Stress!
It is without a doubt the most handicapping element of the teenagers life. Stress about school, parents, jobs, friends, relationships, college, etc. Everyone faces it and few deal with it properly. So how are we supposed to deal with stress?
The Bible says that we are not supposed to worry but "Seek first the kingdom of God...Matt 6:33" Can we really say that we seek first what God wants in our lives.

I think if we did this more we would probably have less stress. Our lives would not be filled with thinking about what will happen to us, but we will focus more on others and sharing Christ with others.

We just need to refocus our minds and thoughts to things of God...He will handel the rest!!

Hey Guys.
I'm pumped about the next couple of weeks. We've got a lot going on. Pray for Wendy and I as we get ready to move our stuff from our old house to the new house. Soon we'll be having parties over there!!

Easter Sunday there is NO Student Church. There isn't any evening church on Easter Sunday. We will pick it up on Sunday April 19th. We'll start a study in the book of Romans. This is an awesome book that deals with the teaching to Christians from one of the most knowledgable christians of all time. We'll make it simple and easy to apply. Come on out to check it out.

The ski trip was an awesome experience to get to know more students from Friendly. This youth ministry is teaching me all about what it means to be a student in todays culture. Some of the struggles and burdens our teens face in 2009 are harder than what a lot of adults face on an everyday basis.
Anytime you face a struggle don't forget what Psalm 1 says. Its talking about a person who loves God: "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."
This is all about knowing that hard times will come. Hard times will come. But God has aleady planted you deep in Him.
Try to rely on Him even in the hard times.
