Hello everyone!
I have some good news and some bad news, and I'm sure this will affect some of you as well.
Friday at around 6PM, a 5th grade student (Dominic), a good friend of mine, at my old elementary school was hit by a train. He IS alive, stable, and somehow still his cheery self, as he was reported to be "in good spirits." He really hasn't changed! Few people can survive this kind of accident, much less a child! Dominic is a modern day miracle for anyone who has doubts that they still exist.
However, on the down side, he has suffered severe injuries, the worst being that he lost one foot, with severe damage to his other foot.
He's one amazingly strong kid, but no one in the world can be prepared to go through this kind of trauma alone.
Thank you all and may the LORD watch over you.
Prayer request: Please pray for him, his family, and his friends (including myself) as this sinks in and give us all strength through this. He's been in the chess club I helped coach for 3 years and this is hitting me pretty hard.
Verse of the day: And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. ~1 Thessalonians 5:14

3-17-13: Day Of Jesus' Works
Hello everyone!
I've gotta say, today has been AWESOME! Today at Willow, we had baptism, and with about 100 planned to be baptized at the 11:15 service, there was an estimated 200+ baptized! The stage where the people were being baptized in the pool, the line just never stopped getting bigger!!! The service went a good 45 minutes longer than planned! The band ran out of songs and restarted! It was truly incredible!
Also, last night, my dad told me my grandma agreed MONTHS ago that she would fully fund was left for my Dominican Republic mission trip, no matter how much is cost! God is AWESOME! Out of $1,600, I had raised $840...she paid a full $760 for me to go on my trip this spring break (next week). I'm amazed!
For anyone wanting to know how long until I leave, just check out my Dominican Republic Countdown.
Verse of the day: Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the [spiritual] gift of the Holy Spirit. -Acts 2:38

God bless you all, and I hope you have a Christ-filled week!

3-13-13: Sharing God's Movement
Hey guys and girls!
I'm proud to say that this blog has now been viewed in SIX different countries: USA (naturally), Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, and France! I honestly have no idea how this reached anywhere besides the US, Germany, and Canada, considering I have family and friends in those countries, but hey, the farther His Kingdom reaches, the better!
Of course I can't take all the credit. God has naturally done most of the work. He's the one I want to tell everyone about. He's the one who has changed my life and is leading my life. He is the one I want to worship and praise all my life, and I don't care who knows, for I am unashamed of Him.
Verse of the day: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile." -Romans 1:16
Prayer request: Could you all please pray that the audience of this blog continues to grow, that my story and walk with God inspires others to take steps in their faith.
Don't forget to share this blog with your friends and family! God bless you all!

3-11-13: Spiritual Gifts
Hey everyone!
I hope you've all been well, I know I have...of course it could just be because I'm forgetting everything before yesterday!
I had an AWESOME day with one of my college friends; their Spring break began on Friday for the next 2 weeks, so I hope I'll be able to spend plenty of time with my college friends. Man, I miss them a ton! He and I played 10 rounds of pool (he won 9 of them...minor detail. We still had fun) and I won 2/3 rounds of Fussball! I played probably one of the most intense games ever! The final game finished 11-13 with me with the win! And yes, this will tie around to God again...just wait.
The past 3 weeks at church have been covering spiritual gifts and how we can use them in our everyday lives. My top two, for example, are mercy and shepherding. The definition of a mercy gift is "the capacity to feel and express unusual compassion and sympathy for those in difficult or crisis situations and provide them with the necessary help and support to see them through tough times." I find myself able to use this every day, especially with these couple friends I've been talking to consistently on Facebook about relationship or family problems, and while it helps them feel better and more comfortable with what's going on in their life, it also helps me in my own troubles. It's really cool how this stuff works!
The same goes for shepherding: "the divine enablement to nurture, care for, and guide people toward on-going spiritual maturity and becoming like Christ." I often incorporate the two gifts by using scripture to help my friends through their problems. It's actually a ton of fun and it brings me tons of joy to know that my friends feel better with my help.
If anyone else would like to discover their spiritual gift, here's a link to the test I took given by my church: http://studentimpact.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Full-Spiritual-Gifts-Test-Chart-and-Descriptions.pdf. I'd love to hear what your gifts are! Feel free to comment or email me at spikesscott@gmail.com
And here's a link to a website with more information about what your gift is, how it can be used, and how it's shown in the Bible: http://theresurgence.com/series/spiritual-gifts
I hope everyone has a great week and I'll try to start posting more consistently. As I said, helping friends has been a ton of work, and while it is tons of fun, it does cut out time to post. However, of course friends' needs must come first! Thank everyone for your understanding!
My prayer request is a pretty major one in my case. I'm going, as I've said, on a mission trip in two weeks, and I'm $800 short! Please pray I get the funding needed, because as a high school student, I have ZERO money for myself to pay!

2-26-13: Past Weekend = CHRIST-FILLED AWESOMENESS
Hey there!
Ok, I know the title isn't a real word, but I don't know any other description.
It started out on Friday with a Dominican rapper at Willow Creek, and that was awesome because as I'm going to the DR (Dominican Republic) in 26 days, and it was cool to experience their love of music! I didn't understand most of the lyrics, as they were in Spanish and I take German and know, obviously, English, but just how into the music the rapper and other fans were...overwhelming. I cannot WAIT to go to the DR!
Then Saturday, I went to Winter Jam 2013, which was just...I don't even know how to describe it. It's essentially a Christian concert with about 8 artists and a guest speaker. The main (well-known) artists there were Matthew West, Sidewalk Prophets, and TOBYMAC!!! Though I'm super disappointed that they had my favorite band as the pre-show act, and didn't have them as part of the main concert, even though they were part of the lineup: Capital Kings! Their debut album came out on January 8th, so they're fairly new, but they've gotten amazing reviews, and I LOVE them! They're AWESOME! They use a mix of dubstep, rock, electronic, and hip-hop, and just the whole mix is insane! They've also been featured in some songs with TobyMac. I did, however, get to talk to one of the artists, so that was SOOO cool!
Sunday, we had the rapper at Student Impact as a "surprise". That's in quotations because he told me on Friday that he'd be there, but told me to keep it a secret as that was meant to be a surprise. It was SOOO hard not to say it to my DR team, but I SOMEHOW managed not to. Then in youth (house) group, we did the Harlem Shake...it was SCARY. It's part of a competition throughout Impact that was started by Streamwood when they made one and are now challenging everyone else to make one. Here's ours: Barrington West Harlem Shake. Wish us luck!

2-8-13: God, HELP!
Hey guys and girls,
Major prayer request today. It seems like every day brings new troubles and I know it's impossible for me to get through on my own, and I need God, but sometimes the anger and fear and tears wipe Him from my mind. Please pray that I remember He's with me through the struggles and the good?
Anyone interested in knowing more depth as to my emotions, please check out my poetry blog, Many Worlds Set In Few Words. It has more explanation as to what I feel. I express my emotions better through poetry than simple words.
Here's the poem I wrote today, though. It gives you an overview as to what I feel in a nutshell:

My Savior, SAVE ME!
LORD, these things seem to happen just to me,
Most of what I do these days: cry in bed,
LORD, please uncover my eyes, let me see,
What are your plans for me waiting ahead?
God, all troubles happen for a good cause,
But all I see now is this deep, cold black,
I’ve been stabbed many times, I’m clothed in gauze,
I’ll break in two with one more ax’s hack.
Father, save me from this place; I’m dying,
I feel so abandoned, I need You near,
I always say I’m ok, I’m lying,
The real truth is that I’m filled with fear.
Creator, hold my hand, walk me through this,
My Savior, help me escape this abyss.

2-5-13: Blast info follow-up
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Sorry it took me so long to get around to the additional information about Blast last weekend. I've been fairly busy with stuff with friends and not feeling great (emotionally and physically).There's just been a lot of stuff going on which I'd rather not get into much. Bottom-line, I've had a bad few months with losing friends. Though I've got to say, the friends sticking around, they're AWESOME! I was texting this one friend (name not mentioned) about it and I hadn't been even smiling for days, and of course in one text from him I went from crying, literally crying, to laughing and smiling! Also, he reminded me that I don't need the love from my friends to be ok, because Jesus is the ultimate love and comfort, and He is all I need. That helped SOOO much.
Ok, now I'll get to what I promised last week: the Blast full summary.
So for anyone who hasn't gone to Blast or Sandblast, it's one weekend (Blast: leave Friday, back Sunday; Sandblast: leave Friday, back Monday) and the Saturday night session (service) is the emotional service, as in it's always really deep and often brings people to tears. However, in my case at least, it wasn't that great. The worship, though, brought me to tears, especially when we sang This Is Amazing Grace by Bethel Live. That literally brought me to my knees. "Jesus I sing for all that You've done for me."
However, I also had several friends stand up when Bryan Jones, our pastor, asked anyone who'd gone from a fan to a follower. If you're a fan, when you get into a situation where being a Christian may be a bad thing, you'd leave your faith. However, if you're a follower, no matter what situation you're in, Jesus will always be your refuge and never deny being a Christian. That was by far my favorite part: seeing my friends stand up.
That's just about all I can say that can be a summary without giving you the whole session.
So, for my prayer request, it isn't for me. It's for my friends who stood up. Could you please pray that they continue to stay confident in their faith and don't back down when times get hard? I've seen it happen before, and it's disappointing sometimes.
I also want to remind everyone that if anyone's interested in coming to Student Impact, don't feel bad if you've either never been to church before or haven't been to Willow before! Everyone's welcome, and everyone's greatly encouraged to come if they wish. Something I hear often is the person invited doesn't know anyone who goes, but don't let that hold you back! If you've been invited, you know the person who invited you, and you'd be surprised who you might find out goes.
Praying for you all and always keep God at the center of your life!

1-27-13: Blast summary preview
Hey everyone!
This past weekend was Student Impact's winter (Willow Creek high school ministry) retreat, and it was alright. It was awesome for others, and I admit it was...alright...for me. Only the worship touched me, and I was hoping I'd be affected far more, especially as last year's Blast rocked my world, and Sandblast (the summer retreat) also made a major impact (no pun intended). One of the songs with the biggest impact on me was "This Is Amazing Grace" by Bethel Music (lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iFEOB8Coes). Especially the line "Jesus I sing for all that you've done for me". It LITERALLY brought me to my knees, crying tears of joy. I've had several bad points in my life, and I just thank God for all He's done for me!
More on Blast will be posted later this week, I just wanted to get an overview up.
We had the Uprising rally a couple weeks ago at Barrington High School, and we had probably 50 different people say they wanted to be contacted by someone from Uprising! We had around 10 new faces at Uprising this morning, and I have a friend who says she wants to come, but the only limitation is the fact that she drives her sister to school as well, so her sister may not want to get up early! Darn early-morning club! Ah well, it's fun anyway! Please pray that we continue to have more new faces at Uprising over the next few weeks and that we continue to grow as a club.
That's all there is for now...as I said, more later this week.
Prayer request: More people come to Uprising and my friend's able to come to Impact this weekend. Her twin went to Blast, and my friend was interested, but as neither go to Willow, my friend didn't feel comfortable, unlike her twin.
And instead of a verse, a psalm. At Blast we had the opportunity to write our own psalm, and here's mine. Sorry it's so blurry! The camera isn't great. "The LORD my God has given me life"
God bless you all!

1-15-13: Here goes my second semester
Hey everybody,
In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly the regular blogger, having something up on a steady pace, i.e. weekly, daily, etc. I mostly post just when I have time, so sorry if these are a bit long with updates. And this one will be short due to a lack of time.
This prayer request is so big I need to start with it. PLEASE pray that I don't end up in this stupid "well disguised anger management class" next semester! It's mostly because my councilor thinks I don't have social skills because he never sees me with people...because I'm usually with people OUTSIDE school. PLEASE pray something turns around. That'll just drive me over the edge. Haha, not exactly what "anger management" is supposed to do, huh? :)
Ok, "on to your regularly scheduled reading." God's been stirring in my heart, especially with "I Used To..." going on at school. It's Barrington High School's Christian club's outreach rally, with speakers talking about how they used to do drugs, or partying, or felt useless...until they found or recognized Christ. Today's the first day, and maybe 80 people showed the first day! Not bad I think...could do better by the end of the week (when we finish).
Plus BLAST IS COMING UP NEXT WEEK! It's Willow Creek's high school ministry's winter retreat. We "invade" a resort for a weekend, and it is SOOO much fun! Can't wait!
Ok, sorry guys, but I gotta go. Bell's about to ring (7th period).
God bless!

1-9-13: Truth Vow
HEY EVERYONE!
Sorry I went AWOL, I've been stressing with school stuff and whatnot. AP Chem is a killer!
Anyway, I hope everyone had a nice winter break, and good luck with getting back into the groove of school! (I've never used that word, at least not on purpose...weird.) Did anyone get anything nice for Christmas/Hannukah/whatever else you celebrate? I got a few books, money for my Dominican Republic mission trip ($400/1600-1800 covered!) One of my favorite books is Phil Callaway's To Be Perfectly Honest. It's a book about a year of trying a challenge his editor gave him: to be 100% honest for a full year. He wrote in a journal about how he did the day, almost every single day. Not bad!
From reading his book, seeing how it's helped him change a bit and be more truthful, as well as grow in his faith, I've decided to accept the challenge, with my own twist. As I'm sure that I'll probably have a bit more trouble with it, I'm doing it by the month. I started Jan 3rd, and at the end of the month, I'll think back to how I did. If I did well enough, I'll try another month, and another, until if I do well, I'll end at the end of 2013 (assuming the world doesn't end a year later than it was supposed to! haha!) So far, so good.
On a bit more solemn note, this past weekend was a bit hard on me, though probably far more so for one of my friends. He had some problems with his mom and ended up kicked out of his house. For privacy purposes, I won't give his full name, but if everyone who sees this could please pray for him? His first name's Joey. Thank you all. I ended up taking him in Friday through Monday, but still. Not easy for anyone. He's a cool guy, though, so it wasn't THAT bad. We still had some fun. Thanks all.
Ok, I'll wrap this up with another prayer request, a reference, and a verse.
Please pray that the funding for my Dominican Republic trip continues to increase and I raise all the money I need to to be able to go. I definitely don't have the money to pay by myself.
