Hey its Teenella and I'm sure you know what today is. GOOD FRIDAY!!! The day the son of God made that big sacrifice that offered us salvation and eternal life. What Jesus did on the cross for mankind on this very day isn't something ordinary, its extraordinary. Imagine someone who created us was shamed, beaten and disgraced by his very own creation. Do you realize Jesus could have decided not to die on that cross. I mean God didn't order him to. But because of the inexplicable love and mercy Jesus had for mankind he came in flesh and paid the price for our prize- the opportunity of salvation and eternal love. Jesus I thank you for the sacrifice you made on the cross this very day. Thank you for salvation and eternal life even though I'm not worthy of it.

There's one major problem I have and that's not speaking up. I know what's right and what's wrong but I keep succumbing to wrong. I just make up an excuse for my actions. Its something that has become more of a habit. I end up feeling guilty and sort of condemned. I usually spend many nights thinking over my actions and wondering what I could have done better. I'm sure of it now. I have to learn to stand up and speak out on what I believe, my faith and opinions. If you're out there and you feel the need to be bold about your opinions like me, say this prayer with me: Dear Lord I thank you for today. Thank you for you provision and protection over my life. Thank you Lord for letting me see my fault. I ask in your name to give me the grace to be bold and stand up an speak out. Amen

Are you bored. Well why not hunger to be useful. Why not spend this year being busy for the Lord. I encourage you to ask God to use you this year. There are so many ways you can help enlarge the kingdom of God. You don't necessarily have to go round carrying a bible (although that's a way!) why not use your God-given talents. Do you have a persuasive attitude then persuade someone to read a verse in the bible. Are you a good speaker, why not speak up about God! I mean what's so wrong with that! Come on we are christians. Not just christians we are youths, which means we can be crazy, silly😉 be crazy for God this year and spread it. why not say this simple prayer with me today: Lord I want to be used this year. Father help me to be bold in declaring your greatness. I pray that this year I will use my talents and gifts to your glory.

Cloudy With A Chance of Books: Top Ten Books I'd Hand to a Non-Reader Hey Youths checkout this amazing blog. I am a die hard lover of books📚. Hope you are too😏.

       The power of lyrics is immeasurable. The words can cut through hearts, mend broken wounds, bring untold comfort and uplifting of our spirit.        Throughout this year I have seen and felt the power of music. When I was broken He music healed me. When frustrated, it brought motivation. When angry it showed me the mercy of God. When lost it showed me light. When sick it brought strength to my body.        God is working into our hearts. In many ways. I have discovered one: Music 🎼🎹🎶. Through music God speaks directly to me. He tells me not to worry, shows me my faults and brings so much gladness to my heart.        The Holy Spirit brings a song to my heart and when i sing it it brings an activation of my spirit man.              I'll share one of the ways in which music has brought lyrical healing to me.

Hey guys! Its Teenella reporting live from her bedroom😉. I just started this blog and I've been thinking nonstop what I should write about.  I wanted to write some kind of mission statement. But it didn't seem appealing to me. So I've spared you the weary talk. 📝 I'm not saying mission statements are boring or. Unimportant. I'll do it later. Instead I'm going to explain what it means to be a christian youth. Two words here: Christian and youth. Definitions: Christian- a religious person who believes Jesus is the Christ and who is a member of a Christian denomination. Youth- a young person (especially a young man or boy) literally a Christian youth is a young person who is a follower of Christ. But I believe there's more to it than just a young follower. Surely it has a deeper meaning. What's you're understanding of a christian youth? To be continued....
