Today in English class, me, and the other two teenagers sitting at my table, started talking about church.
They have food at their church. They have parties on Sunday, and Cristian music turned up loud, so you can sing along at the top of your lungs.
My youth group doesn't have parties every Sunday (though we do have pizza every Sunday). We don't have music turned up real loud for you to sing at the top of your lungs (though we do have music-and some where written by one of my fellow teenagers himself). Yea, where in our church's fellowship hall, because the youth wing is being built right now.
But let me tell you about the people of my youth group-no, not the stuff we have, not the food we eat, not the music we listen to. The people.
Their is one who is the leader of our praise band. He plays the guitar, and sings with his heart wide open. You can tell his one desire is to be closer to God. He writes his own music, and sometimes blesses us by sharing it with us.
Their is one girl is a Spiritual Giant, even though she is smaller then most Freshman. She seeks God with an open heart, and seeks Him with everything she does. Jesus shines in her where ever she goes.
Another girl is a leader of the group (along with the two teenagers described above). She speaks the word of God with her words, and actions. She is my role-model and mentor. She has helped me eased into my new youth group, when I wasn't sure about what I should do.
My youth minster thinks of fun games, and creative ways at looking at things. He is serious about his faith, willing to stand up for God no matter what happened. He helps us with our struggles, gives us advice when this path where on, this Journey with God, gets rough, and we're not sure if where going to make it through.
These are a just a couple of people I could tell you about. As a whole, this youth group is after God's own heart. I see the love of God in them, shining back at me every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wed. night. I see them go through struggles, but still trusting God all the way.
I am very blessed to have such amazing youth group. I pray to God that He will bless each and every one of them for the rest of their days.
