Dear users/readers.

We would like to apologize. We have not posted on this blog for almost a year. The only reason for this is that we are all teenagers and since most of us just entered into highschool, the craziness in our lives has multiplied. Starting now, we are going to begin again. But, our posts are going to be more like journal entries than like articles in a newspaper as they were before. We would love for you to comment and tell us what you think about our changes.

Psalm 46:1-5

 ¹ God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. ² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,  ³ though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. ⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. ⁵ God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

The Lord is your Father. He loves you enough that He would send His only perfect son to die for you. He is there for you. He will always be there. He is our rock and we can always depend and lean on Him. Don’t be afraid to trust Him. It says in here, “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her…” This is so amazing to think that God is within us, and even if we stumble, He will always be there to catch us!

In The Shadow

I have a really good friend that has a problem. Being in a family with six kids, and her being the fifth, she doesn’t get a lot of attention. Not only that, she’s a twin! And it so happens that her twin is very outgoing – everybody’s best friend. Everyone always says, “Oh, you’re Katie’s twin! Yeah, she’s awesome! You are so lucky!”

She always feels like she’s in the shadow of somebody else. Nobody – including her own family - knows her for who she really is, because nobody takes the time to really look. Everyone knows her as such-and-such’s younger or older sister.

Because she doesn’t get a lot of attention, she’s beginning to think that she doesn’t deserve any attention – that she isn’t special. She tells me that she’s not a unique person because anything that she can do well, one of her siblings can do it better, or however she looks, one of her other siblings will always look better. She has a very low self esteem. And she doesn’t see how God – or anybody – can love her as much as they can love her siblings. Please help!
