THREE Gs

The "Three G's". I call it: Giving, Growth, and God.


Before youth group began, I spent some alone time with God while the leaders were out and gave me the whole room to myself. In that time of talking with him and reading out of the books I'm currently reading (Bible and Crazy Love), I realized that I need to stop saying I'm gonna give him my all and just do it. I've already seen a few changes in me happen as I'm growing in GOD. But I want to give more of me to Him than I ever have! That is how I came up with the "three G's."

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. - Matthew 16:24

During these past couple of weeks, I have learned even more than one could learn their whole lifetime! Jesus said that if we want to be his follower, leave all we have of our old life behind us and just follow him. This verse keeps popping up in my head and just everywhere I turn! IN FACT, today I realized I'm ready to take rocks out of my life to spend some time alone with God and making him the first priority in my life. Loving him means that I'm gonna do what I have to do to give all my heart to him. Which is why it was really hard for me to end my relationship with my long term boyfriend, Alex. He taught me a lot in the relationship I had with him, but right now God has something else in mind for each of us individually.

As hard as it will be, I'm anxiously excited to see what God is gonna have next for me to do. I'm not anxious in a way that I'm worried, I'm more of just really excited that God is gonna do great things in my life. And because I'm giving my all to God, I'll be storing up my treasures in heaven and not here on earth.



God, thank you for always loving me even when I don't deserve it. You are always so patient with me and are there with open arms. I'm ready to do the work of your will for me and do it with pure love and joy through your holy spirit in me. As tears are flowing down right now, I have this big smile on my face because I know that I'm gonna get to spend eternity with you and that you are gonna do great things in this community. I pray that you will use me and the gifts you have blessed me with you serve others and to love the ones I may have trouble loving some time in my life. I also pray that whoever is reading this and praying along with me will open up their hearts to you and recommit or give their all to you too. Please bless them and continuously work on all of our hearts. You are wonderful, father. I am pleased to have a life that is rooted in you. In your holy name I pray, Amen.
