it's fall!! hooray! (well, sort-of) don't get me wrong, i love fall and all it has to offer...pretty colors, crunchy walks, back to school, back to youth group, football, football...it's pretty great. but then again it gets cold, i have to wear socks, it gets really busy, and it rains, sometimes a lot! when the seasons change i tend to try and find my favorite part of that change and focus on it (like football). but fall is always hard on me (well so is winter) mainly because i loooove being being warm. and when our warm, sunny days turn to cold, rainy ones it bums me out. sometimes i feel like faith is like that too. we like to focus on the warm, fuzzy feelings of being loved by God, being forgiven and tend to push our questions of doubt, disbelief, and tough duties to the back burner. it's easy to do! i know i'd rather think about being a child of God then loving that neighbor that really drives me nuts. it's easier to push aside tough questions of faith like why bad things happen than to answer them. it's easier to focus on God loves us even though we sin instead of trying not to sin and truly follow Him. we each in our own ways focus on the warm fuzzies truth instead of the cold and hard to explain. this year in youth group we will be attempting to discuss some tough topics. topics that sometimes make us feel uncomfortable and leave us tongue tied. this fall we will dive into some tough questions, read God's word, and encourage one another!
can't wait to see you all on a regular wednesday night basis!
