The "Thank You Jesus" Movement

What are those bright yellow signs?

The "Thank You Jesus" Movement
WFMY

Many of us have seen the yard signs that say "Thank You Jesus" with the sunset in the background.

I came home last night from work, and saw one of these signs in my yard. I asked my mom when we got this sign. She told me that one of our neighbors came by and dropped one off at our house. She had bought one for every house on our street.

Where do these signs come from?

The movement started around February 2016, over 33500 signs have been planted since.

Lucas Hunt is a teenager that attends Hopewell Friends Church in Asheboro, North Carolina. God tugged on His heart and Lucas had the desire to plant yard signs in his yard around Christmastime.

Time passed by, and Lucas discovers that another member at his church, Connie, had a similar idea. She wanted to make Easter signs saying, you guessed it, "Thank You Jesus".

These signs have been truly a reminder of the unfailing grace of Jesus. How He gave His life, so we can live ours. His grace is so sufficient, it saved all of mankind.

They have reached the entire East Coast, and even some of the West Coast. It is truly amazing what God has done through this movement.

Thank You Jesus!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
