Weekly bible talk week 6 perseverance

So this week at church a man named Jeffery, from another church came and lead the service. Jeffery and Pastor Brandon are very good friends and Jeffery's is that pastor at another church and when our church Canyon Creek was first starting 10 years ago, Jeffery seeded in our church. So pastor Brandon had Jeffery come and speak for the service and he talked about how life is a lot like learning to ride a bike. Sometimes you are going to crash and get hurt but it is your choice whether or not to get back up and keep trying; but I can assure you that if you quit now, your going to be quitting every day for the rest of your life. Some of you might be like "What does she mean by that?" that means that if you give up now you are just going to stop trying. Maybe that means with your work if you think it is too hard or your school, maybe you think people are mean and its just too difficult and you just want to give up, but if you give up now you are never going to be able to be motivated enough to get back on that bike and keep riding. As people sometimes we tend to isolate ourselves from other people; we want to be able to do things on our own without other people helping us. We all need to learn that it is alright to accept a little boost, in fact it is important. You are the person riding the bike but god is the one behind you giving you a little boost when you need it and the one in front of you to help you up once you have fallen. If you have something in your life that you feel like you just cant do it anymore it is too hard or you feel as if the peddles are going to fast and your feet are slipping off them, Email me honestly I am here for you I would love to talk to you about it and help you through any problems you might have. My email is Michaelaw98@gmail.com. Life sometimes is not easy but don't give up get back on that bike and keep trying. One of the last things Jeffery said before he ended the service was " who brought you to come to know Jesus?" This almost made me cry because immediately I thought of my mom. I know I can always turn to her if I need a prayer or even if I just need a friend to talk to. My mom is my best friend in the entire world but honestly sometimes I find it hard to bring myself to talk her about certain things (mostly about boys). I don't know why this is because she has always been there for me and she understands because she has been through high school and shes a girl. I realized I have been living my life in fear of what she might say or think and that's not alright I should be valuing my mother's opinion instead of fearing it. I am working on that because I love my mom and I want her to know that and I want to be able to share anything with her and I am getting there. I want you all to think about who first introduced you to Jesus Christ and I want you to email, text, twitter, or facebook message them and just tell them thank you.
