How God encourages...

I have been reading in Jeremiah, now. Lately, I just have been reading the Bible because of a few reasons: One, because it is good to get poured into and read God's words..that's God's book of Truth! Two, because I find so much comfort in it and it helps me get through this semester, and Three, because I want to read something during the shows to make them go fast because I have seen Dare To Move 18 million times! (Just being honest) Anyways, Jeremiah is known as the "weeping prophet" because he had so much compassion and empathy for Jerusalem and Judah who turned away from God. Jeremiah tells the people of Israel that if they do not turn to their God and repent, God will destroy them. Well, the selfish people we are, they don't listen to Jeremiah. In fact, they plot to kill him. Jeremiah, talks to God about why they are doing this and that this is hard. Ok, right there, I can somewhat relate to Jeremiah. I mean, I know I'm not most likely to die during this job, nor do I have anyone plotting to kill me that I know of, but it can be really discouraging, sad, hard, when you see people everyday that do not know the Lord nor wish to follow Him. Maybe I"m the "weeping tech". LOL. I just go to these schools all the time, hoping that I will have an encounter and SOO bad I just want to say in that microphone "JESUS LOVES YOU! Come to Him for eternal life, which is life that is way better than this one! you will live forever, you have life even after death! What a reward and privilege it is to follow our Lord! How you will experience His unfailing love!" Something like that. Reading in Jeremiah, just has given me hope and comfort to know, that I am going somewhere with God. That though, there may not be a response, I'm making myself available to the lost. So so so, this is the good part! Today, another tech, Kelly, and I went to a school in Hollywood and well it was the same school that they film Glee! Ugh, so you could imagine how excited I was! I got to see the gym and football field where they film the shots! Also the steps where they sang "Empire state of mind"! So cool! Well, anyways, today I just told the kids that, "You are worth something! You're life you are living is worth it!" and I invited anyone who wanted to talk to come! So, this high school girl came over to me and told me that her cousin died 4 years ago and has not seen the grave. There is a scene in Dare To Move (the show we put on) that a kid goes to visit his brother's grave. She asked if she could go and see it. I told her that if that is something she needs to do in order to help cope, then yes. However, inside of me, I wanted to tell her about God, how He is the God of all comfort! So I said it! I said something like, "Well, I am in a Christian and the God I serve comforts me anytime and especially with these types of things. We don't know why things happen sometimes, but I know I can find hope and trust in Jesus. He totally understands and he can help you! I will pray for you and I encourage you to pray as well to Him. He will listen and help you!" She said that she is a Christian but wasn't sure if her cousin was and I said, "Well, God is the ultimate judge. Wherever your cousin is, you have to move on with your life..and God will help you." I said some other things that I can't remember and I probably repeated myself because I got really nervous, but it was SOOO cool!! I just praised the Lord that I had an opportunity to speak His name! Jesus rocks you guys! I just love Him so much!! More and more He reveals Himself to me. He is the Love of my life!
