, it only depends on whether we WANT to use it and whether itis the BEST way for us, depending on God's will, which is for all our best interests. X)

I guess what I'm trying to say is, This verse can be seen from so many perspectives and simple as it seems to be, it carries a much deeper meaning that God can use to speak to us.

If God can use a verse as short as this to speak to us, He can speak to us through EVERYTHING. and what's important is that we allow Him to. X)

HAHA I kind of squeezed a lot of what I wanted to say in this post and I think it must be very confusing but... God's love is SO BROAD YOU CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!!!! HAHAHA YEAH!!!!!!!

WITH LOVE, <3 jo-Ann
