Gimme that fire…

 

Well, this song by Ambassador is very tight and plus he is from up north (like me, boi). “I” think that we should all ask for that fire from the big G.

My view of the day

 

It seems to me that no matter where we turn, God is always trying to speak to us.  Many times we may not want to listen because either 1)we are not liking where the message is coming from (ex: our parents, Sunday School Teacher, youth leader or ANY Adult), or 2) we want to keep on doing whatever we want.  Yes, it's true...we (teens) sometimes think we are unstoppable, undestructible and just plain fearless.  Did I forget know-it-alls?  May we be wise enough to make the right choices and stop thinking that every adult just wants to tell us what to do.  It's time we think that maybe, just maybe, they are telling us stuff so that we don't make the same mistakes they did.  We have to just stop making excuses for the way we act or the things we do.

Grow up for real

 
El G. Nie,
To share my ways of thinking; as a person who believes in God I
 think that we should think in a better way. Like who says that
your mom doesn’t let you go out with your friends because she doesn’t
trust you? I just turned 20 and I know I wasn’t let out because my
 parents didn’t trust my friends.  Really… they were right
people; to them they don’t really care about you… no matter
how tight you are and that’s big time when you are young and dumb.
Everybody is too busy trying to look good and have a good
time that they sometimes don’t care what they do to reach that.
Another issue I see here is the rush to leave home at 18 and
 be independent. That is stupid. When you hit 18 you are gonna see
there is no big difference.  You are still confused, still inexperienced,
still a baby. I still am even now. I left home and it’s been really
 hard. I started going to church lately and it’s been helping me .
But it’s not the same and independence is not what you are thinking.
Yeah you can do what you want but for what? To make dumb mistakes…. 
You are young and in church. You should see that we weren’t made
to think like the world and if you do then what’s the difference between
 you and a nonchristian? Get closer to God so you can grow up for
real. God bless.-Lana-

Hey Lana,
Thanks for sharing your views on past posts.  You said your parents didn’t trust your friends and they were right.  In my experience, I have let my parents down in little things when they trusted me so I knew then that I had to gain their trust.  You see my parents think that though a person may be a bad influence, the choice to do good or evil, to choose life or death lies within the individual. So when I messed up, I had to gain the trust back and also they check out my friends.  On behalf of all us young people, I will not say that being young = being dumb.  Yes, we may be inexperienced and our brains are not set to make certain decisions, but I do know young people who have made right choices and have not fallen in the traps to impress or do things just to say “been there, done that” as others do.
I agree with you about 18 being just a number as I had stated in my first post. It’s great that you started to go to church lately.  Even though you say it’s not the same, you are showing that you are thinking different because you are here trying to help other teens from making the same mistakes you made.  We are to think different and be different.  I bless you in the name of Jesus and declare your path to be clean and made straight.- El G. Nie

My Best friend is ignoring me

 

Hey El G. Nie, my best friend and I are really close,
 but lately it feels like shes ignoring me. She won’t
talk to me as much, and never wants to hang out.
please help!-Confused-

Dear Confused,
If I were in your shoes, I would find out and ask her directly, “what’s up?”  If this person is indeed your best friend then you should be able to be real with one another.  Who knows? maybe you have grown apart or something.  You will never know unless you ask.  If this person refuses to speak to you and doesn’t want to be your friend anymore, then keep your head up high and be thankful for the good times but move on.  You will find other friends who value you and treat you right.  Remember to bless and pray for her though and you will be free!
