YouTH ALIVE!!!!

Hey everyone!


God really blessed me on thursday when i was given 6 tickets to go see YOUTH ALIVE for free!!!

This is an event that is put on every year by Paradise Community Church. It is sort of like a concert for young people, as we had Matt Corby, Stella Kart and a visiting preacher from united states named Preston.... ummm i can't remember his last name!

I was really blessed during that night because it was great to see a young generation of people excited for God. It was great to see young people getting into the praise and worship music. It was AWESOME to see around 50-60 kids get saved that day!


I think for me a couple of things i took back.

1) Hope and belief that God can replicate what is happening in paradise church to other churches when people give their lives for Gospel.

2) That australia's youth is not completely lost yet. That just like every other person/generation on earth, they are hungry for the truth and hungry for God.


Keep praying, keep trusting!

God's Goodness

I really love God.


It's strange, but every once in a while, (well more than once in a while) God reminds me just how much I need Him. He doesn't do it in some guilt ridden way, but rather He speaks to my heart, and reminds me how much He loves me and the wonderful things He has planned for me.

I was reflecting on the recent events with Michael Guglielmucci and I know it's really tragic what happened, but I was also thinking. What would it be like, if there was no such thing as a forgiving and loving God. Praise the lord that when we do make mistakes, and we all do, that we can come back to God, lay it at His feet, and He'll forgive us and make us new.

It says in the bible that 'the goodness of God leads us to repentence'


I believe that when we see how much we are loved, how much we can trust God, how everything in our lives God can use for our good. We can approach the throne of God and rest in His love.
