Gossiping

According to Wikipedia the definition of gossiping is idle talk or rumor. Gossiping is wrong and hurtful! We have all participated in gossip in sometime during our lives whether intentional or not. To talk about someone behind their back and to start lies about them is really childish. Gossiping ruins people's lives. It breaks people down causing them to struggle to get back up. People will believe everything they here whether it's actually true or not. We live In a day and time where if someone don't like someone else then they will tear them down and you gossiping to do it. How would you feel if someone started a lie about you or went around and spread layout private personal business? You wouldn't like it so what makes you think other people would?

Steryotypes

Have you ever been steryotyped? I know I have! I get steryotyped for being in band, going to a minority school, being an athlete, being blonde, and being an only child but the one I get steryotyped for the most is being a Christian. Just because I'm in band don't mean that I'm a geek. Just because I go to a minority school don't make me or the people in it any less of a human being. I might be a athlete but I'm not stuck on myself. Not all blondes are stupid, and yes blonde jokes do get annoying and offensive. Being an only child doesn't mean I get everything I want. CHRISTIANS AREN'T FREAKS. People think just because I say I'm a Christian that I think I'm better then everyone else, that I'm weird, and some kind of religious freak. No Christians aren't any of these. Christians are people that are a part of the Church of Christ. They go to church and try their best to follow God's commands. Christians aren't hypercrits and they don't go with the crowd. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and that God has been here from the begining. They believe that God created us not evoulution. If you acted like you are steryotyped then you wouldn't even know who you are. You would loose yourself in all the caous. God made you exactly the way he wanted. Not everyone is the same! People have different interests and just because they might not like the same things as you doesn't make you any better then them. So stop making steryotypes and make friends instead! We all know that being steryotyped hurts so help stop them from being dished out!

Busy

Busy busy busy I'm always busy. Between band, softball, school, and church. I feel like I go 90 to nothing. I'm hardly ever home. Are you this busy? Some people might think I'm involved in too much but I don't. I love everything I do and try to put my all in to everything.

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.
