God has given us this amazing opportunity for next year, and we have the faith and trust of those who are a lot higher up than us. They are handing us this gift of creating something that will, hopefully, be here for many years after we graduate. God would not give all of this to us if He knew we wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Even those who are young grow weak; young people can fall exhausted. But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak."
~Isaiah 40:30-31

We are on the right path. We are doing what He wants us to do. I truly believe this. My whole life has been guided by going through the easily opened doors that God opened for me. If a door is shut or if I need to work hard to open it, it isn't worth the work in the end because He didn't want me to go through that door in the first place. Looking back I wished that I didn't try so hard to open that door that was slammed shut. It was exhausting and not worth it. This door or doors that God has guided us to, are WIDE open. There is a reason for this.

We have Him and each other. This is a team. This isn't just me or you. It's all of us together. These amazing things that we are going to be doing, and are already doing, are not something that one person can do by

    and you just want to give up. There have been times when I have questioned why God would do this to me. Is there really a reason behind all this madness? I have learned that God does not want us to fail; rather the devil wants us to fall into temptation. I am taking away the lesson that God…

    You can do nothing about it. You, on the other hand, will be unlucky, but you can do nothing about that either. Each man finds his way already marked out for him and he can change nothing of it" (Niane 15). God sets man on specific paths; His motivations are a mystery. Mankind, in the face of the mightiness of God, is inferior.…

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    As the Scriptures prove, we are only men. We may think within ourselves that we have all the faith in the world and that nothing or no one can shake our resolve. But just like Peter, sometimes we don’t truly know how strong we are until we are forced to undergo a trial by fire. No matter how good and upright we may think we are, we need to be nourished by God’s word. Without the influence of God’s divine righteousness, our fallible mortal spiritual compasses are not nearly sufficient enough to keep us on course.…

    It’s true that fate works in ways that humanity can’t comprehend. Whether it’s by the actions of God, or if it’s simply meant to be.

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
