When God speaks he moves mountains

In my freshmen bible study this semester we are studing the book of Philippians.

This upcoming week (as in bible study tom night) we will be discussing Philippians 2
Our challenge for the week was to read through the begining of 2 and apply it to your life

Just so you know this is what the message reads for Philippians 2:1-4

If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.

So the last part of the passage is what has really been on my heart the last couple of day

Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourself long enough to lend a helping hand.

Since i've been in jacksonville i've gotten involved in BCM and have been plugged into a church yay for julianne right thats not what im trying to get. i feel that i'm not doing anything to help others, or putting myself aside. I opt out of doing things to hang out with my friends even though i feel as though i should be doing it. I just have this desire to do more with my faith then the surface things that i'm doing. I feel the need to do something more.

One thing that i found that i loved doing was being part of student ministry. It's something I took pride in, a place I wanted to be, and I enjoyed doing things that made it better.

I have felt several times that God's been calling to get involved with the student ministry at Chets.

So i took the first step in that and last night I sent an email to my college pastor at Chets just telling him I how feel and asking him how I go about getting involved with the student ministry and next thing you know I'm on the phone with the high school pastor and now I have a meeting with him and the middle school pastor tom at Chets.

Now i'm nervous, I've never met these men before and their gonna sit down with me and "grill" (for the lack there of a better word) about my Faith and ask me questions that i'm not gonna know what to say and just totally speak nonsense and screw up. But i'm gonna think positively because if this is something that God is leading me towards then I know that he'll lead me to whats best for me and give me the strenght, courage, and words to get through the meeting

to say the least I'm really excited about this and I hope I can find that something that God has been leading me towards

pray for me
