Struggle Wrap
We had some great discussion on Struggle this past week. However, the concept of struggle is not a nice little package that any of us should have any final resolution about. I am certain we will revisit this idea on an ongoing basis.
For those of you who want to explore this topic further, here are some books you might find to be of interest:
Messy Spirituality, by Mike Yaconelli
Disappointment with God, by Philip Yancey
If you have any further thoughts after wrestling through Struggle this past week, please feel free to share them in the comments of this entry.

Jacob-Isreal and KARMA Gen. 25:27-34
What Jacob did to Esau came back to him through his Uncle Laban.
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Ga 6:7-9)

I had a tough struggle this week at my school. I felt like no one liked me and I felt like I had 0 friends. In my Teen leadership class we have been working on refraiming. Refraiming is looking at the good side of things over the bad side. I went and looked at my friend list and I was able to pull out 7 friends first I have Jesus. Then I have Trevor Dubois and Logan Dubois. Then I have my 4 brothers. Now that I look at things I have lots of good friends.
