Final blog entry: It seems like this should be the climax of the blog. Really I just want the reality to be realized. There are always going to be teens to love, care and support, so its never to late to find some and get started. I think that we often think that we are not good enough or maybe that we would not be good at it. Those are just lies and cop outs. I believe that the more people you have who love you the better. For years I believed this myself. I thought that God could not use me to impact young lives for good. I was not living a life pleasing to him. My great aunt came along and told me I had to work with some inner city girls in 6th grade because I had a great gift of working with youth. So I showed up and loved the girls, but I could not share my life with them because I wanted them to better than I was being. However, this caused a change in my life. A huge change. I did not want to be a hippocrit morethan anything, so I made the changes needed in my life so it could be an open book again. I wanted to be a person that the girls could aspire to be like. Yes, we all have things of the past, but DO NOT let those things hold you back from doing the will of God. Ultimately I was impacted just as much if not more by working with the girls. Take all the excuses and all the lies that you are not good enough and find some kids to mentor.
