Reflection of 2009: A Year To Remember

WOW!!! I cant believe that another year has gone by. The year 2009 was a year of growth and development for me. I have overcomed challenges that really streched me not only physically but spiritually. God has challenged allot this past year. He told me to not worry about towmorrow. I just need to go out and DO HIS WORK!! God has given me strength to overcome strongholds. Strongholds that I was bounded to for years. God is an amazing God. What was really cool about this year was the amazing Missions trip we made to Osage. That week was one of the best weeks of my life. God told me my calling in life. To be a Missionary to India! The time that I spent with God and the group really made me strong. As the school year approached, I realized that I was not going to be able to be with my youth group while at school.
As school took session, God placed many opportunities for me to make Him known. Many times I had theological arguments with students and teachers about their opinion about Christianity. I learned that God has me at this school for a reason. Even though I complain about all the lost people, I know that my work is not in vain. They are noticing my difference. God has been faithful to me when I did not think it was possible to accomplish this objective. However, with God on my side he was able to provide $1,225.00 for missions in just TWO WEEKS!! This was a time were God had me to have faith in His abilities and not doubt. This year was an also a time of learning from mistakes.
In the beginning of the summer, God told me not to date, however, I did it out of my own will. As time progressed I became guilty. God had to get my attention span focus on Him in order to prepare me for future events. After analyzing my situation, I have came to a conclusion that dating is a WAISTE OF YOUR TIME (No dating in Highschool, unless God says okay). It just a bunch of emotions being waisted. I wish that I would have listened to God and not have done what I wanted.
Overall, even though our nation has been through alot of turmoils, I feel that the year 2009 was a great year! I can't wait to see whats in store for 2010! Im GOING ALL IN FOR GOD!!
