Here we are at the last day! What a testament to your devotion for those that have gone through the entire Challenge! And while today is the end of this challenge, I hope that you can find something else to start another challenge on!
Take a moment and read Luke 22:1-30 and take note of the words that Jesus says. He says a lot.
In this passage Jesus is having his last celebration with his disciples. He is marking the end of his ministry with the disciples and his eventual death on the cross at the end of this week. It is interesting how Jesus goes about the dinner. Jesus is very excited to have this meal with his disciples because of what it will mean for these men in the coming days. Jesus knew that this was going to be a very difficult time ahead of these men, however, he knew that he was going to send them out to do greater things than he ever did.
Jesus instructs them to remember where they had been and what they had done with Jesus and the imminent end that was coming to Jesus the next day. He then tells them to consider how they should live their lives when he is gone. He gives them instructions on what to do after he is gone. He re-issues them their task for the next phase of their lives.
So here we are at the end of this 30-day challenge. This is the end of something good and something that took a lot of work. CELEBRATE! Go have a Coke; or a bag of chips (no not the whole bag, Chris :) ). But do something to mark this day and to remember what it is that you have accomplished. But then remember that there is still a mission. Re-evaluate what that mission is in your life.
So what is it for you? What is your next task? What is the mission that you now have renewed for you? What is the next 30-day challenge that you have in front of you?
What is the meaning of your next 30-days?
Love you all!
Keep pushing into Him for everything!

Hello everybody its been a while ok maybe like 2 days. Sorry i didn't post i had a friend over this weekend ...this is really random but it has to do with the subject... did you know that communion is also called "the Love Feast"... my bible has small footnotes about things in the passage so i thought i'd share.
I think that the next thirty days i need to intensify my relationship with the father. I need to grow more and learn more to what he has in store for me. I need to be more of a servant like Jesus said in the passage. I need to do this because this is when i create my standards for later on in life. Now is the time for me to really grow and decide my future and it will make a whole lot of a difference if my future is in the lord's hands and i will learn to trust in him and grown in his word.
Thanks Chris and Geoff its been a great experience with you guys at the church. You've helped me understand and grow a little more with the words you've said to me and have posted on this blog.
