My Idea

Hey! This is my very first blog post on a blog that I hope will reach lots of people. I guess this first post should be about what the purpose of my blog is. Well, here it is: I am a Christian, and I am trying to make it the center of my life. I want to be an encouragement to all Christians, and especially teenagers. I want to help others live a life for Christ. I want us to be the brightest lights we could be, so that our peers wonder what it is that we’re smiling about. Why we are so joyous, and why we have hope.

                It isn’t easy. Our culture tells us that we should just do what makes us happy, because life is short. To an extent, that is true. But if you all take on this journey with me, it won’t be easy all the time. There will be days when we want to live out our roles as evangelizers, but are just so tired, or are in a bad mood, or just failed a test. But I have faith God will strengthen us- even when we just want to give up, and be like everyone else. God understands, and he will give you the strength; just remember to ask.  Being a faithful Christian won’t make us happy all the time. I don’t want to mislead you to believe that. But going on this mission will be so, so, so much more rewarding than keeping our head down and just getting through the teen years. We are so much more than society gives us credit for.  I think that we can make Christianity so meaningful, such a way of life, that others can’t help but look into it; if we are just willing to take that step.

                There are a lot of things that made me want to start this blog. Mostly, I have been thinking about this a lot. I think we need a revamp of Christianity, especially in teenagers. I think that it would be so great if teens looked at Christianity as a lifestyle, and really had it influence everything they did. I know a lot do, but I have struggled with it- with Christianity being my religion, not my way of life.  I am in no way a scholar on the Bible, and I’m not even an adult. But I had an idea to share my thoughts with people, and that’s what I’m doing.
