My commitment

As a parent, I commit to praying faithfully for the spritual growth of my children. I will praise God for the growth I see, and affirm and encourage my kids as I see them living up to their commitments. I will resist the temptation to hold their commitments to God over their heads or nag them when they miss the mark. I will trust the Holy Spirit to be their "reminder" in the commitments that are between them and God.

Emily Cashion

My commitment

God, I'm gonna go all in. Full time, everyday. I want to just flip inside out, and let the world see You in me. I need you to make me beautiful in ways that are beyond makeup and hairdos. Fill me, not only with Your love, but also your grace. Help me keep my eyes open to you, so I can act as You want me to. I pray that you'll take my words away sometimes so all I can do to witness is show your grace. Blow me away, and place me in Your plans.

I love you, Jesus,

Hallie Odell

My commitment

God, I am commiting to leading more people to Christ. I know that is a struggle for me because I really don't like talking to other people about my faith. I guess because I think they would judge me. I am willing to get over it for You, God. I know this is probably a little thing, but it's big for me.

Lindsey Walton

My commitment

I want to being in the word every day. The past two weeks, God has really shown me that the Bible is really His love letter to me. God is love and He cannot act outside of love. Everything He does and everything He says is out of love. Keeping that in mind while I read has really made His Word come alive.

Katie Odell

My commitment

My purpose is not finished yet. I commit to tell the gospel to as many people as possible.I don't want to leave this earth until I finish the purpose for which God created me. We live like slaves here, but we're really millionaires. The bank is in Heaven. My treasure lies there. I'm going to put my perspective and time in focusing on the real thing: God and Heaven. Also I want to learn to trust God and serve everywhere God calls me to. I'm not going to do a half-completed job....ever. Amen, amen, AMEN!

Ashely Wilkinson

My commitment

This year I am committing to reaching out more to people. I will offer service to those in need. this year I'm going to try and stop focusing on my wants and desires and put Your will above it all.

Amanda Nash

My commitment

I will commit to God that I will change my "people pleasing" personality (which is the main reason why I'm uncomfortable sharing my faith because I don't like to offend people), I won't change who I am, but I will realize that more than half of the people in my life are going to hell, so I need to get over my own fears to plant seeds and help them learn the Word.

Leah Sims

Mery Yanez

My committment

I, Garrett Haywood, commit to giving my best effort to be as much like Christ as possible in my 9th grade year because high school presents so many new challenges that one specific commitment wouldn't help me through it.

My committment

I will commit to serving God for my 9th grade year and to go and help others through action with Your help, God.

Drew

My committment

Dear God,
Thank you for sowing up this past week in McDonald's, with Arthur, and the mulitplying of the ketchup. I know You are there watching over me. Thought this next year I commit to tell Hayley, Sarah and new friends about you. I love them enough and know they need You. I commit to being humble, selfless and to strive to be mmore like Jesus so that people can know I'm different. My actions should speak as loud as my words and glorify You. I commit to starting a Bible study with my friends so we can build each other up in our trials. I commit to speak up when someone denies You. I will get over myself and give up all for you.

Grace Chun

My committment

I commit to God that I will stick with one church instead of two.

Anthony Bennett

Day Two

I went and washed sail boats and hlped kids in music.

When one of the kindergartenrs laid on my lap, I realized that we are the child in God's lap. We need to submist to Him.

Michelle Hammontree

Day Two

Today I helped with VBS again, did surveys and went swimming.

Today as I was surveying people and listening to soem people's stories, I realized that God puts everyone in our path for a reason and I also realized that nobody is insignificant.

Aimee Milam

Day Two

Today we did surveys again for the church here. When we first got on the bus I was soooooo tired, but God gave me the strength to get the job done.

Katie Odell

Day Two

Today I helped with 3-4 year olds and helped with their crafts. We went to FSU and helped wash boats.

A God moment was when we went to clean boats and God blessed us with a heart to clean them all without complaining.

Rachel Strathdee

Day Two

Today I did the VBS games and went to Orange Avenue and did surveys.

A God moment was that we had pancakes for breakfast and they were good.

Ben Hammack

Day Two

I pretty much went around and did surveys again. I just got to see other sides of people. We went swimming and I really enjoyed hanging out with my friends.

Andrea

Day Two

I helped pre-K and went out to Orange Avenue again. We talked and went door-to-door to share/take a "Christ" survey.

My God moment was when we were talking to people there was a lady who intently listened to us and took the survey not as a "thing to do" but as a way to please God.

AJ Norman

Day Two

Today we went around the community ans shared about a church event and shared the gospel.

3 people we talked to were close followers fo Christ and went to church. One person couldn't talk because they were going to church. We were only denied by 3 people out of about 15 or 20.

Evan Kelley

Day Two

I worked in preschool again and cleaned boats.

It was good seeing people appreciate our work.

Clifton

Day Two

VBS! (In chantr form) We are making puzzles today (we are making puzzles today)
We are goint to pint today (we are making puzzles today) Go crafts! Go crafts! Go crafts!

Crafts was great today! Supervising the painting and making sure the kids painted their puzzles and not each other. The kids I got to help were adorable and you could see the joy in their hearts.

Serve Track! We went to a new part of the survey community. The first couple of houses were a little discouraging, but then we spoke to a couple of people living in that area. That reached to my heart because as I thought about it, the people we talked to were searching for God but were also searching for hope! It really reached my heart. We prayed with many right on their porched.

P.S. Woke up for Fit club!

Hannah Moore

Day Two

Today was a little like yesterday. I helped out little kids and went out to help the community. God gave me the strength to keep going on the kind heart to help others.

Emilee Mayer

Day Two

My group washed small sailboats today at the Seminole Reservation.

My God moment today was when a guy came over and asked if we were with a sail boat group and I got to tell him that we were there to show the love that Jesus gave us by washing these boats.

Ben Dewitt

Day two

I painted the kids' puzzles with them. One kid in particular stood out. Most kids refused to take help, but Ethan did take it. He revealed to me how we try to be independent from God, but we should always ask for help like Ethan asked me.

As we were surveying today, most people said that people don't come to church because people in the church are hypocrites. I realized that if there is hypocracy in me then I could push someone away from Jesus by my actions. I realized I should hold myself to a higher standard and be cautious.

Grace Chun

Day two

Today I worked with pre-K arts and crafts, and handed out sports camp flyers.

A woman told me that her son came home and talked about me a lot. It was very encouraging to hear that we have such influence with these kids.

Andrew Crawford

Day two

Today we went around the community and surveyed people. We also helped the kids paint.

God moment: while working the kids I really feld like our efforts would help lead some of them to know Christ.

Christian Barrowclough

Day Two

Today in crafts I helped the kids pain their 3-D models and some kids were chasing us with paint brushes that had paint, which was interesting. Then my in my serve track we finished the street we had started and we finished a whole new street.

Today while we were visiting, we met a nice lady and she was a very caring and nice. One thing that made me happy was that she said that we made her day. It surprised me that just by asking a couple of questions, we could brighten her day.

Mery Yanez

Day two

We did the same thing today that we did yesterday.

My God moment: I was feeling real down today and I prayed that god would make me joyful and happy. I rpayed that I would just be an example. People are watching me and a down spirit tears others down, but a happy spirit lifts them up. That's a verst int he Bible but I don't remember where it's from. As of now, I'm shoving that unhappiness down Satan's throat.

Emily Cashion

Day Two

Today we did the same thing as yesterday. VBS and then went out to Orange Avenue and passed out door hangers. But another thing that we did was go to the pool and go swimming. Another fun thing I did was do Christian's hair and make up on the bus ride home.

God moment: We met a lady who told us that the reason the people in her community don't go to church is just a sign that Jesus is coming back and it made me realize that it is coming soon and I need to get ready for it.

Amy Thwaites

Day two

We helped in arts and crafts. Today we painted their little puzzles. Oh, and just for the record, I ran a mile today with the e-fit club and I'm very proud of myself for running and not collapsing--haha

Today we were on the bus and we were all just hanging out when we saw a reflection on the bus ceiling from Ana's phone and it was a cross. I don't know why, I just thought it was cool...maybe because it shows that God is everywhere you go and I just thought it was pretty amazing.

Lindsey Walton

Day Two

Today the kids at VBS were more excited and outgoing. Also, while I was on the service track doing surveys for the church, the first couple of houses were discouraging. Then we met a lady came out, and we found out she was a Christian and very sweet. She said her community needed deliverance most of all. Amen, right? It got me thinking--we need to get going and start helping these people see the truth! A defintie God moment. This woman had faith. It gave us encouragement and hope.
Ashley Wilkinson

Day Two

Today I cleaned and waxed boats and hleped kids paint their crafts.

My God moment today was when I got to know some kids from Celebration church better and some kindergartners.

Anthony Bennett

Day two

Today I helped with music in VBS and did more surveys, which was awesome. And I finally ahd Dr. Pepper...yay!

We talked to some really nice people and we could tell they loved God.
