Random Things

Hello JAM Members,

God is so good, right? I love spending Wednesday at Terrace Manor. Each week - you amaze me more and more. God is using you as a light in an otherwise dark world. The residents love spending time with you. Jesus came to earth to serve and than to die for our sins. Each time we help someone else and show them God's love, we grow closer to Jesus and walk more in His footsteps.

What other ways can you serve the Lord? I can think of so many. We can serve the Lord everyday. Help your parents with the dishes or hold the door open for another person. You serve the Lord by praying and seeking His guidance for your life. I know this is the hardest thing for me is to put my own ideas about how things "should" work and really wait for and listen to God.

We have parent night next Wednesday. We will have subs, chips and soda. Your parents should receive an invitation in the mail today or tomorrow. Please encourage them to come to learn more about JAM.

And I thought I would post a couple of the pictures from our lock-in last summer. We had so much fun! I can't wait until we do it again.

Keep on serving and loving God!! Until we meet again ~ Abby

Crazy Love

Hello JAM!

I've been reading a book lately called Crazy Love. I am reading it with an online book club so I am only on Chapter 3, but it has moved me beyond belief. The biggest thing I have learned so far is that our God is BIG so BIG!! He created the earth and all that is on it, but more than that...he created all the galaxies and everything in between. He is so BIG.

So what, as followers of God do we have to do for this BIG God?? Simple, we have to love Him. We love Him by worshipping Him, praying, reading His Word, singing to Him, loving others and I could go on and on. I love Jesus and I love serving Him. This book reminded me how Big He really is. He created everything and even crazier is that He knew me before I was even created.

This BIG God loves you too. He loves you so much that He gave His Son so they you may have eternal life. I hope that you know Jesus and have asked Him into your heart. I pray that one day every knee will bow down to Him and every tongue will confess that Jesus is the almighty Savior. The lover of our souls - the guarantor of eternal life.

Take some time today to spend time with Him - tell Him your hopes and dreams, but listen too for Him to speak and show you His love.

We meet at Terrace Manor next Wednesday. Please be there by 6:00.

Blessings,

Abby
