Welcome to Christians Today
Hey sisters in Christ, welcome to the Christian Today page
where we discuss issues about being a Christian and stuff
Growing up too fast
Independence
Everyone wants their own independence, but some want it a little too much than they need it. Some people
that just because they are a certain age, they can do whatever they want to do, some things that they will
DEFINITELY regret.
Thinking you are older enough for...
Some people think that when they are 16, 18 or whatever, they could lose their mind and go wild and become
someone or something that they might soon lose control over and then it will lead into things that you hear
about like drugs, alcohol etc. and they could lose everything like family, friends etc.
Modesty Forgotten
These days people have forgetten about modesty BIG time. I bet a quarter of the population between the ages
of 13 and 21 do not know what is means. People wear high heals and perfume and SO makeup at the ages of 8,
Now that is scarey. I mean people wanna look pretty and all but come on, it has stepped over the line TOO
MUCH, its unbelievable!
Conclusion
So in conclusion, I think we should all just remember that we are Christians that we should just think about
what we are doing and we should just enjoy our childhood whilst its here because it only comes once and if
we grow up too fast, we are definitely going to miss it.
Giving into Temptation
We all do it in some how, way or form. But how to stop giving in is what we need to do...................
Thinking of the of the consequences
So for instance, your friends ask you what are you doing over the weekend and you say nothing. So they
invite you to this party at a club. You have heard very bad things that have been happening in this club,
however you don't want to look too goody like and wanna show them that you are up for it. Think of the
consequences first. What might happened there? You hear about all of the gun violence and kidnapping and
all sort. Do you really want to put yourself in danger?
Is it really necessary?
So what is the benefit of doing the temptation? Back to the club situation, you might think that going to the
club will make you more acceptable with your friends. But if there are REALLY your friends, then there should
accept you for who you are and will still be your friend whether you go to the party or not.
What will God think of this?
The ultimate question is what will God think of this. Would you think God that God will be happy with you going
around and partying, possibly getting drunk and all sorts of things? If you really want to please God and got
to heaven, the obvious thing is to to what is right, because in the end, it is God who judges who goes to heaven
and hell, not your peers.
Balancing being a Christian and being a 21st Century Teen
Well, dont worry, I am one too so dont panic.
Its really hard being a christian and a girl in this century and coping with stress, school, friends, God etc.
But I have a few ways of help all you guys be the best you can at everything
Make a scrapbook
You can get any old book or any book ( which has no words in it of course) and get random photo of you and your friends have lots of fun, like going shopping or just pulling faces. You can write poems, songs, lyrics, speeches, letters etc. anything that whenever you come back to look in it, you would just, well, smile and make you feel great when you are down in the dumps
Be closer to God
OK, this has to be on the hardest one you can do, however, it can be done. First, find a youth club or some sort of christian union in your school. If you have not got one, start one! ok it might be embarrassing in front of your friends (believe me) but it is worth it in the end when you go to heaven and live in purity. Try to pray everyday (especially in the morning and evening) about what is going to be happening soon or maybe tomorrow, who knows. Just think God as you perfect parents ( dont worry you can still treat your parents like your parents) and tell him everything and let him into your hearts and explain your worries and concern and ask him for guidance and help and support. God knows everything and know when you need help, Its the matter of you asking him, that he WOULD help you.
Friends
Now you have to choose if you have good or bad friends. Now I know the majority of you guys will say oh of course I have good friends but hold on a minute and think about it. Are they really loyal to you? Do they treat you as a really good friend and take you seriously? Do you just tag along with them and dont actually fit in? this list can go on and on but the bottom line is are your friends REALLY your friends? because there is no point of just trying to fit in if you are no one of them to be honest. Just be yourself and be with the people who like your character. I'm not saying that they have to have the same personality as you but like I said the same character and sticks up for you and cares about you. That what makes a REAL friend!
Stress
Yep, everyone has stress in different ways. Sometimes I think that I have it every minute of the day so instead I have an alternative to make me relax and feel great. So if you are at school, college, uni or at work, what you can do is go to the toilet, drink a glass of cold H2O, wash your face with warm water, wept you face with some tissue or a towel and say in the mirror. I love me and God, and walk out, head tall, back straight and a big smile and trust me you will feel much better ( I wouldn't have told you if it didn't work). If you are at home, you can have a lovely spa day. Have a soothing bubble bath with an avocado face mask which you can get at a chemists or any supermarket and then a bath bomb ( a type of bath item which make you feel good and has a lovely smell). You can a manicure, pedicure and a massage. Just break free from all of the stress and feel calm
School
One of the places we really dont want to go to is school, but we all need our education blah blah blah. So basically we all need to try and do our best in school and become SMART people ( like me, just kidding). Try to revise that little bit in Biology or try to put mor effort into answering the qusetions in History. Try not to doze off because the teacher is going on and on about something that does not interests you. Instead try and listen and maybe you migh learn something that you never knew and be more prepared for the exam later on.
I have give you guys a few pointers of how to become the BEST. Now all you have to do is to follow them!
