Just letting you know, I started a new blog today! I wanted a more modern blog, and this blog is a little more on the unique side; I also just wanted to start afresh with a blog that's a little happier. If I decide it's necessary, I will retire this one.
Anyway, check it out, and I hope you enjoy! --> http://theblogofateenagechristian.blogspot.com/
Also, feel free to continue reading this one. I will not stop posting, but I want a little publicity for my other one. :)

Dedication
I had a few epiphanies this week. I realized that I am not ready for a lot of things that I want in life, and I have to let God take full control. I never really spoke about God in my life, and I want to do it so much more now.
I found God. I did not discover Him for the first time; I simply realized Him. I do not want to sound smart, or like I am blind to the fact that I am wrong sometimes, which I am not, but I think that people are selfish. All people. All people share the same mistake: we are completely and utterly human. It is in our nature to commit wrong-doings, to be selfish, vulgar, and a ton other nasty things, but I am trying to overcome that; however, I realized that I can only do that with God's help.
When I was young, I surrendered my life to God in a few different ways. I was saved, the first step that is taken in a Christian walk, and then I surrendered my career to Him. I gave my life and future to Him, promising to become a missionary. I am not rich, and I can not do alot of things on my own right now, so I am just going to wait until the Lord provides for me.
I am also going to use what He has given me so that I can minister even when I can not be somewhere in person: I am going to use my blog to glorify Him. Since the beginning, I have been vain, trying to use my blog to make myself look good, but I do not want to lie. I want to show myself as me, and if you do not like me, you are going to have to walk away because I will not turn my thoughts from God; not again. I know that what I have been doing is wrong, and I do not want to try to glorify myself, because I do not want to look selfish; even not wanting to look bad can sometimes be considered selfish, however. So I am just going to be what God wants me to be and that will have to be that.
I have been stumbling about in the darkness and trying to grab hold of anything that would help me in life. I now realize that I should have simply let God take control, but I was self-conscious, and and I didn't want to do anything to draw attention to myself because I didn't want to look bad. I need to get over my self-consciousness; I need to help people rather than myself. So from now on, this blog is dedicated to Christ and His Purpose.
Wow! It feels good to do that officially!
