Lead!

Well last night I was back at youth, missing one week seems like a lot longer! We had a great night last night! We had an awesome time in worship, great game... GO MARIKA!... and we just had a great time hanging out together.

Pastor Matt had come to my rescue last night so that it wasn't just a big Kelsey show, Matt was our speaker last night. As we continued in our sermon series on lead, Matt began to share with us the story of David and King Saul. Matt did a great job! He made us laugh, he made us think and he was real as he shared stories from his own life experience! Thanks so much Matt.

But it all got me thinking about how many times I could have made better choices if I would have just lead my emotions better! Even yesterday I was mad at the photocopier and Pastor Scott came by and said " Kels the photocopier doesn't make you angry!" we had a good laugh but it's so true how over the small stuff we can just let it fly. The big stuff well we see that coming, but the little things that make us upset, or the words someone says or the action they do that we don't agree with. I was challenged once again to truly believe that God is in control. He is is control of me and of others. What others do and even what things do should not effect my emotions so much that it changes my day, my head space of even my attitude.

May the little things that challenge us today not get the best of us.. even photocopiers and bunny ears! :P

Hey girl! Keep up the blogging... I love to hear how things are going with you. Glad to hear you're keeping busy while Jason is hunting. Jake is actually going hunting this weekend too. I'm not a fan of being home alone. We'll have to invite some people over. Anyway, have a good week and I'll see you around Christmas! love!
