I was feeling kinda bored and I felt like it would be a really great to start a blog or something. And I really felt the issue on my heart to write about the daily struggles that I and I am sure many other Christian teenagers face, when are literally plopped into a very, very, very secular world. I started high school this year, and wow talk about a shock!!!! I have gone to public school my whole life, so I thought I would be prepared for high school life. Butt no, I was kinda of wrong, actually way wrong. I mean every other world out of most people's mouths is a cuss word. I am one of those goody-two-shoes who does not believe in cussing. I am sorry if that offends someone reading this, but that is how I feel. And some of the purverted, vulgar, disgusting things that people say to me and others is disgusting. (Especially the guys--no offense, again) It is corrupting my mind and many times I just cover my ears and tell the people that I am too young and innocence to listen to all of this. That sounds really lame and stupid, but it works. The things that I have to go through everyday at school is just plain terrible. And I always feel like I am the only one whoever has these feelings of being like the only Christian around in your school. So if there is any other Christian teeenagers out there who always, well at least most of the time feel like they are all alone in there Christian public school walk, and are not sure what to do, pleae tell me. And maybe we can encourage each other. And who knows we could even all rise up together and make a difference. Hey, you never know??? : )))))
Great blog entry! I am a recent graduate of high school, so I know what you are going through. I am in college now, but I still deal with some of the issues that I had to contend with in high school. Fowl-mouthed coworkers, perverted conversations, and the like. Those things can permeate your spirit and take your mind to places that you didn't want to go, but you must stay prayerful, and guard your spirit. Don't just cover your ears when filthy conversations arise! Walk away. Take a stand. I am sure that you are not the only person in your school who wants to live for God, and maybe others will be encouraged by your courage.
Another thing you mentioned was feeling alone. The road that we, as Christians, have chosen to travel is a narrow one. Our Bible tells us that we are not the majority, but that doesn't mean that God will leave you defenseless and alone. This is why He gives us His Holy Spirit to help lead and guide us. We are never alone! Having said that, God also knows where we are and what we need, and God knows that you need an encouraging friend to lean on for support during this time. I just want to let you know that I am here for encouragment or advise or if you just need to vent! God Bless!
