Hey Pastor John!<\/span><\/p>\n

I had a very good experience the other week.\u00a0\u00a0On Wednesdays we have to go to chapel during school,\u00a0and as I was sitting there I was realizing how valuable what we are being taught is!\u00a0\u00a0I have always known that it is a privilege\u00a0to have what we have,\u00a0and you and all the saints,\u00a0but Jesus really showed me how valuable it was.\u00a0\u00a0The speaker at our school chapel was saying some things that I knew were wrong,\u00a0and then I started to think about how happy I was to know that they were wrong.\u00a0\u00a0It filled me with so much joy for us that Jesus has shown us so much,\u00a0but then it changed into a prayer for all those students and people sitting there that don’t know the truth.\u00a0\u00a0What we have is so valuable\u00a0and precious, I never want to take it for granted!<\/span><\/p>\n

Something else happened that really encouraged me too!\u00a0\u00a0About two weeks ago,\u00a0I was so overwhelmed with everything going on and I really lost my peace.\u00a0\u00a0I remembered a few days ago that during or around one of those very overwhelming\u00a0days,\u00a0I was talking to Jesus and just asked him to give me his joy and peace throughout this crazy week.\u00a0\u00a0I was thinking about that on Wednesday night,\u00a0and I was thinking how much peace and joy I had, and Jesus had been my first priority.\u00a0\u00a0It was a busy week,\u00a0but it showed me even when everything is chaotic,\u00a0we can still have joy, peace, and Jesus as our center!\u00a0\u00a0It showed me that if we keep Jesus first and ask him to help us, He will!\u00a0\u00a0It was such a small thing but it was so encouraging!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to get this out because I was thinking about all of this tonight!<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
