Christianity

Hello! I am Haylie.  I am 16 and I love life.  I do not do drugs or drink alcohol, or go to parties every weekend and hook up with those of the male gender.  Yes, there are girls out there that are like that.  No, I am not perfect.  I do argue with my parents sometimes and get mad at them and disrespect them every once in a while, but when/ if I realize I was wrong, I apologize.  I sometimes have a hard time making decisions or say the wrong things at the wrong time. but generally, I believe that I am on the right track.  I get good grades and I am working (for minimum wage of course).  I am happy.  I do not have a facebook or a twitter, or even a tumblr account.  I do have a pinterest and I have this wonderful blog.  I have a relationship with God and I am sure that if I were to die tomorrow, I would go to heaven because I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior.  So, I think that I am doing pretty well. 

I am not the only teenager like this, either!! I know, it's a little shocking.  I have friends that are like that too, though.  If you really talk to some of these kids you might find more out there like that.  You'd be surprised at how many teenagers are finding God and getting to know him.  It's not an easy thing, and you will find that many teens do still have some problems finding him and being the person that they want to be, but many of the christian "guys" and "chicks" will be some of the happiest people you meet.  There is a level of peace in finding God, even through all of the chaos and the storms you go through to get there.

I guess the point is, don't be afraid to go after God because you are afraid of the storms.  They are going to come.  It may be the most difficult thing you do in your whole life, but I guarantee that if you trust God and get to know who he is, you will find that level of peace.  You could find that you are the happiest that you have ever been.  You won't be perfect; it's just not going to happen.  Don't be discouraged because of that either, it really is okay to not be perfect.  No one is perfect, but you can still get into heaven.  You could have been the worst person in the world and done the most stupid things and gone to jail, or abused your children, or forgotten about birthdays every year, done drugs, even murdered.  If you change and find God, you will make it into heaven.  I know, it is the coolest thing ever!!!!! 

Just thought I would let the world know...
