rebelling against low expectations
KATIE WRITES: A friend of mine at school is an atheist. She grew up in a Christian family, but struggles with a lot of questions that she wants answered. Yesterday, she told me that she was confused why her family always said, “We have free will,” but then other times said, “God has a plan for your life!” I told her that it was a tough question and that I didn’t know...
VICTORIA WRITES: After falling in love with a boy, and then watching him date my friend, I have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I was depressed, then mad, then okay, then sad, and so on. A couple times, I surrendered him to the Lord — trusting in God’s perfect plan for my life, and then, a couple days later, forgot, and was sad again. I want to be done. My flesh wants to just...
LYDIA WRITES: I am having issues with a certain guy in my youth group and I’m not sure how to send him the message that I am not interested without being unduly rude. I care about him as a friend and, therefore, want to continue a relationship on that level but I do not want him to get the wrong ideas. I have told him that the only relationship I am interested in is my relationship with...
KATIE WRITES: A couple girls in my history class are sharing notes and class discussion answers even when the teacher specifically told us not to. They ask other people who have already taken the test about the questions on it even though they aren’t supposed to, because it’s considered cheating. Two of the girls in the group are in my homeroom and they talk about it all the time in...
K. WRITES: Okay, so I’m the newest member of my youth group (the only 8th grader and homeschooler). I’ve gone to this church my whole life. I was really excited to finally move up into the tight knit youth group. Unfortunately when I moved up I realized three things: 1. My youth group of 12 people is made up of really popular kids 2. They aren’t that welcoming and are...
GABRIELLE WRITES: I have mixed feelings about this topic. It seems that it might be okay as long as the dare is not anything illegal or dangerous, right? The dare could even be something like, “Share your salvation testimony with someone,” or “Don’t say anything negative to your siblings.” Overall, is it really okay? Is it just a waste of time? Since it’s...
ALANA WRITES: Lately, I’ve been in a slump where I know I have to do something, but in the end nothing is usually done. I want to want to do hard things, but I’m backsliding on this commitment. How do I get out of this? What tricks have you discovered for staying motivated? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7 Comment(s) Have something else you’d...
JOY WRITES: As a teenager I always hear, “Do whatever you believe God wants you to do” or “Find God’s will for your life and follow it.” So my question is… How?! How do I know if God wants me to go to college or enlist in the military? How do I seek God’s will as a teenage Christian? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7...
ELIZABETH WRITES: How do you feel about God or Jesus representations? Like the ones BlimeyCow do in their videos to be sarcastic? I was just wondering what you guys thought about that subject. I know some people who consider it un-Christian and some who consider it completely harmless. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!
