Oceans of Justice

So, I've come to realize junior year isn't nearly as difficult as everyone promised. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it's been weird. Also, it's not like I haven't been busy, I'm just not as shocked as I thought I would be.
Anyways, hello fellow bloggers, it's been awhile since I last posted. Life has been crazy!! I hope everyone is well.
A girl said to my youth group this week that she was looking out over us worshiping last week, and we weren't alive. Got me thinking about apathy and stuff. So, read Amos. It talks about all that kind of stuff. Amos 5:21-24 in the message says, "I can't stand your religious meetings. 
   I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects, 
   your pretentious slogans and goals.
I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes, 
   your public relations and image making.
I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. 
   When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want? 
   I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it. 
   That's what I want. That's all I want."


Wow, talk about convicting. Justice - oceans of it. Let's fight for it. 
Let's start singing to Him again, I agree that we've lost the passion. We're not ALIVE. 
So, live and sing and be alive in our heart when you sing.
Keep Going,
Helena Elise
