So, normally *even though I'm far from normal* i would be posting on Poseur Fan Site, but i thought that this is one blog that has to be put on the original, good 'ole Poseur ♥.
These days in my youth group, a lot of people don't come to talk to/and about God, or learn more about him- they just come to socialize.
And I'd be a liar if i said i haven't been one of those people. But, my youth group is splitting up-
everyone is screwing up their lives;
giving in;
getting out;
taking away;
and it seems there are very few who now have a committed walk with Jesus....
Sneaking out, lust, moving, drugs, alcohol, sex, peer pressure..it's all stuff that can tear people apart- but the real thing i think that's causing our youth group "population" to dwindle?
us.
Many of us abide by the "well, I'm a teenager, and this is my time to try new things and have no regrets; live my life to the fullest!" and we shouldn't! We need to be living by how God wants us to live the life He gave us. And that doesn't include living like God didn't put a good head on your shoulders!
Another thing is, a lot of us are weak. Dead to humanity when it comes to peer pressure. We give in, in an instant. Trying to fit in, trying to look "cool", trying to act like someone we aren't. Being rebellious.
And i think it's time it stops.
I'm sick of trying to pick up the pieces, and being included in the negative assumptions people have after they've heard a few things about what a couple of people are doing! And i know I'm not the only one who feels this way-
seriously! How hard is it to JUST SAY NO. Think through the freaking consequences. That's why we have them! So we fear the punishment-and it stops us from doing things we'll regret.
Personally? I've given up on half of our group. I'm sick of them, I'm sick of being around them, and I'm sick of trying to show them the right way. Right now, I've gotten closer to God, I've stopped trying to fit in and just be myself...and if i get made fun of, who cares? Not me..not anymore. I'm now not afraid to stand up for myself, for my beliefs, for my God, for my family and friends, i am fearless to sin. And I'm happily radiating God's love for me and humanity, and helping my friends; one at a time.
This week's goal?
Think it through...
