Im Alive!

"Loudly I'll sing, loudly I'll live, giving you all I have to give, until the world knows the love that's made me so alive, I'm alive, I'm alive!"
How thankful I am to be alive!...and to have the ability to live "loudly" for Jesus! Ever since coming to South Aiken High from South Aiken Christian, and over the years of watching people make the transition between the two schools, I've seen so many good kids start getting into a lot of junk. Bad mouths, partying, drugs...etc. It's actually really sad to see. Kids who could make something great out of themselves and be such a good influence fall into that trap of the world...it's almost like giving in on their part until they decide to get back to Jesus.
Well, I'm so glad that God has given me this desire to be unswayed by the world, and to want to stay strong and resist all the temptations of high school.

"But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven."[Matt. 10:33]

I pray that I never hide my light and deny Jesus who died for me just because I am so concerned about what my peers may think of me. I plan on having God tell me "well done thou good and faithful servant" when I get to heaven. definitely!

"Do not envy wicked men, do not desire their company;" [Proverbs 24:1]

I don't even want to be involved in the junk of the world because they are the ones that are truly missing out on the relationship with the one who made them...

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." [Romans 12:2]

I am up to that challenge! : )
