Well this is my second blog post and I already don't know what to write...:). I guess I will just say that God has really been showing me more about His love for us and what God is calling me to do. I was struck today in Junior High youth group about the life of Mary the mother of Jesus. It never occurred to me that her accepting the fact that she would have a baby without "outside" of marriage was an act of faith and love for God. She had to be willing to go through disgrace and rejection but she was willing to take the pain along with the blessing of her son changing the entire world forever.
I am seeing that God wants me to love those around me even if it costs me something and as you know it will. But I know that God is trustworthy and will lead me all the way. I don't always believe it but I know it is true. :)
There are possibly more opportunities with the youth group at my church in Julian. More and more have been coming over the last few weeks so who knows what this means but they are coming :). They need love and it is a really small town so there is not much to do. So you know what that can mean...trouble. Thanks for reading

I thought the same thing that night. I have always been motivated by the reality of Mary's story and wanted to be just like her. It is so nuts that she took on such a thing, and I am constantly learning to do the same thing she did... she trusted God with the details. He had to take of every aspect... He protected her from the punishment of death, He comforted her in rejection, He rewarded her faith, and blessed her obedience. Her life as the mother of Jesus wasn't easy, but she was more than willing (privileged) to be used by God.
