Who doesn't want 12 different group chats for thirteen hundered different topics to do with coming together for something amazing? ✋🏻
TWO: The extremely easy bonds you create.
Even if you've just joined the youth group from another church, come off the street, or are figuring out what church is- they're beyond accepting & I guarantee you'll click with at least one person, and that person - will be your person.
THREE: The creative outlet.
This may just be for a small amount of people out there- but as for me and my youth group (we will serve the Lord) lol, but what I mean is: we can let out ideas we have for games, talk about events we wanna hold & paint our lives onto each other's hearts. It's an incredible outlet to have in your life.
FOUR: The random movie nights.
Whether it's watching a hilarious amount of crappy America's Got Talent auditions or Fun With Dick & Jane- it's amazing to have genuine people surrounding you, enjoying the simple things in life.
FIVE: The support.
Ups and downs happen more often than not in everyday life, and it's beyond amazing to have people to catch you when you fall. Or even when you're looking for a shoulder to cry on, or someone to vent to; it's there.
SIX: did I mention the group chats?
SEVEN: The Accountability*.
When your heart is set on doing things for the Lord, but you know you'll struggle doing it on your own- it's incredible to be able to ask your church family to aid you in whatever it is you need aiding in.
EIGHT: The family bond you have.
You're willing to defend them if someone is rude to them on social media, says something rude in Starbucks, or someone judges them for something in their past. You're a family, you stick by them, forgive them, pray about them & give them to God.
NINE: The reliability.
Whether it's asking them to remind you about what time youth is at on Friday, or picking you up for church on Sunday morning. (& anything else in between) you know these people will do anything for you, and if they can't, they make a way.
TEN: The Truth.
Honestly, honesty is our best quality. You're with these people to get closer to God, and to open your heart & get real. It's not only easy, but weight lifting.
This post is dedicated to my youth group, and discipleship group. Love you guys. xo
