What does God think of you?

The hearts and souls of the next generation as they wrestle and struggle with the idea of a God and what He thinks of them.

" I do not believe in God-at least not the Christian one..."

" I do not like religions, because there are annoying, weird and creepy."

"I think that God thinks of me as the not fully believer but maybe someday, because I don't agree on a few things about Christianity."

"I think there might be a God, because the world would not make sense without Him."

"God probably thinks of me as a believer, but not as faithful as I should be."

"I believe that there is a God but I don't know if it's the one the Bible is talking about."

" I don't even know if there is a God. I'm one of "I need to see to believe", type of people."

"If God is there, he might be thinking about me like, " your sinning too much"."

"God thinks of me 24/7."

"God thinks that I am amazing."

"He must think something good about me just because he created me."

"In God's eyes, I believe we are very special to him because if we weren't , we probably wouldn't be here."

"All that matters is what God thinks of us."

"He is the only one I know that will never leave me no matter what."

"I know that theres a God because he answers prayers."

"God never stops loving his people."

"God loves me."

It breaks my heart and inspires me all in the same breath.

Soccer and God

Tomorrow starts the first day of soccer practice for the 08-09 season at OCSI.
I'm not sure why but God has me coaching the boys team this year.
Expectations are high (as usual) but for some reason the more I think about God and what His true will is it's hard to see soccer as a top priority.
I know you can learn valuable life lessons , I know you can build team unity, I know you can do all sorts of things but is it Gods will that I coach soccer, does the God of all creation really care about a soccer team ministry. I'm not saying He doesn't want me to, because their is a need and there are kids on the team that need a good role model and need Christ, but would He have chosen it that way if He could have decided. I think God is simple in what he wants, he wants us to love Him and one another. I just keep getting hung up with all the bad going on in this world and what Soccer has to do with it. I mean will this help people who are homeless or someone who has never heard of the good news? Are we really supposed to rationalize it as this is what God has me doing or should we be fighting the stuff to help the real issues that plague this earth. I'm not sure but I will be praying that God will reveal in this season or in the years to come on how to effectively do God's will and not just man's stuff. I just think that sometimes it's the easy way out to say this is what we do and God will bless it instead of saying lets do what God wants so we can glorify him. Think about the things we do as humans and how we rationalize it to fit God's will, sometimes I have to laugh.
Fantasy leagues, team sports, pot lucks (buffets), and the best would have to be halo tournaments. I'm victim to all of these, I'm not perfect.

I go back and forth on this issue so please don't peg me as "most things we do are meaningless as it relates to God's true will and we are way to lost to see it", but maybe we are.
I just feel that sometimes we are so wrapped up in our way of living that it's so against the grain to truly do God's will that we just settle.
What's your opinion, because mine certainly is not the only one.
Bare with me. I'm still growing.
