What Am I Doing?

SO, I decided not to do the Hurting Youth thing yet. I might sometime soon because it's something close to me. Anyway, I just want to say I have one of the best youth groups ever.
I love you CCC. (Crossroads Community Church)

I don't know if anyone understands how important ministering to our teens are. Like your youth pastors say, "Teens aren't the Church of tomorrow but today." That is kind of moving right, kind of makes your realize you don't have time to "wait" because you don't have tomorrow but today to worry about.

Which has also got me to thinking about what God wants me to do for him. I love working for him, although I don't always do it right. And I know I'm not always perfect, and I have no excuse other than I am human which I don't see as a great excuse. Do you? So I've been trying to think of ways to help my community even more. I have come up with a few ideas like a garden for our local nursing home and domestic violence center.

But I have also realized that I have been doing a good amount for God. Although I could be doing sooo much more I have been doing some.

#1. My mission trips each year. I've been helping people all over which brings all of us joy.
#2. APSRC and ASPCA. I love animals and God loves it when I take care of his creatures. He loves them too! Animals are more than some people think!
#3. National Right to Life. I'm defending the unborn. Those who can't speak for themselves. God commands us to do that. (I can't remember which Psalms or Proverbs but I know it's there. xP )

Those are some major things I've been doing, but even the simplest thing like helping some one you know out is a part, right?

So, I want to try and keep on helping everyone. For God.

When I went to the beach with some friends we went to a Church on Sunday that had some drive to them. Around a year old and on fire for our Lord. They kept it 'real' as some might say. ;)

What blew me away was the way they prayed for their fellow churches, by name. You never hear that anymore and even Paul did that. You can see it through out his letters to different churches. He asked for them to do so! But the way this church knew that every Church out there was ONE Church was amazing. We all tend to fall into this idea that as Churches we are in competition. They do know that the Church are the people and we need to get out there and work for our God in our community. They were reflecting on what they had done the past few months. I was blown away by their excitment for Christ and SERVING.

Anyway, that really made me happy. It also hit me hard because I had been hearing this message everywhere and so have all my friends. Think it's time? Yes.

So, this is my time to go out.
This is your time to get out.
This is the time for the Church to get out and off.

It's time!!!!!


With Love,

The Hurting Youth [[Part 1]]

'I tossed and turned. Sorrow pulsed through me like blood, starting at my heart and slowly but surly spreading over my whole body. It engulfed me, swallowing me up, blinding me. I didn't understand, I just couldn't. How could someone be in so much pain over one trivial thing? How? It was ripping me apart, gnawing at me. I couldn't focus on anything. In school I would zone out, lost in a world that kept haunting things around every corner. At home I'd sit in my room, blankly staring at my wall. Once again lost. With my friends? I wasn't even aware. I'd move around like a robot, unconnected with the world around me. All I could thing of was the pain, no matter what I was doing. What made it worse was the fact that I could pretend I was okay. I could fool everyone with this masquerade; poising as this perfect, well-put girl. The truth though? I was suffering. I was in so much pain it took all my strength just to get up in the morning. I would lie, saying I was just tired. I wasn't though. I was fully awake, but drained of fight. I didn't know how to get through the day with out shedding a single tear. I couldn't breath at times it hurt so bad. I was depressed." 

I know that's not as well put as could be but I want you to read that and act like that's you talking. Imagine the heaviness on this girls heart. Pretend that it's you experincing this. Now, if that affected you in any way realize that tons of people around you are feeling that way. Pass a teenage boy in the store? He might be feeling that pain. See a girl singing praise in church? She might be feeling that way. You never know. But we must realize that the pain is there.

So, for the first post of The Hurting Youth I just want you to think about this pain. This feeling of giving up and having no hope. Then we'll move on to the rest so you can really see into the world of hurting youth.

What We Don't See Now

Look me in the eyes,

I know what you're thinking,

trapped between two doors.

Stuck at the fork in the road,

eager to take the most promising way.

Look me in the eyes,

I know where the pain is.

I've felt it before,

pain surging through like white hot iron on the skin. 

I know the pain is there,

I can feel it radiating off of you.

I know how it tears out from the inside,

trying to control your life.

Look me in the eyes,

and try to tell me that it's not real.

Try and lie to me and say,

'Everything is alright.'

I know when you lie,

because I've spoken those bitter words too.

I've walked on those burning coals,

trying to find a footing. 

Look me in the eyes,

tell me you love me,

because I love you,

and that's why I'm here.

Let me start with this: I know my poetry isn't great. There are people with way better skill out there. I don't doubt it. But with this poem it's just not any poem. It's too so many people out there. Especially a girl I know who I met when I went to Texas. She's like my second cousin or something like that. Anyway, I know she's hurting. She's not afraid to tell me but I want her to know I'm there for her. Always. She has tremendous talent in poetry. She gave me one of her poems and it blew me away.

So this series is going to be about something that is really, really, close to me.

The Hurting Youth. 

SO, this is NOT the  the 1st post of the series, but it's ---the intro. 

I want YOU to think about the Hurting Youth though. Theres more to it than you know. Way more. 

So, here we go. I hope you'll enjoy it!!!

My Writers Block

What can I possibly write? O Muse, where are you?

Here Muse, bless me with a story from God. Oh, Lord, this is my story to you.

Make it, forum it...through me. I am your pen, that's all.

Use me—I'll never run out of beautiful ink.

Word's shall flow—like never before.

This is my prayer Lord. I am your pen.

I never run out until you take me home.

This is it, I write your words with love for them.

Cradling like children, my reason for not needing them.

I find my life in words, that flow from the page with fever.

I know what my words can do.

Control them. Make them yours. I find my true love in these letters.

Why I lack the need for any man. I find my world, in these things you have made.

O Muse, Oh Lord, bless me, bless me with the power of words.

--Lia--

Just to say I'm alive.

I know I haven't posted in a while and I just wanted to say 'hi'. So, how is the world?

Well, I'll come up with a post sometime. :D

Quoting The Insane

Here are some 'quotes' of mine. :)

Yeah, things I've said that I love saying.

'May the good Lord take that plank in your eye and beat you over the head with it.' - I read my Bible everyday, can't you tell?

'In order to fly we must fall off the edge of a cliff first.'- Yeaaaaaah.I got in touch with my sappy side as best as I could.

'Treat others like you treat your crush. Swoon over them.'- Hahaha, truth be told!!! :D

'If someone knocks you down just enjoy how funny they look from your view.' - *sings* I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't never gonna keep me down!"

'If you got too much 'love' you'll drown in it. Literally." - My negative views getting into my way....

'Hey, dude, pull your pants up.'- It's the truth.

'Olly Polly Og.' - Moving.

'Apolo Ohno got kicked out of the Ohno family because he said 'Oh Snap!'.'- From a very, very crazy mind.

And the best:

'The fact that I am a maniac has nothing to do with this.' - Lia

Enjoy. :)
