I would like to dedicate this post to a friend, I'm not going to say her name. You know who you are!
I just recently got off the phone with her, she is an amazing girl that I have known for almost 6 years!
Someone I can laugh and cry with. You're always kind, and say just the right thing, even when you don't say anything at all.
Thank you, for always being there. Love, Kirsty

Hello, sorry it has taken so long to write another post, I have been extremely busy!

Wednesday night when I was at church, my youth pastors were talking about Ignite. Many of you have probably heard this word or even think you know what it means, I thought I did. The main interpretation of this word that they used was "one group of people coming together for one cause and purpose". I would have never thought of this meaning, what I generally think of when hearing this word is something to do with flames, or fire. But, I guess in a way this is all the same.

You know that feeling where you go to church and sit through the songs and teaching, but you don't really get anything out of it?
I went through a time where I would sit through worship with an attitude of "God, you haven't fixed my problems yet so you don't deserve my praise". Now, I didn't actually say this or even think this, but that was the way I was acting. I looked at all the things wrong in my life instead of all the good things.
I would see all of the other people praising God, and think everything must be going great for them, and that's why they can praise God.
Obviously, this is wrong, and I am so thankful that I have seen how wrong I was.

I hope this will encourage you to look at your life honestly. It wasn't easy to admit my attitude. But it feels so much better to be honest and open. Now, I can worship God the way I'm supposed to.

Will be posting again soon!

Thank you for coming to my live journal.
My name is Kirsty, I am a Christian teenager who loves God.
In my journal I will post multiple events that happen throughout my life and show how God always works things out for good.
This is going to be as much of a help to me as it will, hopefully, be to you.
It's always good to be able to look back on your own life and see how God has brought you through the toughest times of your life.
So please come back soon and, hopefully, I'll have my first real post up.

Thanks again,

Kirsty
