This week at my youth group our sermon was about Hurting. Are we hurting?
All of us are hurting in someway. Whether it's physically or mentally. Some people hurt a lot, some only a little. EVERYONE is hurting.
I've been hurting for quite a while now, 2 years. I've had an off and on relationship with my mom. She did things that I HATED and I got so mad at her. It's hard to forgive her cause of everything she has done, but I know I have to. Some people hurt because of a relationship, some cause of friends, some cause of family members. We're all going to hurt sometime in our lives, but God will be there with us through it all.. if you accept him to be there.
God loves us, ALL of us. Not one of us is someone he doesn't love. He gave his LIFE for us to live. Remember that when you're doubting God, he loves us.

My walk with God.
My walk with God has been a pretty bumpy ride. With twists and curves and choosing the wrong path multiple times. This is a little piece of my walk with God..
I always went to a Christian Church with my parents and loved going cause I got to be on the worship team they had for the kids. I had lots of friends at my church and didnt really have any problems with God..but I didnt really accept him into my heart. I moved out to Texas about 3 years ago and things went down from there..I stopped praying, reading my bible, and just really connecting with God. It stayed like that for a long time, it got even worse..I started listening to secular music, hanging out with the wrong people, doing things I shouldnt and sometimes even cussing.. It got bad, and I knew I had to do something but I didn't want to change. I didnt go to church for about 3 months, and I finally started going to church again. I started building a relationship with him but, I didn't accept him into my heart and let him reign over me and be by my side. He was there, but not with me.
I think what you call me is a fake worshiper. That's what I was pretty much. Some people are like that and I was kind of one of those people. I'd go to church and worship and tell everyone I loved God and then when I came home it was totally different. Im still trying to get to the point where I dont have to be a fake worshipper. I want God to be in my heart, I want to accept him as my Saviour. I've prayed over some kids in VBS a few times. Whether it was little things, or big things. It feels really good to do that and I hope that I can be a prayer partner someday at my church. I love working with kids also, so who knows! Maybe i'll be working with kids instead. But, for now im just focusing on becoming a REAL worshipper. Someone that doesnt just go to church cause they have to, someone that WANTS to go to Church..and loves worshipping God.
I'd love to hear your walk with God. Leave a comment and let me know. (:
