The Inescapable Cravings of Your Heart | Spiritual Fuel

 Whoa! I just had to share this devotional I subscribe to with everyone. I hope it speaks to you the way it did me!

I was fully planning on Job Searching today....

But, as i was checking  my email, I kept getting Facebook Messages concerning meetings & Information regarding  The Warehouse, my church's Youth ministry.

I really love serving as a youth leader for the Warehouse,but, because of some stuff I felt i needed to get worked out here my own family, I have taken a break from serving there temporarily.

As I am reading the messages, I am Feeling such a strong desire, a burden, longing to be involved in ministering to the Youth, but , at the same time a heaviness, because I know that i am suppose to be taking a break to deal with things here at home.

I have felt that I need to continue to deal with things but, I felt the need to be involved in some training comming up, as well as  a festival coming up. With my Kids permission of course. ;)  ( Thanks my wonderful friends that love me enough to hold me accountable! )

Then, I read this devotional.

It really encouraged me that even though I was not involved with the Youth right now, that the desire for it was not going to go away, and that by putting MY kids first, it was honoring him more than if i just did what I wanted to do anyway.

Obedience

This the word that is coming to mind as I write this post.

(this is my Desire)

Also, a Scripture Verse comes to mind.

James 4:10  (NLT)

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.



(This is my Challenge)

I am ready willing & able to meet it!

Life Bridge Student Ministries

Life Bridge Student Ministries

This is The Warehouse, The Youth Ministry of LifeBridge Church.

I can honestly say that Being a Youth Leader in this Youth Group is one of my favorite things.

The Warehouse is Led by an awesome couple. Their Names are Aaron & Cecily Jackson & they Totally have a Gift & and a Heart for Youth! As a Parent I am SO Blessed to have them to speak into my kids lives!

The Warehouse is all about equipping Students to be passionate followers Christ.

I really enjoy serving along side the Youth Pastor, and the other Leaders, whether or not we having a crazy time, or Serving others Its all the same!
