“My encouragement to you on this important birthday is to work hard. That doesn’t sound very inspiring does it? But I mean it. The teenage years are years packed with potential—potential to grow in wisdom, to develop practical skills and abilities, to deepen your relationship with God, to study and learn. These years are the launching pad of your life. And they’re also the years that are most easily wasted. The world will tell you that these are the years to coast, to have a good time, to take it easy, to live off the faith of your parents. Don’t buy that lie. Press ahead. Push yourself. Train yourself for godliness. Even now prepare yourself to be a godly man, a godly husband and godly father. As my younger brothers, Alex and Brett like to say, use these years to “Do Hard Things.” “

Maybe the reason so many in their 20’s have settled into “play” is because they didn’t walk faithfully as a teen, redeeming the time….

Makes it lonely for those of us who would rather spend our time investing in eternity.  I can’t understand it…but then I am so blessed to have grown up in a family that put God at the center.  I can’t ever remember a time when God was not a part of my life.   How I wish I was more faithful!

One of the things I tell my girls in my Discipleship group I teach is that no matter how old or young we are God has a special purpose for each of us…and we have a responsibility to live like daughters (or sons!) of the King!!!!

That last paragraph is Great Jarod! The potential for what God will do with even one person…wow. Never underestimate what He does, even if it doesn’t “look” amazing to the world…I think the small things (a kind word, an extra hand, a hug etc.) do more than so many “big” things.

God bless you as you make a difference for Him in big and little ways

I think I can guess who it was. I suppose she is right. I am my own best illustration of what not to do. Just because I preach the truth doesn’t mean I live it all the time. But that doesn’t change the Truth from being what it is.   I’m glad God is patient, especially with us immature ones.

“I skimmed over Jarod’s blog.  I got tickled about one he wrote about people maturing.  He wondered why people wanted to hold on to the teenage years and the immature way they act.  Then I saw his pictures…..the toilet seats on the bench.  He’s kidding right ?!
Was he trying to prove his own point?”
 
HA ha hee hee hee!
