Kind Words

So sorry it has been awhile since I have posted. It has kind of been crazy here with the end of the semester so close! (Crazy Right!!) I am almost there and it is almost summer!!!

Anyway yesterday was my last day with my kindergartners. I made them little baggies of candy and a little toy. I also put a note in their that said you are awesome and to continue being a good student. They all loved the note!! They then continued to say that I am so awesome. Just saying that one word changed their attitudes and mine. It makes you feel so awesome that you can change their day by just using one word.

Proverbs 15:1-  A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

This verse is so true in our everyday life. Think about it when you get a complement it can make your day so much better. If you were mad more then likely they got you to smile. This is so important we are called to lift other people up not tear them down! I challenge you to give a random compliment to some one or just say your awesome. This may make their day or week. You never know how the words you say can change the people around you.

What do you do now that easter is over?

Hey everyone! I am sorry i have not written in a while it has been crazy busy with Easter, exams, papers, and projects! I guess this is life of a college student right!!! hahaha

So Easter was this past weekend. It is the main point in Christianity! Christ is risen! But what do we do now that it is all over....
I was encouraged by my church on campus and my church at home to invite people to come on Sunday. Well my church at home was supper crowded they even had to add seats and my church on campus was in the same boat. So how come Easter is the largest day for people to come. It makes me wonder do we actually have a part in this
I think we do! we invited people we took that step of faith to see where it would go! We are called to go be disciples of God. This means invite people, follow up with people, don't lose contact just because Easter is over. 
So you did your part on inviting them to church on Easter but now you should check up on those people see if they liked it, see if they want to come again!! Help them to continue to grow in their faith!
Just because Easter is over doesn't mean our job is done as Christians! We have to continue to be that light for others.
 So I encourage you to keep inviting people to church lets fill the churches again! Why does it only have to be a once a year thing!
