As part of my preparation for Kids Connexions, I have been asked to prepare a 5-10 minute devotional that is appropriate for elementary aged children. Here is what I came up with:
Raise your hand if you have a best friend?
Hmm...Did you know that Jesus wants to be your friend?! He can be your very best friend if you let him! He will never leave you. He will never hurt you.
Does anyone know how Jesus showed us that he loves us and wants to be our friend?
(John 15:13-15)
Jesus died for us. There is no greater expression of love than to give your life so a friend may live.
You know what else?! The bible says that Jesus chose us, he chose you!
Do you want to be Jesus' friend? All you have to do is accept him as your savior and follow him the rest of your life. He will help you and take care of you. Jesus won't ever lead you down the wrong path. He loves you and he knows what is best for you. Jesus wants you to have the absolute best, but its up to you to decide to trust him.
To be a good friend to Jesus we need to show love to the people around us. We need to love our moms and dads, our brothers and sisters, babysitters and teachers, friends and enemies.
I know it needs some improvement, but I don't know how to do that. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Prayer Network
So if you are reading this, you are a part of my prayer network for the next 17 weeks. As you know, I will be spending my summer as a missionary through the SC Baptist Collegiate Ministry. I am part of a team called Kids Connexions. Me and two other college girls who will be traveling the state, staying mostly in the Lowcountry, putting on Vacation Bible Schools, and block parties. All three of us, Tiara and Emily and I, will need lots of prayer. We are all eagerly preparing for what is to come. Thanks for your love and support. I will update this blog with information as I get it. So keep checking it! I leave for the field on May 27 and return August 8, so those will be the most popular times for entry over the 17 weeks.
Love in Christ,
