Not a Fan

I can't believe what I just wrote is not even in here so I have to rewrite it again. As I was saying, I read a book called Not a Fan where it deals with if we are truly God's followers or just a fan. A fan as in sticking a bumper sticker on...

our car that says "I Love Jesus" or "WWJD". I also remembered in DT's prayer how he'd always say we don't come here as a routine of doing praise, then bible study every sunday. Being a true follower is being devoted as a Chrisitan. I only read half the book but it made me rethink alot. So, let's all be followers not just fans.

This Week

This week had its many ups and downs. I actually experienced the rewards and punishments from God. I felt so unlucky and depressed on Monday because everything bad was happening to me: my grades were dropping, there were struggles between friends, and more pressure from school. Although blaming God is wrong, that was all I could think to do. After everything I had been through that day, I just wanted someone to blame and take my anger out on. I regretted it the moment I said it and immediately repented and prayed that my faith would be stronger and that I would have the courage to face my worldly problems. I realized that I only turn to God during bad times and not as much during good times. I resolved myself to think about God all the time, through good or bad, and to always be grateful with what I have. After the prayer on Monday, my whole week started to get better. I had felt the amazing feeling of God's grace and his forgiveness. I have learned to be more thankful and brave. Every emotional experience shapes me as a person and my faith. Without any true experiences, no one can really grow to have the best faith. -Josh

So I just thought of this today after a while of being in pain from pe. Of course this relates to the message I am about to share with my fellow friends and more. Today during pe I was a little more than minorly hurt and  
hurt my arm and wrist. After some time at home and relaxing I suddenly remembered that I had to post a story about a lesson or lecture that we can share. What I thought about was that even though I have been hurt we should take this pain and endure it. I am not encouraging you to not attend yourself to medical attention but I mean to say that people in this world are like this everyday in there life. They have pain that is far much more painful then mine and no one cares to notice. The reason I say this is because since they don't have anyone to care for them WE should PRAY for them and help them notice that they are not alone in their pain. I say we should pray for them and help them learn about the Word of God. Isn't the bible about helping others in need, being nice to your elders, brothers/sisters. This is what God wants. He wants us to help other people be noticed and be cared for not just ourselves. In Galatians chapter 6:2 it says," Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." This is my proof that we should and will try I hope to help people in need. Just as I am hurt so are many other people spiritual and physical that are much more in pain then me today. I hope this message helped you guys remember or learn something new today.
