Making Gentle A Bruised World
September 2012
Youth Ministry
By George Swank We all go through different chapters in our lives. Usually these chapters mark periods of change that we go through. In many ways they mark a new beginning and even a period in which we can start fresh. Many of our students are entering into a new chapter in their lives. These students have gone through many changes in their lives thus far and have many more yet ahead of them. During the last High School Youth Group in August, we had a discussion about this very topic. We had students who had just finished High School and are moving into a whole new chapter, and we had students who are about to enter their first year of High School. It was interesting to hear their thoughts and views on this new portion of their life. One student said she was both nervous and excited to go off to college. She was not thrilled about making all new friends and establishing herself in a new setting, but she was happy to have a fresh start and to begin her entrance into the "real world". Another student, who is entering high school, felt that she was not ready to be making decisions now that will affect her down the road. That the classes she chooses will make an impact on the rest of her high school years as well as the college she eventually attends. Though she is ready to take this on, there is an air of nervousness at the weight of these decisions. We took some time, also, to impart wisdom on those moving into their next chapters. Our high school graduates gave some wisdom to the new high schoolers. The main thing they said was, really buckle down and get good grades early on in school. It is much harder to bring up your GPA when it comes time to look at colleges. But if there is a strong foundation built up in your early years, then it is much easier to have that strong GPA for your college search. How great is that? What a great opportunity for our youth to impart wisdom to those moving up. I wish all our youth great success in these new chapters of their lives. Whether it be college, working or moving into high school, I hope God brings much fruit to their lives and walks with them as they traverse this new terrain. I leave you with a line from the song Unwritten: "today is where your book begins; the rest is still unwritten".
