Stepping Stones.

   God has been movin' me like crazy lately. And it's been Awesome! So I thought I should share a cool bit of encouragement..

   In this crazy thing called life we worry way to much. Most of the time though, the things we worry about are pointless. Even the bible says, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Mattew 6:27, yet we still do it. It seems to me that teenagers are the Worst at worrying. On a specific subject to. I'm sure you could guess it. Yep, the opposite sex. "O my gosh! Does he like me?" "Uh why is he talking to her!?" "Do you think she'd go out with me?" You get my point. It almost consumes all of our thoughts. Trust me, I know. But my friend told me this analogy the other day that completely changed my outlook on things. Hope it will for you too.
   Okay so picture this, there is this ginormous hill that you are climbing and it defines your life. When you were born you started climbing up this hill, toward heaven. On this hill are little stepping stones. Throughout your life you are constantly walking on these stones. Sometimes you fall, make mistakes, and maybe take a few steps backwards. But you keep going. Now everyone has these stepping stones in their life, right? So one day your just going up the hill, toward heaven and God and BAM! Someone else is now on your stepping stone. You weren't even paying attention. It just happened. Do you get what I'm saying? If you passionately go after God, taking the stepping stones of life, you will have no need to veer of the path and get all dirty to find "The One". He or She, will eventually be on the same stone that you're on. All you were doing was going after God. That Simple. God has a plan for you and your life. Why don't you just set your sights on Him? He will handle all the details.
