Teen Thursday -Mirror



The Teens have their own blog now!  Our Generation Seeking Him.  Every author is a teen seeking God and wanting to encourage other teens while sharing their experiences as Christians. So I thought that I would post part of one of their posts here every week.

This post was written by Shelby for "Daughter of the King".  It is in the "Eve's Peeps" blog for the girls.


 
 
Mirror


The reason why I drew this picture, was because some girls, when they look in the mirror, they see the small things at a bigger scale. God see's you as a princess, and loves you, even if you have a pimple, glasses, braces or whatever. He loves you for you. The world doesn't care about your heart, only what you look like. God cares about what's on the inside, and to Him, that's beautiful.

This is from Jenny Lucado's devotional, ' Redefining Beautiful'

Some days I like him. Most days I hate him. But I do have to admit, he's honest. He'll always tell me if I have food in my teeth or a booger in my nose. He isn't afraid to let me know if a certain shirt is too tight or if a color doesn't complement my skin. I appreciate the honesty, but he is deceiving all the same. Deceiving because anytime he tells me, " Just get this cute shirt and feel better about yourself" or " Just lose five pounds and be forever happy," it doesn't work. I'm never good enough for him.

I try not to hang out with him too much, or else I can easily fall into his trap of discouragement - " Jenna, I see that cellulite back there. Your skin is looking pretty oily these days. Those teeth could use come whitening!" I try to block out his lies that tell me I'm not good enough, that I'm not beautiful, but it's hard.

I'm sure you've met him. He tends to pop up in all sorts of places: bathrooms, cars, department stores, gyms. And I'm sure you've felt some of these insecurities when standing in front of him.

Teen Thursday - We Need To Be Content

 
 
 
The Teens have their own blog now!  Our Generation Seeking Him.  Every author is a teen seeking God and wanting to encourage other teens while sharing their experiences as Christians. So I thought that I would post part of one of their posts here every week.  Don't worry about missing Shelby, she is one of the authors! 
 
 
This post was written by Krystl for "During 'Home School 101'", which is about being a Christian home schooled teen.
 
We Need To Be Content

Have you ever wondered why God has you as a home schooler?
Do you ever wish sometimes that you could just be a normal kid and go to school like everyone else? 
One thing I've definitely been going through as a home schooler is I always wished that I could go to school. I always want to know why God has me in this position. I would always ask, "God why do you have me as a home schooler? Wouldnt it be better if I went to school so I could witness to people about you?"

Teen Thursday


The Teens have their own blog now!  Our Generation Seeking Him.  Every author is a teen seeking God and wanting to encourage other teens while sharing their experiences as Christians. So I thought that I would post part of one of their posts here every week.  Don't worry about missing Shelby, she is one of the authors!  


This post was put in the "Standing @ My Locker" section which is about Christian Teens in public school. 

I have been in public school since kindergarten, so I really don't know any different than what goes on there, and the struggles that I face being a Christian growing up in a public school. But one thing that any Christian in a public school setting would say is that, IT IS NOT EASY!!! There are "giants" to face around every single corner. To some people, the way that we live as a Christian is just ridiculous. They just don't understand the entirety of growing up the way that we have.

So, what I'm going to start out with is a few questions, just to get you thinking about different aspects of being a Christian in public school....

Q. What do you want people to think about you?

A. For me I want people to know that I am a Christian. I don't care what they have to say about it, they can think what they want. I don't want them to think that I am ashamed of my faith... What good will that do in reaching out to them?

Q. Do you get discouraged by your peers and teachers?

A. For me, the majority of my peers and teachers do not share my faith. They just don't understand the things that I believe. But, then there are the few that I know are Christians, and I can talk to them if I start to feel discouraged. From experience I can say that it isn't fun to be "alone" in school. It can feel like you are the only one that is following God's way and you can reach the point where you are asking yourself why God is putting you through this. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to us, but in the end God has a plan for us, and a reason that we are in a public school. As long as you stick to your faith and lay your life, struggles, and problems at God's feet, then you will pull through, and be an example for those around you.



"Pile your troubles on God's shoulders- he'll carry your load, He'll help you out. He'll never let good people topple into ruin." ~Psalm 55:22~

Q. Are you willing to stand up for what you believe in?

Teen Thursday - Hosted by Shelby Sharp - "Hurting With Those In A World Of Hurt"


Hey Teen Team!'m a 15 year old Jesus freak and I'm here to host Teen Thursday.

I'm back again with a brand new " Hot Topic" and question.
I know we will have a good time.

Let's get to know Jesus better. You and me.



Verse of the Week: Romans 12:15
When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow.













This week's "Hot Topic" 



HURTING WITH THOSE IN A WORLD OF HURT

The phone ringing in the middle of the night jarred the young pastor awake. " Pastor, our daughter..." the voice on the phone choked. " She was in a bad car accident tonight. She's in sugery and...we're not sure...she'll make it."
The pastor dressed quickly and hurried to the hospital, praying all the way. When he arrived, tear-streaked faces told the story. The girl had died in surgery. He tried to say something to the parents, but he couldn't get the words out. He just sat and sobbed with the heartbroken mom and dad.
Not much later the girl's parents moved away, and the young pastor didn't see them for several years. When the pastor ran into them at a conference, he fumbled for words. " I have and apology to make," he said. " The night your daughter died, I failed you. I just cried. I'm should have read Scripture to you and offer you words of hope. But I didn't. I just cried.  I'm so sorry I let you down that night."
" You didn't let us down, Pastor," the girl's dad said. " What you did brought us great comfort. You felt our hurt and cried with us. You shared more than words with us: you shared your heart. And we will always be grateful."
Deep lesson: The pastor thought he failed. But what he actually did was show the kind of sympathy Jesus showed.
If people slam into sorrow or disappointment, the first thing they need to is someone who feels their pain. When his friend Lazarus died (see John 11), Jesus cried with Lazarus's sisters, Mary and Martha. Why didn't Jesus just say, " Don't cry, ladies. Give me a few minutes and I'll have Lazarus back from the dead."? Because at that exact moment what they needed was someone to cry with them. So Jesus did. Later he performed the miracle that turned sorrow into joy.
If you have family members and friends who hurt, the greatest gift you can give is to sorrow with them. Comfort isn't a pep talk nudging someone to "hang in there." God is in control and everything will be ok. Those things might be helpful later, but they don't deliver what people need most: comfort.
People walloped by hurt find comfot when they know they aren't suffering alone. So when a friend is crushed with sorrow or disappointment, feel crushed too. And it's ok to say something like, " I'm so sad for you" or, " I hurt for you" or, " I'm sorry you are hurting." It's what Jesus would do.
SO LET'S CHAT
What does comfort look like when you show it to hurting friends?
Pray for your friends who need God's help - and ask God to use you to comfort them.

Teen Thursday - Hosted by Shelby Sharp - "Free At Last, I'm Free At Last"


Hey Teen Team!'m a 15 year old Jesus freak and I'm here to host Teen Thursday.

I'm back again with a brand new " Hot Topic", questions, and a funny video clip.
I know we will have a good time.

Let's get to know Jesus better. You and me.


Verse of the Week: 
Romans 8:5 "You are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit."







  This week's "Hot Topic" 

Free At Last, I'm Free At Last
 
  She was a slave. She hadn't believed the rumors of people snatched from their huts and abducted to an unknown land until it happened to her. Chained for months in the dungeon-like hull of a ship, she feared she would die in bondage. After she endured years of hard labor and merciless beatings, the Union army marched into her town. Now an officer stands before her. " You are no longer controlled by your master. You are free."
He was a gang member. Not by choice. As gangs warred in his neighborhood, he needed protection. Trying to stay neutral brought threats to him and his family. Soon, after he joined, he was forced to make his first drug run. Later came gang fights, vandalism,  robberies. Late one night, while holding a loaded gun to the head of a boy from a rival gang, his heart screams, ' I don't want to be controlled like this anymore!'
He was addicted. The first drink slid down easily. So did the second. A year later, getting drunk was a way of life for this high school senior. Without it he couldn't have any fun, couldn't fit in, couldn't escape ugly stuff at home. But when one of his drinking buddies landed in a coffin after a wild party, this student decided enough was enough. As he stands before a group at the finish of a rehab program, he declares, " I'm an alcoholic, but I no longer drink. I'm free!"
She was a victim. Three years had passed since her step-father first hit her. Each year got worse. she had feared what he would do if she reported his abuse, so she kept quiet. But with a close friend's encouragement, she called the police. ' He won't ever touch me again,' she thinks as the officers escort her step-father to the car.
' I'm free.'
  
Some people get the freedom they want. Others only hope for it. But the great news in Romans 8 is that the STRONGEST chains know to humanity have been broken. All of us, the Bible says, were born as slaves to sin, shackled by a habit of evil we can't escape on our own ( see Romans 8: 5-6)
But Jesus changed all that. When you trusted him, the chains fell off. Because of the power of the Holy Spirit living inside youm you don't have to sin anymore. Yep, you WILL sin from time to time because of you own weakness when you're poked by temptations from the world, the flesh, and the devil. But you don't HAVE to sin. You can CHOOSE to be controlled by the Holy Spirit instead of by sin. You are FREE. ( from: Josh McDowell's Youth Devotions 2)
SO LET'S CHAT
What freedoms do you enjoy because Christ and the Holy Spirit are active in your life? 
Jesus, you died to set me free from sin. I want your freedom in every area of my life.

If you have a hard time with getting a "profile" to publish your comment you can #1 set up a Google account..which is just your email addy and your password. It just allows you to have a profile to comment..nothing more. #2 you can choose to the "name/URL" profile. All you need is , again, your email addy, and a URL. You can get a URL by going to YOUR Profile page on Facebook...copy and paste the URL found at the top of the page...the "http:// blah blah blah...." and put that in where it asks for "URL". You will have to do that every time though, where getting a Google account will only be once..and it will recognize you every time.
