At KOG the love for God and other is prevalent in every thing I see. I see it in the parents who hold on to their little children during the service to instill in them the idea of worship. I see it in the youth directors when they are with the youth of the church. I see it in our pastors when they bless us every Sunday morning. The Love for God I saw in Mary Preston
when she played her organ was so inspiring. She played for God and God alone. Her music was her gift from him to show just how much she loved and appreciated it, she shared it with all of us. The love for others and God is shown to me personally by the youth at KOG. The youth group is my strength and my rock when I need the spiritual and emotional support when dealing with not JUST my faith but every day problems as well. I see God IN the youth group every time I go on Sunday nights. Every time I feel down, all I need is the
tiniest little pick me up from my Christian family and everything seems ok again. God works in the people around me by supporting me in what I do and in my faith.
I also think that to love God is to appreciate him as well. Every time I sing I sing for God. I thank him so much for my music and I love him so much. When I sing its to honor HIM and to thank HIM for EVERYTHING he has given me.
To love God isn’t just to come to church on Sundays and forget everything during the week, its to live for him and respect him. I know as a teen I struggle with this a LOT but Wednesdays and Sundays are the boost I need to try and keep my mind focused on the main goal.
A verse I love to read when I'm down or feeling upset is Psalm 40:1-3
"1I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2He drew me up from the desolate pit,*
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
3He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord."
God loves as much as you love him and more. He will lift you up and keep you standing no matter the circumstances.

Chelsi, I am so glad to see that you are involved in church and that you have God in your life. Your mother was a very dear friend of mine in high school. I know that she would be so proud of you.
