God is sufficient
Almost everyone at my school lives in the world. There are a select few that live for Jesus & then a WHOLE LOT that straddle the fence. Many high school students think that doing the wrong thing is fun and that going to church and living for Jesus is boring. I was talking to one guy about this & I was trying to explain that doing the wrong things, although they are "fun", can ruin not only our lifes here on earth but our eternal life with God. He kind of laughed it off and walked away. I hope that the seeds that I plant in highschool actually turn into something. I used to straddle the fence but then I learned that God wants you HOT or COLD. None of this in between junk. Personally, I think that living for Jesus is way more fun than drinking or partaying. (not that ive experienced that) but what could be better than being in the presence of God. my creator, savior & master. Please pray for this one guy in particular that ive been talking to about Jesus. Pray that God open's his eyes and his heart.

I know you don't know me, but I really feel the need to encourage you. I lived the "wordly" life in high school & a few weeks into college. And I mean I really lived it, hardcore. And you are so right. Living for Jesus IS way more fun than partying...and sometimes it's not. Sometimes I still want that life because sin is fun, that's why it's tempting. But a Christian life is so fulfilling. God truly blesses you when you live for him. I know. I really know. I graduate from college in 2 weeks, I've been married to an incredible man (who was saved 2 years ago) for almost 2 years, and I have a beautiful baby son. Christ changes your desires. When I got to college & was partying, one night, I just sat in my room, drunk and cried. I knew there was more to life than that. I knew I didn't want to be used by men. I knew I didn't want to treat my body like that. I knew Christ even in high school, but I didn't really KNOW Him until college. Until I realized how precious life is. So be encouraged because seeds fall and they will fall on fertile souls.
Well, you are pretty much the most amazing student a youth pastor could ask for. I'm proud of you for sharing your faith. I know it's hard. I love you...and stinking proud too
