Im 51 and didn't become a Christian until i was 41, and even then, didnt serve Him. I didn't know anything about that, UNTIL i got hooked up to a church that had wonderful ministry leaders seeking to lead the lost and newborns into a relationship with the Lover of our Souls !!! man, what a difference that made for me.... i'll quit rambling.... have a great time...<BR/><BR/>your new friend in wichita, <BR/>jilljill whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09713648643317519043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-65365900575009729852009-03-26T23:01:00.000-05:002009-03-26T23:01:00.000-05:00I agree with them all.

I just wanted to say that I agree with the other comments. Just be yourself and be as transparent as you can. I have a special place in my heart for teenage girls, because I know all the mistakes I made and I wish I could help all of them avoid the same ones. The best advice I ever got was "don't give up what you want the most for something that you think you want right now." I wish someone had explained that to me when I was a teenage girl!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471812330344754688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-27192675099655527552009-03-26T16:02:00.000-05:002009-03-26T16:02:00.000-05:00uh, keri... just share with them what you just sha...uh, keri... just share with them what you just shared in your post. that was great, honest and from the heart. teenage girls aren't going to listen if you aren't being totally honest, for some reasons, they can tell when it's all just talk and not real, know what i mean? i think you'll do great and i wish i could come!Stacy Himes Schochlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345457622916978830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-63627196694119236432009-03-26T16:01:00.000-05:002009-03-26T16:01:00.000-05:00You are going to do an amazing job!

I know God will give you exactly the right things to say.<BR/><BR/>I am very passionate about teen girls ... it is the time I spent working with Teen Moms. I so badly want to empower them ... help them to love themselves ... to encourage them to grow in their relationship to God.<BR/><BR/>*sigh* You will be great!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-65669685530207489602009-03-26T15:05:00.000-05:002009-03-26T15:05:00.000-05:00You know, I feel that way often, as though I'm suc...You know, I feel that way often, as though I'm such a frustrating child to God. I think one of the biggest things for me was learning that I am enough. Just me as I am. I used to think "once I do this, I'll be a good Christian. Once I read my bible every day, once I sin less, once I..." But the pressure that came with that was too intense to survive that kind relationshop with God. Once I learned that He made me, He is okay with, I am enough just like this...man that made a huge difference. It made me want to pursue a deeper relationship because I understood that He really did love me, that I didn't have to earn it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-6034679533337615352009-03-26T15:02:00.000-05:002009-03-26T15:02:00.000-05:00I will never forget the conversation I had with Go...I will never forget the conversation I had with God when I was hearing Him call me to switch church campuses and go into youth ministry. My biggest complaint to Him while we were having our 'discussion' was:<BR/><BR/>"But God - I can't do this. I have nothing to say to these students!"<BR/><BR/>His reply,<BR/><BR/>"You're right. But I have everything to say to them."<BR/><BR/>I admire your obedience and I have no doubt God will show up big time to this event. I'm so proud of you! <BR/><BR/>Can I wear a t-shirt that night that says, 'This is my sister' (with an arrow pointing to you)? :)<BR/><BR/>lisalsprkrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202270071363314013noreply@blogger.com
