My name is Kathryn and I am 13 years old.
Tonight I went to my church's youth service and my friends from another church were there for "Meet Me At The Pole" day. I have been to this youth group a lot of times in the past but it just never reached out to me and I've always felt really weak in my Spiritual Life because I feel as if I can't connect to what God is trying to say to me when others can One of my best friends who I've known for almost 7 years was there tonight, she has had a really hard time lately and she broke down at the altar crying as she wrote a prayer request, she came over to me afterwards and said "you know, sometimes God really speaks to you." And hugged me. I realized then that God really has spoken to me before but I've been acting deaf, I've been so focused on my own problems that I have yet to realize how much God has done for me and how much I need to reach out to others and let them know that God is there, always. Seeing my friend there sobbing at the altar reminded me of how much she needed me these past months and how when I was in pain she was there for me and how I should be there for her also.
Now I feel like I should start a website for the local teens and teens in general, kind of like To Write Love On Her Arms, a community focused on praying for teens in tough times, to be a hand to hold when you feel like no one's there. Mostly this website would be much like this one, a place for prayer requests. I think that this is what God is leading me to do, to reach out to teenagers in need. I am very confused and unsure, I am just a 13 year old girl I'm really wondering "has God really chosen for me to do this?". There have been time in my life where I've needed a hand to hold, someone to pull me through, and always, God has been there, my Church has been there, and my friend (who I mentioned earlier) has been there for me. I really just want to return the favor
Anyway, thank you to anyone who has read this, I am really just asking for a prayer to help God to lead me in the way I should go and give me the courage to do so.
