Hey guys! Well, this week has been goin great! A lot of football practice and stuff going on. But yeah...I hope everything is awesome with you! I just wanted to share something I read in my devotions a couple of days ago that I thought was awesome!

Lights on a Hillside

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”- Matthew 5:16

"The basic purpose for living is to glorify our Father in heaven. We who believe in Him are lights on a hillside, seen from a distance. We are to cast vision, give warmth, and show a better way to those living in darkness. In short, God instructs us to shine. How do we do that?

Encourage instead of criticize. Love instead of hate. Hope instead of doubt. Give instead of take. Trust instead of worry.

We open our hearts to others so they will be prompted to open their hearts to God. Encouragement, love, hope, generosity, and trust are all gifts of God by the work of His Spirit. They don't spring from our humanity; they spring from his grace. God gives the light. He uses us to show the way. And He is glorified.- Luci Swindoll, Women of Faith Devotional Bible"

Think about that a bit and then think about how you can use that with school coming up...Great stuff....I love it.. I hope you are having a great week! God Bless!
