What We Want You to Know
Students. Faith + Swagger. We're just a group of students trying to figure it all out.
I look forward to seeing my grandpa in heaven. He was a great man and he loved the Lord. He was a carpenter and he loved racing. We were at the race track almost every Saturday. He also liked fishing. He died when he was 73 and when he died the grandfather clock stopped working.
My grandpa had big glasses and was bald with a mustache and sometimes he would grow out his beard near Christmas to play Santa. He liked to wear either a hat or bandana. My grandpa and grandma had six kids. When they were young they went to church he was involved in it. When his kids were grown he started to have financial and health problems and drifted away from the Lord. He quit going to church. He knew he was gonna die so he moved his truck and told us he didn't want his stuff to be a burden on us. The Sunday before he died he wanted to go to church and make things right with the Lord. That Wednesday he died and at his funeral they put a checked flag on his casket because he liked racing. My mom said that she believed the flag meant he finished the race because he came back to the Lord. In heaven I would want to go fishing with my grandpa or go racing. There is not pain in heaven, so I would want to go all out, knowing we wouldn't get hurt. I know my grandpa will be in heaven.

Worship to me is just blasting loud Christian music and singing and dancing. It can be just hanging out with my friends talking about the Lord and going to a concert. I am eager to worship sometimes and why is because sometimes I don't like how some people worship and when I don't like it I just kinda sit down and don't talk. But when I do like it I get up and sing along.
What I would need to change about my life is the way I act and do stuff outside of church because I am not the same girl that was just smiling and singing and having fun. Another thing I need to change is my attitude because I don't have the ability to control my emotions... like the littlest things could just change how my personality is. My confidence level needs to change. I have zero confidence in myself and if I don't change those things I don't think I will have a strong relationship with the Lord. Worship is giving God the best that he has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to him... a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard it for yourself it will turn into spiritual dry rot, like the manna did when the people hoarded it. God will never allow you to keep a spiritual blessing completely for yourself. It must be given back to him so that he can make it a blessing to others. About two years ago my dad fell off our roof. he was just becoming a believer. He was on the porch roof part of our house which was about 15 ft. and he was power washing the side of our house.
My cousin, my niece and I were in my bedroom and my dad was right outside my window. As soon as I heard him fall I ran to the window and looked out. I threw everything that was in my hands to the floor and ran downstairs and outside to him. My cousin and niece got my sister to help. My mom had just left, so I called her. Somebody else called 9-11. I had forgotten my other sister was home, so I got her. By that time my mom was home and the ambulance had gotten there. He only broke his femur and busted his lip. Through all of it he grew closer to God. |
