Conformed

It's been a wild week. This week I lead worship for our youth group and church, started four classes at school, and got some hours in at work. I can honestly say that God's grace has been holding me up through all of this, because I've been really tired this past week. God has blessed me with great friends who even in my tired state bring me joy and make things exciting. This past week I did feel what seemed like discouragement from people who probably weren't trying to be discouraging, but they just seemed to come off that way, but sticking through it all and doing what God says do and He will handle is so worth it. I'll totally remember this week.
    It has been a kind of rough week with being in the word. Today's message really shot out at me, because my church is going through the new testament in 90 days and I have been trying to go through it with them, but at some point I decided that maybe I should do my own thing. That's not how God designed the church to opperate. We said we, as God's people, were going to do something together, so we, as God's people, ought to do this together. Though it's going to be rough following along with another plan for reading God's word, I believe He is going to grow me through the process. Lets face it. It's God's word, and it never returns void.
    If I could ask for prayer on anything, I'd ask that you pray for my hunger for God's word to be greater than my hunger for anything else. I've been having a rough time being hungry. Is it okay to admit that? I think people who don't admit these things are the ones who starve to death. I also lately have noticed my slipping into the world. I'm slipping into the pull of popularities gravity, and that's not where I want to be. I know God has empowered me to live a life holy and pleasing to Him. Pray for me on that.
