Best Friends

Do you have best friends? I personally have 4 best friends. We might argue and fight sometimes but we are still here for each other. We hang out all the time and sometimes they even come to church with me sometime. We have tons of fun. When we have best friends we need to use that opportunity to teach them the gospel. So try to take them to church the next time your church has church services.

Struggles

I struggle with geometry, chemistry, expressing my feelings, being a good example, being the oldest in my youth group, and being a teenager. We all have struggles. Some more then others. The thing that we can't do though is let the struggles overtake us. When we start experiencing what we consider as our struggles whether they are worldly or Godly we always need to turn to God. God will help us get through these things. He will help me be a better example and with being the oldest in my youth group. What are your struggles?

Making New Friends

Making new friends for some people is never easy. On the other hand there are some people that are very good at it. Recently I went to Exposure with Blackwater Church of Christ. I was really scared and thought that I wouldn't know anyone. When I got there I actually was able to make tons of friends. When you are making friends you need to be yourself. Just remember God made you how he wanted you to be and that's how you need to act while trying to make friends. Just keep God in your heart.

College

A few months ago I signed up for a program to help me find the perfect college. Yes I am only a sophomore in high school but soon I will be graduating. I have already gotten letters from 3 colleges. Hopefully soon I might get one from a Christian college like Faulkner or Freed Hardmen.

Christmas

Well there is three days until Christmas! I am so excited! During this time of year everyone is making list of things that they want or think they need. People are coming in town to visit family that they hardly ever get to see. Food is cooked and songs are singed. But have you ever thought about the children and adults that don't have families, money, won't get presents, or have food on Christmas day? We all expect to get things during this time of year but some people won't even get a Merry Christmas. There are kids in orphanges that won't get a gift for Christmas. Christmas shouldn't always be about getting things it should be about giving to people less fortunate then yourself. Think about that in the next three days.

Bullying

Have you ever bullied someone or seen someone being bullied? If you are mean, hit, talk about, or leave out someone then you are bullying them. People kill themselves because of bullying. Would you be able to live knowing your the reason why someone killed themselves? No matter how many times you apologize for bullying someone the scars will always be there. So next time, before you say or do something mean think about if you were that person. Plus, if you just stand around and watch someone be bullied you are just as guilty! Bullying is WRONG!!! I wrote a poem I would like to share with you all. Mean words do hurt as we walk through this world. They will last in our hearts. Mean words will never part.

Singing

I love singing! I have been into singing since I was in elementary school. I used to be in choir. I really like to sing church songs. My favorite church song is Someday. The Bible tells us in Psalms 100:2 to "come before his presence with singing." If it's commanded in the Bible to sing then it must be a great thing. So how about you? Do you like singing? What's your favorite church song?
