Here We Go Again- Standing @ My Locker

Hey Everyone!

So, it has been a really long time since I last posted anything on here. And as most of you can probably believe, it's because life as a teenager is CRAZY! I just want to take some time to share a little bit about my life with you. And I would love to hear about your experience with your first day back to school!

I was working at a Christian camp this summer and loved the environment that I was in all the time with other Christians surrounding me. Then, the end of the summer came and it was time for school to start again. I was nervous going back in as I am sure a lot of you guys were too. I didn't know what it would be like because I was away from all my friends for the majority of the summer.

A couple weeks before school started I found myself not really knowing where I stood with God, and was concerned that I would be starting school on the wrong note. So all I could do was trust in God to get me through and talk to some people from church for help. So, the first day of school came and I began to just see God in curtain situations at school. I could tell that He was leading me away from the things other people were doing and getting me to shine a light for Him.

I have to stand strong and look to God through absolutely everything. Sometimes it takes stepping back and analyzing your behavior to see whether or not you are doing the right thing.

So, I hope that everyone is having a good time back at school and adjusting well!


There is just one other thing that I want to mention to you all. I had a benefit concert over the summer to benefit a local soup kitchen, and that was a point in my life where it just hit me that God was working through me to help other people and get His word to others! That night we raised over $1,000 and many cans and food items! All I could do was stand in amazement and thank God for everything that He did!

My challenge to you is, to not only just slide through high school or middle school, but to step up, stand out and make a difference for other people. By doing this, you could be showing someone else what it is like to be living in the Light of God!

Thanks!
Abbie :)

When friendship hurts

Have you ever been in a friendship that hurt so much it made you want to give up? You’ve tried to be nice, but it seems like your friend is always bringing you down. You’ve done everything you can, but nothing you do seems to change anything or anyone for the better. Sometimes you feel so used up and wrung out that it hurts to smile. You wonder if you should keep putting yourself out there to be a friend. That’s totally understandable. Life is hard, and people will disappoint you! But don’t let this stop you in your tracks.

This is when you ask God to be your partner. When the situation is way too big to handle yourself, and you can’t see a way out, it’s definitely a two-man (okay, a God-and-woman) job. It’s human nature to try to handle it yourself, but some situations are impossible without supernatural help. God will intervene in human business as far as someone invites him to, so start asking.

So when you feel like you’re dangling over the relationship cliff and you’ve made yourself hoarse from screaming in frustration, the story isn’t over yet. Tell God where you hurt. He knows the hurt that this person caused you. Ask him what to do about this painful relationship. He will help you make progress or move on.

I got this off the Revolve tour website :D

Treat other how you would want to be treated

Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake: But he that shall endure until the end, the same shall be saved.
I think Jesus is very clear in this verse. We as believers are going to be hated by the world for what we believe. Ive been going through a hard time recently because theres a certain girl that I want to like me because I have to see her and stuff but she doesnt like me cause of my beliefs. NOW I've read this verse tons of times before but it never hit me like iot did last night when I was doing my devotions. In the begining of the verse it says: And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake. Example: I think that girl doesnt like me because I choose to live my life according to the Bible. But... the rest of the verse says: but he that shall endure till the end, the same shall be saved. Just because people dont like us doesnt mean we need to be sad or upset about it. We just need to pray for them and treatthem like we would want to be treated. I remember someone I really look up to giving me advice on this situation before and before she told me what I should do she said im sorry you know

"people are jerks"

and I couldnt agree more but we need to be careful about what we say and what we do or e could turn into that jerk that people dont really like.
