I thought I was fine. I used to believe school was the most important thing in my life. My priorities were a mess, as also my thoughts and feelings. The worst part is that I thought that was fine, I thought that was life. I wasn’t honest; I pushed everyone down so I can be at the top. School makes you believe that having good grades is the key of a successful life and human being, maybe they don’t want you to understand that, but everything they do when awarding and mentioning the ones with good grades is what you understand when you are little. Because when you are at the top of your class they listen to you, but if you weren’t you were just another student at the corner. It is sad but it is the truth. My feelings and thoughts were a mess. …show more content…
I had hunger and thirst, but not of righteousness I had thirst and hunger of knowing God. That’s when I understand lots of thing that had happened in my life, and that God was always talking to me, and that I always wanted to feel his love but is not that easy to believe in something that you cant see. The day passed and I started to realize how lucky and grateful I was for everything in my life, and for how stupid I have being for treating everybody wrong, and for not giving my family the attention and love they deserved, but I was mostly asking forgiveness to myself for not taking care of me as the way I deserved, and for not doing the things I love but the things people have always told me to do. I wasn’t happy. When the moon came out I went to the chapel to talk to God. I have never cried that much in my entire life. I was so sorry for ignoring him all this years, and for all my sins that at the end they made me suffer more that they made me happy. I was on my knees and I have never felt so small, is a feeling I don’t think I can describe, it felt good to be small and to feel God in my heart to feel him finally inside of me. I felt his love and I wouldn’t change those moments for anything in the
I realised that I would live to see another day and suddenly, the invisible weight that had been hovering over my shoulders seemed to float away. My heart settled down into
All of the other kids became silent and scared of Miss Fisher. On my way home I began thinking about how much I wanted to go to school earlier this morning. Now, I never want to go back. School is worse than I thought it would be. I thought of it as this fun place of learning and meeting new friends.
After we were done for the night, I couldn't wait to tell Lisa what had happened. I didn't know it was called being saved, I just knew that something amazing had happened. We spent the rest of my time at college house that night praying, thanking him for his glory, and for finding me when I needed him most. The rest of my night, I spent calling my family and friends and telling them the amazing news. From that moment on I have been fully devoted to my faith.
My teenage age years of fornication, idolatry, alcohol consumption, and partying left and His peace and fullness filled me with His love and forgiveness! My life before knowing Jesus Christ was without purpose, full of dissatisfaction and emptiness. When I didn’t knew Christ, I remember when Christian people said to me: "Christ loves you.", but I thought people say it to other people who had serious problems. Indeed, I did had the most serious problem of all: eternal separation from God.
I did not care about how I performed or what kind of review the teacher gave my parents about me. I saw school as a horrible place that I went
It was 7:05am on a Thursday morning, when I had woken. I lied down in my bed gazing at the ceiling as my obnoxious alarmed screamed at me to get up and prepare for another day of school. I was beyond exhausted. It was November 17th. Thanksgiving break was just around the corner waiting for me to relax and get my mind off the prison we call school.
Middle school was nothing less than a controlled mess: cluttered, chaotic, and strewn, but understandable to those who lived in it. I started a new segment of my life during a difficult chapter. During the summer between the fifth and sixth grade, I had a falling out with most of my friends. It was over something stupid, some meaningless childhood argument that I can hardly remember the meaning of now, but at the time, stood for an injustice I couldn’t roll over for.
The first few weeks of school were great. I had stupendous grades, and I was flourishing in all of my classes. But after a while, I stared to skip school with my friends, because we thought classes were dull. Since I had an IEP school didn’t matter to me because as long as I reached the academic goal I’d be fine.
I remember how I felt when God delivered me from alcohol, drugs, and living a life that did not revere Him. God showed His grace and mercy to me by doing for me what I could not do for myself. Alcohol and drugs became a way of life for me, and as a slave to them, I could not break the yoke it had on me.
Faith in God didn’t mean much to me. God, however, is gracious, even when we are not. He waited for me to come to the end of myself. Then he got my attention.
While I was typing this to my aunt through Facebook, it got me thinking and realizing where I actually stood when it came to my religion. I was confused, worried, and curious. All those years at church in elementary school became unimportant. Everything I learned there was gone. I felt like I entered into a new world with much curiosity.
That was a time where I didn’t have a care in the world. I wasn’t plagued by the never-ending perturbation of homework, tests, or projects. For the first time in a long while, I felt free. But that freedom was short-lived as the bell confined me back into a colorless classroom filled with my jaded companions. You could say that feeling disappointed was an understatement.
I could not take it anymore. On cold February evening, I attended a Christian Bible study where I met new friends. They prayed for me and made me feel closer to God. I remember thinking that night, ‘these are the kind of people I want to be surrounded by’.
In school, things can get pretty rough. There is a bunch of homework, tests, and lots of other things that can stress a student out. A student needs to find some sort of process that works for them. They need to be organized, so everything is laid out in front of them. Getting organized, and preparing yourself is a great way to get great grades in school.
I was expecting eighth grade to be exactly like seventh, just better. However, I was wrong. Two weeks into the school year, my mom came into my room wanting to talk to me; I was annoyed because a show I wanted to watch was about to come on, but I let her come in anyways. I wasn’t expecting what she would say next because I never expected to move until I was in college. The only thing I remember saying was that I hated my mom, yelling that in her face, and I have beat myself up about it ever since, but I didn’t know what to say.
