Morph 2

I lost my voice....... I have a headache..... but the glory of God was revealed tonight to a number of teenagers!! It was awesome, we had a guy named Stuart Hall speak (Picture), he was awesome and really got through to the teens. I learned a lot about myself, the fact that teenagers respect me is really kind of neat. I guess in a sense I feel older, more mature. But I also saw what I will be working with in a couple of years. The teenagers scared me to death. I had one that wouldn't stop flirting with every boy in the room, one that wanted to walk away every time I turned my back, and one that was just plain destructive. I honestly asked myself if I was really like that when I was a teenager. I think I was. Throughout high school I was the guy that everybody knew. The funny guy that wasn't nasty or rude to anyone. I didn't belong to a click, even though I did played football, I wasn't considered a jock. I was in acting, and I wasn't considered the art freak. I enjoyed FCA, but wasn't classified under the "Christian Group" ( see post entitled Morph). I was really just a social butterfly (thanks Ruele for the word). I then became president of my high school and everybody knew who I was at the time. So I look back, and wonder was I stuck up, was I inconsiderate, was I a prick? I don't think that I was that way and my friends said that I wasn't. But what bothers me is that I know that I didn't reflect Christ in my high school the way that should have. I want to instill the tens that I work with that they need to do that! They really need to have Christ in their hearts and be meditating on him constantly, so that he will shine through, or to go with the metaphor, he will be reflected. I can't until I have a group of my own, so that I can shape their minds, and see Jesus shape their hearts. And if I mess up, well that is why we have a psychology department at CIU........
