"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick" Luke 5:31

So I slept in today and did not go to church :(
no one woke me up but my mom says she did...who knows?!

I ended up waking up at 12:15pm haha. I ate some breakfast and watched some tv with my mom. We had plans to go see Get Smart today in the theaters but the car would not start so we changed our plans.

I was looking through movies to watch and i came across "The Lion King" gah I could not pass that up. We watched it..so good! It still makes me cry when the dad dies.. I don't think I've ever not cried at that part. Overall it made me really happy because it brought back the days when I was young!
After the movie I got ready and went to a work party/meeting. They fed us dinner and then we talked about improvements we need to make as DSW employes..blah blah blah haha!

I got to talk to my future roomie today on facebook! I actually know her through some people I knew back in high school.. crazyy!

I then got a call from Jen (my sister). It was good talking to her I miss her a lot :(. She told me how Bartley (my bro-in-law) preached 3 services today!! She told me that his sermon was on itunes so I decided to listen to it..
SO GOOD..it was all about relational evangelism which is basically the whole idea of Young Life. He was saying that many of us only talk to people who know Jesus because we are scared of becoming friends with people who don't..but those are the people Jesus calls us to love
"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" Luke 5:31-32. Throughout the sermon I kept thinking about how I always want to be "comfortable" and God does not call us to that. We should be seeking people who don't know Jesus, forming relationships with them and loving them! It got me really excited for Young Life also..God is going to do amazing things through my team at AGHS and I can not wait for it to happen!

ooooh. I just came across that verse in my devotional two nights ago. its so true and we constantly have to remind ourselves to step out and to love on those that need it most.
