Take 15 minutes and silence yourself, body, mind, and soul. Don't look at another website, don't watch television. Just sit.

well like they say procrastinators unite tomorrow. I was definately missing out. You guys did a great job organizing and creating this blog.
Personally this passage is showing me that whenever i feel like i am alone and all my fears come true that God is waiting by my side to nurse me back to good health.Another great lesson from this passage is that through out the storms of life God is calling out to us. We just have to step back and let life take a complete stop and evalutate ourselves and listen to our heavenly father. Another great part of this passage is when Elisha trusted in Elijah. He even when to the full extent of burning his plow and slaughtering the cattle. It showed me that he wasn't going back to his old ways. It gives me an example to follow in my walk with Christ that I shouldn't and can't go back. My old ways will hinder my spirit and keep me from my full potential.
I usually sit back and relax and just think many times in the week. I have a lot of free time on my hands and it is great because it gives me time to do some serious thinking. It helps me evaluate my day and I can examine how I can do better. I also feel God speak to me through my parents faith too. They show me what I am doing wrong by poinging it out to me usually. Sometimes it makes me angry but it is good because they are right and they're trying to be the best influence they can be to a horomonal teenager. God also speaks to me through the pastors at our church. It seems that when ever I am facing one of life's storms that the pastor will preach a sermon that is very meaningful and it shows me my next step.
I think it is very beneficial to sit back and let God talk to me too, and let the world fly past me. When its just me and God I feel reassured and safe like i'm with my earthly father. It is fun to just be alone and sit down with God. When I pray I feel that God is really beside me and i'm talking to a friend.It gives me time to have long prayers and it lets me pour my heart out to God. These times are when I feel like I am learning the most and I am closest to him. Its not someone else preaching a message from God through them to me. It is a direct call between God and me.It is the greatest feeling and i believe that if anybody that doesn't have that relationship and reads this should check into it sometime. It's one of the best feelings one could ever have. It gives you hope for a bright future even though the storms of light are crushing you.
i let him say what ever he feels is right sometimes i just go blank sitting somewhere and talk to him ppl think im crazy but im really not
