Winter Impact: How can we make an impact?

This weekend I went on the winter impact retreat with Echo, my youth group for those that do not know. We had an amazing time. Friday night was so powerful. I did not really feel re-connected with God, however, until Saturday night.

This is not going to be a long post, but i do have a question. How many times are we going to call ourselves Christians and still live the unchristian life? I saw this video on you tube today, and it reminded me so much of our generation.



People of our generation seem to think that being a "good" Christian is so much hard work, and it is. What they do not understand, is we are not going to be condemned to hell for not reading the Bible and praying every single day. Don't get me wrong, these are important, but just because our day runs long and we end up running out of time does not make you a bad person. Trust me i know what it is like to be busy, I work thirty hours a week and i go to school forty. I do not get to bed until around midnight and I am up at 6. I know how busy life is. My challenge is that you do your best to be as close to God as possible. You don't have to light a bunch of candles at a certain time of day to talk to Him. Just turn off the music on your way to school or work and talk to Him. God loves all of us, no matter what!!!! Remember that.

Anyway I just wanted to share that.

Peace, Hope, and Love!!
