God has been so good. I’ve been growing in my walk with Christ like crazy out here, and I know it’s because of the people around me. As I’ve been growing, I’ve also had many opportunities with the Youth Group and Church. I wanted to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a 14-year-old, I have learned what my ministry<\/strong> is out here. First, our Sunday School, every first Sunday of the Month, does something called the cookie ministry. We pick a family that is new, or just in a hard season, and give them cookies along with a card to encourage them. I try to take that ministry a little farther, for myself, and I bring my neighbors or just people I know from church, cookies or brownies and just encourage them. God has used that in a cool way. Second, I’ve had some really amazing opportunities to lead with my parents during worship, to lead worship at evening services, and to speak whenever the Youth does a youth lead service. And lastly, I’m starting up a new ministry. I know I’m going to be busy this next year, with babysitting and school, but I want to take time to acknowlege those who support us by sending letters to a certain person, or couple, every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is my ministry. But I also have an online ministry<\/strong> too. I have a YouTube channel called “Emily Beth”<\/a> and I have a blog called “Knowhistruth” on wordpress<\/a>. These cites are mainly to bring glory to God, and every now and then I use them to give updates about my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, that’s it. That’s what I’ve been able to do these past years and I know there will be so many other opportunites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ways that you can be praying for me are:<\/strong>
* Babysitting every Monday and Tuesday (this school year) and handling school on top of that.
* My YouTube and Blog ministry:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That I’ll keep my content focused on God and that I’ll get more into a regular posting schedule. That I’ll get more followers so that more will hear the Gospel.
* My ministry here:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That I’ll remember why I’m doing the things I’m doing. That I won’t stray into what the world wants me to do and instead that I’ll be a good influence to those younger than me.
* and lastly, my relationship with Christ:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That I’ll learn more than I ever have, this year, and grow more in why I believe what I believe, and how to act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
