Influence Recap: Seize the Opportunity!
First, the important stuff: Ben Tuttle from Blue Bell spoke today about Seizing the Opportunities that God gives us. Jesus said in Mark 16:15 to "Go into all the world" and be a witness to others. While some people think that means becoming a missionary or going to seminary school, Ben explained to the students how "this school is your home"; it is their world. They spend more time here than anywhere else, and constantly are given opportunities to live as a light to others, whether it be just in day-to-day experiences or through a divine meeting of some sort. Ben encouraged them to remember to look for the moments where we can share Christ not only through our words but through our actions. It's a message that hit home for everybody in the room, I'm sure. We all have opportunities that we've missed to be an influence to someone, and I pray that God keeps our heart sensitive to those moments. Thank you, Ben, for your wonderful message. Leah Blevins provided an awesome spaghetti lunch to everyone, and even with rounds of flu keeping a lot of our regulars out of school these days, we still hit a nice mark of 44 students there. It was a great time.
