"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." ~Hebrews 12:2

Clinton Junior High Overnight Rally
May 2-3

Emily Perce and I (Kristel) joined a group from Milford for this event. We had a great time. The topic of the weekend was about praying without ceasing. We were challenged to have a correct view of God when we pray to Him, to be honest and vulernable during our prayer time and to pray at all times.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

As I read these verses, I realize that Paul is writing about a lifestyle of joy, of prayer and of giving thanks. These things don't just happen during Sunday or before we eat; these things happen because it becomes a lifestyle for us. A lifestyle that is lived through Jesus.
