Japan

     Have you heard what happened to Japan?  The earthquake and tsunami did a lot of damage.  It is very sad and terrible is it not?  Plus with the nuclear explosions.  I mean that country has it tough right now.  And today I was complaining about how cold it is.  We need to remember that we have been blessed over and over and over again.  I was complaining about how cold it was, there are some people who watched there house sink in the tsunami waves.  We all need to remember that it could be worse.  It could always be a lot worse.  I mean can you imagine watching a huge wave just sweep over your house destroying all your belongings, and then have the nuclear explosion poison your air, all in a week? 
     I watched a video where people were all in a line infront of a pool.  But, then as you move away from the pool you see people making a line passing buckets of pool water to be used for bathing and flushing toilets.  The line was huge people across a parking lot and even farther back!  Would we do that.  When the most unthinkable happens would we show team work or would we just complain?  Complain and blaim God? 
     You know I have heard this question all the time, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" here is my answer, we are not good people.  No one is a good person.  All that goodness does not come from us, but from God.  All the bad stuff is us, it's the stuff that Satan has tempted us with and he won.  But God is good, everything He does is good.  So when you are complaining about not haveing good tasting food, or you are too cold remember this, it could be worse, much worse.

Crushes

Okay, so I'm sure you've had a crush before. Yep, I'm talking about that guy down the street or across the classroom. The persons name you write inside a heart right beside yours, the one where you wonder hmmm Mrs. so-and-so. I'm here to tell you that it's totally O.K.!!! God created you to be attracted to the opposite sex, the problem is when you don't stop thinking about him, when you think sexual thoughts, then it becomes bad, it becomes adultery. So, don't feel bad for crushing on some guy, as long a you don't take it overboard. Keep your heart pure for Mr. Right. Because I promise you it will be SO be worth it!

Just a encouraging thought for the day!   1 Timothy 4:12- Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, instead set an example for believers in faith, speech, life, love, purity.
