Only the Best

Isaiah 55:2 "Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best, fill yourself with only the finest.."

School is getting really close. That makes me kind of sad. It takes me away from being around people who mean the most to me and it can even take me away from church sometimes.

Being away from those people of influence is going to be hard. I've really grown a lot this summer and developed meaningful relationships with some amazing people at First Assembly. They're the ones who hold me up and keep me accountable. That being said, I have to work harder to fill myself with only the best- not settling for mediocrity with Christ or in any part of my life but giving my all.

School gives so many temptations to lie, slack off, gossip, and even say the wrong things. I can't let it hold me back. I have to let my light shine; be genuine and let others see why I'm so different. I have to let people know that life is so much better with Jesus.

So that's my challenge for this school year: Be me and show Jesus. more than I have before. I hope you join me in the effort.
