I haven't posted anything lately on here because I haven't had anything to say. And now I do...
Now I have a lot to say.
You want the truth... Youth group sucks. It sucks major. I don't care if you agree with me or not. To me, it sucks. Due to some happenings, I have not gone to youth group for 3 weeks, and from what I have heard from some people, it is a good thing.
We use to have the a group of strong Christians, that shared a tight bond. We use to hang out together, all of us, and make great memories. We use to have a strong support group of multiple friends that could get us through the hard times. Now... now we have gossip, and talking about others behind backs, we no longer hang out, and our support "group" has dwindled in strength. You can deny it all you want, but from the outside looking in, it is all so brutely true.
We are all still strong Christians, I do not doubt that at all. But what has happened is that the Devil is destroying a wonderful thing, and at the moment, he is winning. He has put this lie in our heads that why we don't hang out that much anymore is that "We are reaching out to the new people to help the church." I do not want us to stop reaching out. Reaching out is great. But this should not be our exuse for not hanging out. We still need our other friends to pull us through the hard times. New Christians do not have the same wisdom and understanding that "veteran" Christians do. We still need our close friendships!!! But we can't have a close friendship with anyone if there is gossip and trash talk going around.
I have cried many tears and prayed many prayers over all of us. But now I leave it in all of your hands(and God's). PLEASE!!! I beg you, let us get back to how we use to be, so we can start to grow again and be life giving. Don't let the Devil win.
I do understand that with me being gone for awhile, some of this could have changed. But from my understanding, it hasn't
