Who am I?

                Who am I? I pondered this question after our church youth leader had us all write letters to another person in the youth group about ourselves, I started thinking who am I exactly? As I thought about this I wrote down who I think I am and what I am.  WHO AM I? I am a teenager. I am the oldest kid in my family. I am the daughter of my parents. I am a twin. I am a child of the King. I am not of this world. I am adopted into a better life. I am a complex being and no one else is exactly like me. I am unique I have often been called strange or weird. I have my own personalty. I am learning to love, forgive and turn the other cheek. I am a person with more flaws then you can count. I am undeserving of forgiveness yet I am forgiven only by Jesus' grace. I am me. A child of the King. 

SEA TURTLES; What do you choose?

 Sea turtles are one of God's most amazing creatures! Their born in the sand emerging out of their eggs and head straight for the sea, there the young turtles struggle to survive with the many dangers like fish and other predators, which they constantly have to face throughout their lives until they are grown and the dangers lessen. So why don't the turtles stay on the beach where there is less danger and more safety? Do they know of the dangers that await them in the sea? The young turtles do not know danger nor do they stay on the beach where it is safe because if they stay too long on the beach danger lies where it seems to be the most safe, you see if they do not leave they with shrivel up and die. They have to face the danger in order to live, they take the risk of the sea and only a few make it nevertheless they answer the call of the sea. Like Sea turtles  each person has to make the decision to serve God and face the trials and problems this world throws at us, to face persecution or act like the world and stay where it is "safe". Many people hear God calling reaching out to them, some answer the call and fewer make it.      

Matthew 20:16 (King James Version)                                                                                                                              ^"16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen." 

WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL JESUS HAS FOR YOU?

Witnessing: Am I supposed to witness?

           If you are asking these questions here are some verse that might answer your questions.                       Am I supposed to be a witness?                                                                                   Acts 1:8 (King James Version)
 ^"8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
 Everyone who believes in Jesus and follows him will witness.
 How can I improve the way I                 witness?                                                                                                                                               2 Timothy 2:15 (King James Version)                                                                                                 ^"15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 
What does witnessing show others?                                               James 2:20 (King James Version) "²⁰But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"     So if you have faith in Jesus you will witness.                                                                                                                               Who do I witness to?                                                                                                            Acts 1:8 (King James Version)

 "⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth"                                                                                                                                                       So if we're supposed to witness to the uttermost part of the earth who do we witness to? The answers is everyone.

How Not To Witness.

Two funny videos I found on You Tube on how not to witness.

Witnessing: what is a witness?

                        So many people do not understand witnessing is, so what is a witness? witnessing is more then knocking on doors, teaching a Bible study and telling others about Jesus. It's true all those are different ways to witness but I'm going to tell you about an even better way to be a witness by living out a daily walk with God, living the way God wants you to. Being a witness by living out the way God want us to effects the way you talk, the way you dress, the places you go down to the way you think and the people you spend the most time with. If you swear, drink, do drugs or dress inappropriate or spend most of your time with people who do such things your witness of how Jesus changed your life will not be affective and others will not even want to know who he is. So by obeying Jesus' word and living up to your witness is the best way to be a witness. The second best is by telling others what God has done for you and it can be as easy as telling your friends about a new music group that you think is awesome. Basically a witness is telling someone what you've seen, heard or experienced of what God has done for you or someone else.
