I gotch yo back!

So God has really been speaking to me lately about worry. I just started
school, and I take a "Colledge Career Planning" class. BUT, I go to a Christian
school, so in this class, the teacher opened up by reading this scripture:

"There for I tell you, do not worry about your life-what you will eat or drink;or about your body or about what you wear. Is life not more important than food,and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air-they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the feilds grow? They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the feild-which is here today and tomorrow thrown into the fire-will he not much more clothe you, Oh you of little faith? So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat or drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after these things, and your heavenly Father knows you need them. But seek first his Kingdom and Righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well. Therefor, do not worry about tommorow, for tommorow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
(Matthew 6:25-34)





So I thought about it and was like "Well...that's a good verse...okay." And left the class and didn't think much about it. So this morning, I thought, "Man-I really need to start reading my Bible again. I've slacked alot." So I searched and searched for my Bible...and could'nt find it. (Turns out, it was in my locker...ANYways...) So I was like "Bible...Bible...Ah HA!" I found a devotional book that my friend had given me for my thirteenth birthday (which was awhile back). I had only used it like maybe 6 times. So I opened it up to the next devotion, and guess what the verse was? "Look at the birds of the air. They don't sow or reap or store away in barns, but your heavenly father feeds them." So I was like "Wow, God, you must really be wanting me to not worry."
I'm kinda the weird kid at my school, and so sometimes I say th is little phrase I made up. People will say "Ar eyou SURE about this?" And I smile and say "Hey! I gotch you back!" now...remember that,because I'll use it...
So between school, friends, family, relationships, sports, and whatever else you do in your life, it can get kinda stressful. But God just says "Hey-I gotch yo back!" People will let you down. Friends will let you down. Family will let you down. Hey, even Batman let down his true love! (Remember that?! In the Dark Knight?! I really like Batman, so if I make random comments about it...well...it's just how i roll. Okay....anyways...) Everybody has faults, and will mess up. But God has GOTCH YO BACK! Tthink about the verse i used earlier. Iit's true. Birds never die of starvation, and the flowers are never naked! So if God takes care of such small things, then of COURSE he'll take care of you! He loves you SO much more than birds and flowers!
My grandpa has this toy fish thing, and if you push the button, it sings this little song. It goes "Don't worry (doo-doo! Doo-doo!) Be happy! (Doo-doo! Doo-doo!) Don't worry be happy..." And I think that's how our life rolls when we give it up to God. And no-giving your life up to God isn't a bad thing. It's actually kinda relaxing, thinking "Hey...i don't have to worry about this. God has it under control." And he won't fail you. Like Batman. An dyou wan tproof? Have YOU ever seen a naked flower?!

I got the Joy joy joy joy Down in my heart!

Did you ever sing that song as a kids? You know "I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart! Down in my heart! Down in my heart! I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart! Down in my heart to stay!" I know I did. But I just got back from church camp, so I wanna tell you guys what happened. If you wanna deny it...well that's okay, cause I know this is real and of God-if you don't, then that's fine.
So at this camp, I got filled with a supernatural joy of God. I know I have mentioned my testimony before, and I think one of these days, I'll make a blog of all the details..but ANYWAYS...I've been depressed before, and so joy holds kinda a special place in my heart. While I was at camp, God filled me up with a joy and laughter-it was amazing. So what I want to say is that no matter what point in your life that your in, God will always fill you with joy. Even when you think that you have ALL the joy and happiness you can handle, God always has MORE in-store for you! Job 8:21 says "HE (God) will FILL your nouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of JOY!"
So wherever you are in your life-depressed, happy, or doin just fine-just ask God for more, cause he'll always give it to you! :)
