Hey! How are ya'll? I'm fine here. I have to say something. Two of my friends, the other two that help with Teen2Teen, have helped me out a lot becoming a stronger Christian. (I'm serious!) Before the Seventh Grade, life really wasn't such a big deal to me. I really didn't turn my problems to God. I cussed (Yes I used to), I didn't care about things, I only cared about myself. Well in the seventh grade when I really got to know these two people, things started to be put together, I started to WANT to go to Church, I cared about others, but I stilled cussed around certain people, (One reason before this year, that I wanted to go to Church is probably because the people that go there, and it made me want to go, so when I wanted to go... I learned more.) Before the seventh grade I didn't really ask for forgiveness, and meant it I guess. Well when they like told me of all of these things... it made me realize how much I really wanted to be like that, have that special something. Well this year, was probably the best year I've had in my Christian expierence. They have brought me to realize what I was really missing. This year, I've became stronger, stopped cussing all together (I use to cuss around my friend), she tells me now, let's say my name is Mary, Mary I don't here you cuss anymore. I said well I've put that behind me, that's not the right thing. She was like oh, and she stopped cussing around me some, I don't know around other people. I've also became a better part of the Youth, became a WHOLE better Christian. Got to witness to others, and tell them what has been done to me, got to help in Teen 2 Teen Minsitries, I got to talk to people and stand up for what I believe in, been made fun of. It's helped me out a whole bunch!! I just realized this at about 10:10p.m. Dec. 30 when I was reading an article in my "Brio" magazine. It was an article about Horoscopes and stuff like that... about these two girls who read horoscopes to see if anything good was going to happen with their love life... well they realized by reading this verse... "The idols speak deceit, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain." Zechariah 10:2 and that they realized that it's wrong and God is the only answer, and you are probably think well what did that have to do with my situation, well it made me realize that God will answer EVERY prayer, it might not be what you want it to be, but it's not His will, if it's not. It made me think make then, and how thankful I am to have friends like them, who help me. You might not know they did, but yes they did. I think God wanted me to read that article in the magazine. It brings tears to my eyes... I want to thank them soo much!! You might not know this, but people look up to ya'll, people like me and other people. Your actions and the way you stand up for things, makes me and others go WOW, I wish I was like that. So Thanks!! I guess this is my devotion, thanks!
LOVE,
