I think I should use my leadership postition to do great things. I was originally planning on parties and things, so I'm sorry if thats what you were expecting. Now I'm thinking maybe service projects. It would be fun to go up to St. Jude and hang out with the kids. Things like that.
I guess I need to think of GOOD activities to do, give people a chance to do fun, wholesome things. My first idea is ultimate frisbee after registration.
I dont go to church because I don't feel welcome. Maybe I should go back and see if I can make a diference. It has got to start somewhere, right?
This new life will make us happy.

Kirby, I'm sorry for the delayed response but this is to yesterday and todays blog.
Church camp changes people, but it's sadly usually just a week or two high that seems to fade once the memories do. Please don't let that feeling you have fade.
Everybody has potential to do great things. It's that drive to find out what they are and actually do them that makes certain people differ from others. The crowds we hang around, the things we get used to, they all define who you are. In this I don't mean.. if you go to parties, even if you don't drink, you're doomed to hell. I mean, when you're used to seeing people act certain ways you find ways to justify the things you do or dont do. if you plan on doing something great, but see people doing nothing, you may say.. well right now im doing more than them, so that's good enough. there is no good enough. keep pushing. you do have a wonderful gift of leadership and so many talents that can reach people in heart-breaking ways. sometimes that's what people need.
if you feel unwelcome at church, that's the church's problem, not yours. try testing out different churches. first find a thirst to live better and to seek out God's will for you, then you'll feel welcome wherever you are. You'll see that if people are criticising you or not being social enough it has nothing to do with them. their hearts just aren't in the right place. so you pray for them. and be an influence.
pray that you keep your movitation. pray that you starve for that gift not to leave you ever. help people. that's rare today, and it breaks my heart.
i'm sorry, but i proofread too late. in the second to last paragraph i meant to write it has nothing to do with you.
ive tried lots of churches, even the one I was baptized into and went to since a young age.. i didnt feel welcome at any but one of them, and that one is assembly of God which I dont believe in alot of what that denomination believes in.
I am going to go to that church just to see again and I am going to try out my old church too. Maybe something will be different for me. I hope.
I have a "partner" in this. He goes to church camp with me and has since I was young. He lives far away, but he will help me be strong.
Its nice to have a friend.
Sincerely Thanks Anonymous.
I'll keep you in my prayers. Pray for patience, and strength. I promise you'll find somewhere that feels like home.
you're forever welcome.
