"Found God again in a moving box"

Ok through the move and the stress I feel like I have been negleting my religion and forgotten about my relationship with God. I have recently "found god again in a moving box" Since its been getting easier and Im finally settled in, my mom made me go to youth group wich I was wondering how am I going to find the time to do that again. Well when wednesday night came I connd a friend into going with me. Well it turned about we both took interest in going so my mom would take us every wednesday night. So we cant wait for wednesday night to roll around. Well it was a few weeks ago that I was gonna be late for church because I was coming home from a dentist apointment so I was trying to call my friend and let her know we might be a little late picking her up. Well I could get a hold of her that night so I though o well. Well it turns out she went to youth group wednesday night on her own with out me having to ask. I felt happy that she was going on her own now. So a couple weeks ago I asked my friend other good if she would like to go. It turns out she was babysitting. So I tried again this wednesday and called her up and asked her again, I could tell by the way she talked that she wasnt really looking forward to it but she said ok. Well she went and enjoyed herself aswell. Now she is coming back next week with us again. But after that night we decided one of our other good friends should hear what our youth group discussion was all about because we knew she needed to hear this. So hopefully the youth room will just keep getting bigger. (It already has, I can tell more people show up every wednesday night.) So nnow I have recently learned that it is never to late to rekindle your relationship with God (and spread his word) and plant many new seeds.

Academically Challenged

Now I have never been a math whiz and probably never will be But going through the grades it just keeps getting harder. I am in 8th grade math but should be in algebra 1. I was doing great at the beginning of the year until....hhhmmmm, ok ,it has been along time since I remember doing well. I just keep failing and failing and not getting it. I would go in for help and still not get it. Well I got a math tutor who is excellent! I thought my mom was crazy,but eventually after being grounded, going to tutoring 4 two hours and every chance I got, is finally paying off gradually. I have been exhausted from homework, chores, that I having been slacking on, tutoring and basketball practice I thought there was no way out and that the world was never going to stop spinning But God has proven me wrong and finally answered my prayers and has given me rest. My grades are getting better in math, I made my first A on my math test yesterday!! So...see....being a teenager doesn't always mean you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Just ask God to help take some off And it gradually gets lighter. I try to remember that God gives me these challenges because he knows I can achieve them Even if it takes a while. Just give it time and keep believing.

Not The Best on The Team.

I never really took too much of an interest in Basketball but I thought I would give it a try for my dad. I thought he would be proud to see me try something new. Well it is not my favorite sport ever, but I enjoy being part of a team. Well my coach and I don't see eye to have over half the time probably because he is also my math teacher as well. He tends to have favorites. And as you can guess I'm his least. I know I'm not the best but he needs to try to give me a chance. I come to practice everyday and try as hard as I can not to screw up and try to make something of myself to be able to accomplish something for my team. Well the girls (favorites) will being doing a drill on the court as I watch from the side lines and wondering if I am ever going to get to run this drill(I'm not his first pick). I notice that his favorites will do something wrong and he just explains to them how it goes. Now when it finally becomes my turn I will do something wrong just like them and I get yelled at for it and how he complains that I wasn't paying attention when they were going over it on the court. He is wrong because I will be completely focused and paying attention. Well I still try and I have been getting better but I know this is not something that I will ever become good at. We'll see.

A teenagers point of view.

Ok. It seems that when you become a teenager that life as you know it is going to end. Or there is nothing to figure out and that you think you finally gotten it all figured out. There are many times when you feel like you want to shoot yourself or slap somebody around. Im still trying to figure out why that is, because my mom says it not just because you turned thirteen. Pssshhh yah right. haha. Bieng a teenager just keeps getting harder. The grades, sports emotion, and most of all, staying true to God. So as you read a little more about me you will learn that even though there are many difficulties of being a teenager I still find time to Live Laugh and Love.
