Let's go B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
Switchfoot "We Are One Tonight"
Hey Guys!
Just wanted to remind you guys that this Friday is SURPRISE: Bananarama. So make sure you guys bring these things:
1. Warm Clothes (gloves, tooques, jackets)
2. Friends (This is a great time for you guys to bring your friends).
It starts at 7:30PM SHARP!!
So make sure you guys go Bananas this weekend....or as Geoffrey says....bana anas anas! hahahaha....
I also wanted to encourage you guys to be BANANAS for God....hehehe....I know....bad cliche. But I want you guys to start dreaming and asking yourselves, "What would happen if God were to move?".
It doesn't really get good until 3:00 mins in, but listen to the entire thing. It'll take 7 mins out of your life, but I think it'll help you guys out. (click the picture)Since you guys are a part of YAC. What do you guys see happening in YAC within the next year?? next 3 years?? next 5 years?? How do you guys want to use YAC to bless others?? This ultimately is YOUR fellowship...let's look beyond the regular and start dreaming BIG!!
I want you guys to start dreaming about YAC, and I'll tell you mine in another blog. Have a great week everyone!! See you in 2 weeks!
LET'S GO BANANAS!!!

You CAN Go...if you REALLY Want to.....
Hey Gang,
This Friday (tommorrow), is Soul Food...bring your bibles! :)
I received a very moving devotion on Tuesday and I forwarded it to many of you. If you didn't read it, here's a portion of it below. If you have read it, read it again because it's deeply moving! It talks about the power of friendship and is part one from a series called "Cultivating Christian Friendships." Wouldn't it be amazing if you could find or even BE the loyal friend who wants to rescue his dying commrade described below?!? Read on......
One could not but be moved by the story of the soldier who asked his officer if he
might go out into the "No Man's Land" between the trenches in World War I to bring in one of his comrades who lay grievously wounded. "You can go," said the officer, "but it's not worth it. Your friend is probably killed, and you will throw your own life away." But the man went. Somehow he managed to get to his friend, hoist him onto his shoulder, and bring him back to the trenches. The two of them tumbled in together and lay in the trench bottom. The officer looked very tenderly on the would-be rescuer, and then he said, "I told you it wouldn't be worth it. Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded." "It was worth it, though, sir," he said. "How do you mean, 'worth it'? I tell you your friend is dead." "Yes, sir," the boy answered, "but it was worth it, because when I got to him he was still alive, and he said to me, 'Jim, I knew you'd come.'"
You comments on this story?! We'd love to hear them! :)

Worship the WHAT?!?
Hey Guys and Gals,
I just thought I would say "Hi" and challenge you guys...hahahha.
What does it mean to be "souled out"?
This past Sunday really reminded me of a Bible story that is one of my favorites. It's of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Why don't you guys read it for yourself.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=34&chapter=3&version=31
To me, this is just one way of being souled out.
There are three things that are important in this story:
1. They were firm in their beliefs. Not to bring them glory, but to give God glory.
2. They were protected by God and nothing hurt them.
3. Because of what happened, God's power was shown, the King became a believer, and the three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, were blessed.
Imagine actually being in that time seeing the three of them standing there.
What would you guys do in that situation?
It's so tough to decide because your life is on the line. I know I would have a difficult time deciding. If you guys read verses 16-18, you see that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn't really care for their lives, they just wanted to show that their God is the one true God. That's amazing and it definitely takes a lot of guts.
Think about this...what are the daily decisions you guys have to make to be souled out? It definitely isn't a life or death situation like the story in Daniel, but we make decisions about our faith everyday. Think about that.
Anybody have anything else to add?? Or any comments or questions??
Luke 9:23-26 (New International Version)
Later y'all. Have an awesome week!
Remember that this Friday is "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" so bring your brain and lets see how smart you guys really are.....hahahahaha....GAME ON!
Bring your friends too. It Starts at 7:30pm at church.

23Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself
and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24For whoever wants to save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25What good is it
for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? 26If
anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Souled Out!!!!!
So what do you guys think of the new YAC Theme? Cool? Okay? Are still confused as to what the theme is all about?!
I think it's pretty amazing.....God has really placed a vision in my heart--as well as Leo's and Sarah's hearts--for you all and we are EXCITED to see this plan unfold!!!
Just a verse for you guys and gals:
2 Chr 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
(NIV)
In this new year, may you find that you are drawn closer to Him....As you face the struggles, the joy, and the pain, may you find that each event makes you more and more committed to Him!
Have a super week!
