Hey everyone! How are you all doing? Lately I've felt as if it's getting harder and harder to draw near to God and I feel that a lot of us youth are feeling the same. Quite a bit has happened over this past year that has really made me think about my personal relationship with Him and how I personally act throughout the day. It's made me realize that yes a lot of stuff that I necessarily don't like or that's really hard to deal with, happens but God is here for us and cares a great deal. Although it's super hard, I've come to realize that with no matter what happens, I can always turn to Him. I admit that there have been plenty of days where I really don't want to do anything or I'm just simply not happy but as hard as it is, I know those are the days that I should draw near to Him more. Last year, as some of you may know, my grandpa passed away and numerous things happened in my family and with my friends. It was super hard to go to school and to go on not being sad all the time; it still is sometimes. However, I believe God is trying to reach to me now more then ever. It's still hard but I really want to get back into reading the bible more and praying for more than just a few minutes everyday. I admit I haven't been doing so well with that lately but I think I really need to. I wanted to write this to let you all know that you're not alone with anything you're going through. Yes you have friends and family to help you through it, but you also have God and He's the most important one that can help you. I hope in writing this that we all can relate on more of a personal level and that you too can write what God is doing in your life. I want to let you all know you guys rock! Thanks for taking the time to read what I had to say and I look forward to reading what you all write :) God bless!

Such wisdom from such a young heart. The one thing I think I've learned is that Jesus Christ is the only relationship in my life that is solid. I may not like where He takes me or what He asks of me, but as I've gotten older, I know that when I've said "yes" to God I am changed. Working in Tot Town at church---not my thing, but after the last kid is picked up I feel so blessed. There's something so innocent & sweet about the way they sing about Jesus. They don't know the drama that high school friendships offer or what stress finances can cause a married couple. They just know "Jesus Loves Me" and they're happy.
Keep seeking His face & yes dear, you are never alone when you have Jesus in you. When you do feel by yourself, you seek Him harder and lean on Him further, for what He has in store for you will blow you away.
Thanks for sharing your sweet heart.
Love ya,
Lelia
