I havn't been on the forums in forever.

But yet why do people feel they need to sin to feel good is the question.

they're not. They dont even like eachother.

very soon shes going to be on the jr. high worship team (we're finally splitting them up) and she's defiantly not leaving. The other guy is faithless, he's already lost so i dont care about him. I am giving it over to him...but im trying to get this resolved as fast i can because spirit west coast is this weekend and everybody is going except for me and her.. I dont want her to hang out with the guy again and do it, while all her friends/supporters are out of town.. Im trying to make amends so i can be there for her this weekend..but i dont know how successful i'll be.

And the Lord's given me a vision of another friend being stripped of all his wordly items and being 'struck down' to where he's going to have to run to the Lord. I know its going to happen at night and i just found out he's not going to SWC so it really really sounds like its going to happen this weekend and i need to be there for him to help him back. He's on the worship team too......but has changed so much in the past like 6 months and the Lords going to do something. Im excited and scared at the same time =\

God has given me amazing wit. about 80% of that time the wit is used for jokes, story telling, conversation and whatnot... the other 20% of the time that wit is kicked into high gear and i use it for the Lords pourposes....and......im nearly stumbling over my words...its wierd..

Tough man, its sad when kids make poor choices so early on in their lives. It happens to a lot of people but just keep at it. I can tell that you don't like seeing her go astray from God. It seems pretty common from people I've talked to that were really close and had a strong relationship with God. Then during their teenage years at some point they started to stray away from him and eventually came back. Pray that it won't happen with her and that she'll come back now.

Premarital sex is becoming ever more common. We were given a statistic during my youth group a few months ago that in a group of aproximately 30 chances are atleast 1 of them has had premarital sex. It doesn't help that society keeps telling us that its alright. And it isn't, its very tempting and it certainly doesn't help when it seems that everyone at school does it, society approves. I can see how she fell.

I'll keep praying for you man. Gods going to keep using you;I'm sure of it. Maybe if you can make amends by this weekend you and her could do something? Possibly preventing her from doing something she'll regret later on. Just an idea.

thats what im trying to do.....on monday when a christian friend asked me 1st period if i was going to go to SWC i was like "well i havent decided yet" and then i remebered lauren was the only one staying home too..and i realized what i had to do. then i mess it up =\

I almost feel like its my fault too.. I had taken an 'interest' in her (shes one of the cutest girls i've ever met) and word on the street was that I liked her. It started because we had exchaned some text's back and forth and i threw some really dank stuff out there...and then everybody was like "that'd be so awesome if you guys went out" and yada yada.. I had been a bit apprehensive and could have been way more forward with it and possibly showed her that something better was available - Me. Hhahahhahaha... I keep replaying our conversation and she says "It still makes me sad".. I dont think she understands that i want to be there for her, and i do want to be her friend again... she did say "everybody makes mistakes" but... im afraid its going to take alot to build the friendship back up =\

Everyone make sure that you're having a positive impact on people while you're still in contact right now. Chances are the summer is when people will do stuff they'll regret later on if they do; do that. People won't have school and "Won't have anything better to do."

I look forward to the summer too. Just gotta finish up my finals next week.

yea yea yea. I dont know if i've ever talked to him.. I just "know" him really. It's somebody elses job, not mine


I need scripture on worrying. If anybody has some, please toss it my way..

I've made it my job to keep my friends faith up and to carry them through this life. I figure once we get their faith steady, we can move on.. but with ~8 people, its going to be an a(nnnnnooooooo!!! I sooooo had a word... argous...arbitrary? gah.. i so had a word to use) task.

[Mastermind26]

Not sure if I got scripture on worrying for ya Chris, but I do have a question:
why is it someone else "job"? What if it all boils down to you winning "him"? Remember Christ came seeking the lost (him). He sent us to the lost (him). We were all lost until someone talked to us about God's Love and wonderful salvation.

Keep that in mind bro!

Hmmmmm. Worry, well how about good 'ol Matthew 6:25-34:

25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Going to my frist exam.... Wish me luck PLEASE!
