Posted Note

Have you ever had one of those dreams where you know your dreaming. You actually tell yourself this is only a dream "Wake Up!" I had the weirdest dream, really there was so much going on it was hard for me to figure out just what actually went on. Well I ended up waking up aroud 6:30 am which never happens to me, I'm not a morning person at all. As I laid awake I had a thought that popped into my head. I kept on trying to fall back to sleep but I couldn't, so I figured this must be something that God placed on my heart for a reason. So I got my journal out.

The past week I've been very burdened for the students of Faze who have fallen away from a relationship with God. As i journeled during the week I kept on asking God why? Why does this keep on happening to so many students who have a strong relationship with God.
That brought me to the thought of a posted note. I know what your thinking "this is a weird thought" Thats what I was thinking as I wrote this all out in my journal. Our relationship with God is like a posted note. The sticky part represents our relationship with God and the bottom part represents all the distractions in our lives. When we are distracting by the things of this world we are putting our "posted note" on so many different things. Before we know it the sticky part, which is our relationship with God loses its stickyness and before we know it we fall! I think this not only applies to our students and why they fall away from a relationship with God but it applies to everyone. The more the enemy can distract us from serving God with our whole heart, the more we grow further away from God. This thought that God put on my heart challeneged me to contiune to check myself and make sure I'm not being distracted by the things that might cause me to grow away from God. It's a daily battle to fight for our relationships with God. Be with His strength and power we can do it.
Phil. 4:13
I can do ALL things through Him who gives me strength.
