Church activities, school work, BGR, etc... Seems like u go through so much during the teens... Haha... no, i'm not going through them now...
Just that during G12 last night, after hearing all the testimonies and prayer requests, i sort of feel for the teens... the school work is more hectic now than it was during my time... (when police still wear shorts...) hahahahaha... BGR's have become so much more complicated... Even relationships between frens have become so volatile... I remember last time when frens could tell each other of their faults and short-comings without the fear of "offending" the other party... I mean, true frens are the only ones who tell u the truth... No point having frens who seem to constantly support you with superficiality... If you're in the wrong, and you know it, dun go looking for "fake" frens to condone your mistakes... look for true frens who tell u that you're wrong, so that at least u can improve as a person... Used to happen in the past... Now... sigh... everything also need to worry about others' feelings... Maybe that's why i only have a handful of frens, cos not many can handle the cold hard truth i "provide"... haha... =p Confused? Let's see how i can explain this... hmm... Ok, true frens are the ones who genuinely care wat happens to u and wat type of person u become. Superficial frens, though seeming very supportive, dun care if you're going down the wrong road. So in my case, if I didn't care about someone, i wouldn't waste my saliva telling him/her off when he/she is in the wrong. I'll just get keep quiet and let him/her carry on with an ignorant and disillusioned life. Dun live a life dats a constant popularity contest.
If you want to win something... win souls for God...!!!
I never used to have so much problems in my teens... Only thing that bothered me was whether or not I was going to pass my exams... And when the next gaming console was going to be released... Maybe cos i was a boring person... haha But if being boring can save me from the many problems kids face these days, i'm for it..
After last night, i've come to realise that kids nowadays need Jesus more than anything else... How else to cope??
Wat would happen when they finish school and enter the work force? If they get offended at the slightest thing, how to survive? If get so easily stressed, how to manage?
Only by trusting and believing in Jesus can they do it...
Proverbs Chapter 3:5 & 6: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
