High School Life

Being in high school is hard. People get bullied and left out. Some change just to seem cool. People say high school is when you find yourself or figure out who you really are but I honestly don't think it is. People change in high school to make themselves blend in with everyone else. You hardly ever find someone who remains true to themselves during this period of their life. I wrote a poem last year as a freshman that really relates to this topic:

Cliques,rumors, and lies are all apart of the high school life
Clothes that are in and out make certain kids feel left out
People changing because they want to be cool
Only make them look like fools.
Stay true too yourself and that's all you'll need, your the only person you need to please 

Taking Test

Yesterday we took the Bible bowl and Pearls test. I love taking them because it challenges me to learn more about the Bible. 

Our Youth Group

Our youth group is like no other. We have three babies, nine little kids, and one teenager. We are all always here for each other and willing to help when is necessary. I love these kids like they are my brothers and sisters. We support each other and just like to have fun. These kids are a big encouragement to me whether they realize that or not. I hope they all continue to grow as Christians.

Family

Do you have a big family? I know I do! My family is so big there are people I don't even know. We try to have a family get together at least once every month. We might fuss and argue sometimes but we still love each other. All families have their problems. Nobody's family is perfect. The thing we need to keep in mind though is that families are suppose to be there for each other no matter what. If you don't have your family then who do you have??

Being a Good Example

I know it is hard to be a good example but it's something we have to learn to do. We always have people watching us. Personally being the oldest in my church youth group it gets hard. To always have a little kid watching me and wanting to do what I do is a little intimidating. But if we rely on God then we can be the best examples we are capable of being.

Valentines

 

Well Valentines Day is next week. Everyone is going around trying to find some one to celebrate it with and to be able to show someone they love them. But instead of looking for a valentine why not let God be your valentine and show him how much you love him. This is something we should do on a daily basis. We should be constantly showing God how much we love and how much he means to us by doing what he commands us to do. 

Practicing Song

Today we practiced song. It's so inspirational practicing and seeing the kids younger then me being so dedicated to what they are doing.
