LC grad banquet.... ok... since momo never got my testemony.. that is what i will start out with... and then i will go on to describe the rest of the nite... ok... now... lights camera action! lets begin...

-----LC was the place that has really helped me mature. Back when I was in YBC, friday night fellowship just meant something to do on friday night, haging out with friends and just having fun. I went into LC with this view of friday night fellowship. Boy was I going to be in for the lesson of my life durring the four years of my highschool life.
-----In the begining, I only came to LC to see my friends, especially the ones who didn't go to my school anymore, that was my only chance to see them. However, as time wore on, most of the people I hung out with started comming less and less to fellowship. I began using that excuse to come less and less. Each friday, I'd call up a certain friend and ask her, "Are you comming to LC?" and that would determine whether or not I would go that week. Unfortunately, life got to the point where none of the people I used to hang out with ever went to fellowship anymore and I was left with a choice. I had to choose whether I would be like my friends and go only to hang out, or go to LC for its original purpose, to hang out with and get to know other Christians and learn more about God.
-----Small groups really helped me make the right decision. I learned that going to LC was not supposed to be about me and whether or not I was having fun, but it was about God first. Sure, having fun is a good thing, and I believe that fun is important at LC, but I was totally missing the point. I was putting my comfort above my spiritual life. As the people I used to hang out with at LC stopped comming altogether, God was challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and come for a different reason. He wanted me to come because I wanted to worship Him, not just hang out with my friends.
-----Because I've learned to put Him as my reason for going to fellowship, God has really blessed me. He has not only allowed me to grow in him and be a better Christian for Him, but he has also given me great friends with the same intrest geared towards Him. It doesn't matter anymore that I'm the only girl in my grade comming to LC. With the absense of the people I used to hang out with, I was able to get a lot closer to those who I barely talked to before and make lasting friendships.
-----My word of advice to everyone: "It's not about who goes and who you're there to see. It's about who you are there to worship."
