Todays Discussion In Sunday School Class

Hello there!

I'm Sydney, the only redhead in my parents household, and for those who know me will tell you that I am a box of random outbursts! Especially in Sunday School Class with all the other boxes of outbursts that run in and out of that hall in the very top floor of my church. But today's class was very different my second mother/youth group leader wasn't there, her beloved dog that the whole youth group knows and loves has been very sick lately and she is needed at her house, so today the people who were there (including myself) weren't as random as we usually were. But, even without my second mother, God managed to let me see him in that hall on the very top floor of my church. My birth Mom is a volunteer in my youth group, but might as well be the second youth group leader, lead the class today with a Devozine. It's a magazine that my youth group leader buys for our youth group for devotions. And today my Mom and I just opened it to a random page and saw big bold words saying "the God letters" The group that we had there today find it interesting, so we read it as our devotional. Here it is! "When I was younger, I loved journals-or at least I loved the idea of keeping a journal. Each time I received one for my birthday, I faithful began writing down every single thing that happened. Then months later, I would find it under my bed, covered with dust. I never had the willpower to write for more than a week.
A year ago, I bought a new journal. this time, instead of recording the events of my life, I wrote prayers and letters to God. I copied psalms and wrote about how I was feeling. Much to my surprise, I not only finished the journal, but I continued this practice in another one! Before I began writing letters to God, I felt as if I were in a spiritual rut and often became frustrated with my faith. Now, when I read through previous entries, I can see evidence of God's presence in my life and the ways my faith has grown. I've learned that whether we pray out loud or through the pages of a journal, God is ready to listen." When we finished reading it, everyone one in the class (except one) found that was a great idea, and wanted to do it. My Mom then asked if she got us journals if we would want to do something like that, and once more everyone (except one) wanted to do it now even more. I'm not going to lie, I didn't want to go to church this morning. My family from North Carolina had just left yesterday (except one), and I was planning on catching up on my sleep. But that class in the very top floor in the hall, made me think about starting a blog. My Aunt Shannon has a blog, and so does my Aunt Julie, so I knew it was safe to do. But I could write down stuff that Christian teen's had to go through all the time. The Devozine's "the God letters" help me think of the idea, so now after church, going to try to do it after church anyways hahaha, I will try my hardest to write about either the Sunday School Class on the very top floor in the hall or talk about the Christian teenager life/faith.
