I have a question

MOOD: Confused 

 

Ok, so i have a question.

What if i want to do something, but i am afraid people will treat me diffent b/c i am not going with the flow. (and no this is nothing bad, it has to do with going to my youth at DFA) i mean everytime i tell someone i am ~thinking~ about going to the youth b/c i like it, they look at me like i am a horrible person and say they dont like it and dont think i should go. But what i am yelling (well thinking in my head at lest) is
*HELLO you are so sheltered you can't handle people that might be different from you or what you are used to. You just rather walk away then stop and help, listen to their story, give then a helping hand and maybe be a good influence. They need Jesus just as much as you did, and if we all just walked away b/c you were different from us, then you wouldn't have met Jesus, we have to give them the same chance that you were given* I dont know, maybe i should listent to them and not go to youth and just teach the kids...... but i think i could do some good in youth. I mean seeing 12 year old girls with so much makeup... its sick. It tells me, they think they have to put on so much makeup b/c the world doesn't think they are pretty enough. But they are FANTASTIC just the way God made them. They dont need man made things to make them any prettier. Maybe i could show them that being your self is fun, and is a lot easier then acting like someone else.

 

I dont know,

What do you guys think?

I say do what you want. I think you could probably do some good there. I don't think it is a big deal that girls wear make up. Maybe they just like the way the look in it. That is like someone wearing American Eagle, a lot of people wear it to fit in, most just wear it because they like the clothes. Don't let the way someone looks at you hold you back from something that you want to do.

Grace I think if you think you should go tot youth then it doesn't matter what anyone else says. You have awesome reasons for wanting to go and I for one would support your decision to go to youth instead of working w/ the kids. You never know - you might make a diff. to all those girls who don't want you to go over there. Maybe when they see how awesome you do in youth they may wanna go! :)

I don't normally leave remarks on stranger's thoughts, but when I saw this I thought I should speak up. If you feel that God has given you this chance to minister to kids in your youth group I say go for it. Really, I can't think of any reason why you should not go. It seems to me that a lot of your friends are avoiding the situation because they're uncomfortable with it, but when did God ever say that being a Christian would be comfortable. It sounds like these young girls need a positive influence in their lives, and I know from personal experience that being there for people like that is a huge blessing for both parties involved. And like your friend above said, once your friends see what you're doing there, they may want to go as well. But even if you're alone, it's ok, as long as you know that you are doing the right thing.
