Never give up

This man is an inspiration. I hope one day I would be able to meet him and here his amazing testimony.

This man, was born with no arms or legs. Yet he is one of the strongest men I have ever seen. He does not let his disability get in the way of what truly matters, his faith in God. This man's testimony is just amazing and I hope one day I would be able to hear him speak.

In this video he talks about how when we fall we know to get back up, but there are some times where we feel we do not have the strength to get back up. Well this man has no arms or legs, and yet he still manages to get back up! He still manages to get up off the ground when he falls with no help from others!

We need to remember that even when we feel we don't have the strength to get back up, God will always give us the strength we need, He will always be there to help us get back up, He will always be there to wipe off the dirt when we fall. We must never give up, we must never stay down when he are hit. Because if we stay down that means the devil has won! If we stay down that means Satan has defeated us! Do not let the Devil knock you down and keep you down! Do not let him keep you down! Get back up and continue fighting! Get back up and continue living your life for the only person who matters...GOD!

Never give up, never back down, never stay down!
Always keep going, always get back up, always keep fighting!

God of this City

Many of you have probably grown up in the same city for majority of your life? Majority of you have probably said "I cannot wait to get out of this place!" Don't get me wrong. I know I have many, many times. I grew up in a small town named Orillia my whole life and when I say that there is very little to do here, I mean it. My town is filled with a very high rate of pregnant teenagers, druggies, alcohol, partiers, and unless you are into that sort of stuff you're kind of left out. I love Orillia, do not get me wrong, but a lot of the times I feel like I can do nothing here. So when I want to go do something fun I have to drive to somewhere like Barrie or Toronto, which I don't want to do. But one thing Orillia does have a lot of....amazing teenagers who are on fire for God.
  Last night at my youth group we were singing God of this City by Chris Tomlin and it just really hit me.
  Orillia is nicknamed the 'Sunshine City', but I don't think it's because the sun is always shining, it's because God's light is always shining.
  Because of all of the amazing kids in this city God's light is able to shine so brightly and have no boundaries of where it reaches.
  As much as we all say "I cannot wait to get out of here" think about how amazing this city is because of what God is done with it.

No matter where you go in life, if you continue to spread the amazing news of God then wherever you are it will be God's city, and no one can take that away. I just want you all to keep something in the back of your head as you continue on in life. Never forget the place you grew up in, never forget the place you put so much work into making it God's city. Continually pray for your hometown and that no matter where you are, there will be people still there making it God's city and making it shine for him.
  Just because you move on to bigger and better things doesn't mean  you can just forget about where you grew up. No matter what you're hometown is always going to be in your heart. So never forget it, and never let God's light stop shining in that place.

I want, for the rest of my life, to be able to come back to Orillia and still see that sun shining, because people came in after me and continued to spread God's word throughout this amazing city.
